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

Do rolling down a grassy hill has kinetic energy or potential energy
Ann [662]

If you're moving, then you have kinetic energy.

If you're not at the bottom yet, then you still have
some potential energy left.

Two pieces of amber are hung from threads. Piece A is charged by rubbing piece A with fur. Piece B is charged by rubbing piece B
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

ieces A and B must also have the same type of charges

Explanation:

In electrostatics, charges of the same sign repel and charges of different signs attract.

If we apply this to our case, we have that part A and C repel each other, therefore they have the same type of charge.

Also part A and C repel each other, therefore they have the same type of charge.

If we use the transitive property of mathematics, pieces A and B must also have the same type of charges

What are found in nucleus and atoms?
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The nucleus of an atom contains the majority of the atom’s mass, and is composed of protons and neutrons, which are collectively referred to as nucleons. The much-lighter electrons orbit their atom’s nucleus. The Protons. Protons are positively charged particles found in an atom’s nucleus.
