A particular gun (10kg) is able to fire 20 gram bullets at a speed of 350 m/s. From this information, calculate roughly how much

energy contained in the powder in the bullet (Hint: you will need to calculate the recoil speed of the gun.) A. 2455 J B. 620 J C. Cannot be determined. D. 1230 J

Answer:

The answer is

D. 1230j

Explanation:

When a bullet is shot out of a gun the person firing experiences a backward impact, which is the recoil force, while the force propelling the bullet out of the gun is the propulsive force

given data

Mass of gun M=10kg

Mass of bullet m=20g----kg=20/1000 =0.02kg

Propulsive speed of bullet = 350m/s

Hence the moment of the bullet will be equal and opposite to that of the gun

mv=MV

where V is the recoil velocity which we are solving for

V=mv/M

V=0.02*350/10

V=7/10

V=0.7m/s

The energy contained in the bullet can be gotten using

KE=1/2m(v-V)²

KE=1/2*0.02(350-0.7)²

KE=1/2*0.02(349.3)²

KE=1/2*0.02*122010.49

KE=1/2*2440.20

KE=1220.1J

roughly the energy is 1230J

Answer:

The cup with 0.5L

Explanation:

To know what amount of water you take into account the specific heat of the water. The specific heat of water is:

c_{water}=4186\frac{J}{kg\°C}

Thus, 4186 J of energy are needed to icrease the temperature of 1 kg water in 1°C. Then, more grams of water will need more energy.

You have that one cup has 0.5 L and the other one has 750mL = 0.75L

The second cup of water will need more heat because the amount of water contained in the second cup is greater than in the first cup with 0.5L

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

<h2> r=mv/Be</h2>

Explanation:

If a positive charge enters a magnetic field at 90 degrees the charge is deflected in a circular path by a force that acts perpendicular to it in line with Flemings right-hand rule

to derive the radius of the path of the charge we apply

F= mv^2/r=Bev

where

m= mass of the electronic charge

e=charge

B=magnetic field

v=average speed

r=radius

 

rearranging we have

r=mv^2/Bev

r=mv/Be
