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

Calculate the wavelengths of the first five members of the Lyman series of spectral lines, providing the result in units Angstro
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for hydrogen atomic  spectrum is as follows

energy of photon due to transition from higher orbit n₂ to n₁

E=13.6 (\frac{1}{n_1^2 } - \frac{1}{n_2^2})eV

For layman series n₁ = 1 and n₂ = 2 , 3 , 4 ,   ...   etc

energy of first line

E_1=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{2 ^2})

10.2 eV

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 10.2 = 1213.2 A

energy of 2 nd line

E_2=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{3 ^2})

= 12.08 eV

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 12.08 = 1024.4 A

energy of third line

E_3=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{4 ^2})

12.75 e V

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 12.75 = 970.6 A

energy of fourth line

E_4=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{5 ^2})

= 13.056 eV

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 13.05 = 948.3 A

energy of fifth line

E_5=13.6 (\frac{1}{1^2 } - \frac{1}{6 ^2})

13.22 eV

wavelength of photon = 12375 / 13.22 = 936.1 A

A soccer player kicks a 0.44 kg ball with a force of 57.6 N, what is the ball’s acceleration
noname [10]

THE BALL'S ACCELERATION IS 130.90\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law "the force (F) acting on an object is equal to the mass (m) of an object times its acceleration (a)", meaning that when the soccer player kicks a ball, a force is acting on the ball, therefore increasing it's acceleration

SO FOR CALCULATING THIS WE WILL USE NEWTON LAW,

   FORCE = MASS × ACCELERATION

WE ARE GIVEN

FORCE = 57.6N

MASS= .44KG

SO HERE WE APPLYING FORMULA ,WE WILL GET

ACCELERATION = \frac{FORCE}{MASS}

ACCELERATION = \frac{57.6N}{.44KG}

ACCELERATION =130.90\frac{m}{s}
