Answer:

Because Kinetic Energy(KE) is not the same as Momentum(P)

Kinetic Energy is a scalar(has magnitude only). For a body of mass M, velocity V:

KE = 0.5MV^2

The units of KE: Joules.

Energy is the ability to do work.

Momentum is not a form of energy.

Momentum is a vector(has magnitude and direction).

P = MV

Units of momentum: kg m/s

If you have rifles of mass 2, 4, 8, 16 kg, using the same cartridge, with the same load, barrel length(remember momentum of projectile is proportional to velocity), they all have the same recoil momentum.

But the kinetic energy of recoil would be inversely proportional to the mass of the gun.

Thus the 2kg gun(possible even in large powerful calibers due to modern materials like titanium etc), would have 8 times the recoil ENERGY of the 16kg gun.

A lot of confusion exists in America because of retention of old units, namely Foot Pounds(force) for KE, and Pounds(mass) Feet Per Second for Momentum(P). Because of the more awkward momentum units, a lot of old books had a bad habit of calling the momentum units Pounds Feet, leaving out the rest. Naturally this created confusion with Foot Pounds. Multiplication being commutative and all that:).

Remember that the momentum of the rifles is the same. But the ones with the highest recoil energy hurt the most.

Speaking of hurt:

If momentum killed, then consider two dinosaur killer asteroids with the same masses and velocities, striking vertically at the same time antipodal points on the Earth’s surface. Total momentum delivered would be Zero. That would not make us safe at all:)

Similarly, being shot simultaneously at close range from opposite sides with a 5 round burst from each from two M4 assault rifles(by definition must be able to fire full auto) delivered in 0.3 seconds, would deliver zero momentum. But not zero harm.

Also, the recoil momentum of any firearm is equal to the mass of projectile x velocity + mass of propellant x exit velocity of propellant. This is obviously greater, often much greater, depending on range, than the striking momentum of the projectile at the target.

The recoil kinetic energy is vastly less than the kinetic energy of the bullet/projectile. Neglecting propellant contribution:

recoil Momentum = bullet momentum

BUT:

recoil KE/bullet KE = projectile mass/gun mass

This is a very small fraction.

If we consider the M4 carried by American military:

M855(SS109 equivalent) 5.56 bullet of mass 0.004kg(62 grains)is fired from M4 assault rifle of mass, with optic and full mag 4kg, a thousand times as much!

Even allowing for the 0.0015kg powder charge, and the higher velocity of the powder(approx 1400=1500 m/s vs approx 900 m/s muzzle velocity of the bullet), the recoil energy is hundreds of times less than the muzzle energy of the bullet.

That’s why you want to be behind the gun, and not in front.

I am confused. Magnetic flux linkage and magnetic flux don't have the same definition, but they have same units. But there formu
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

magnetic flux linkage includes number of turns, N while magnetic flux has no N

Since number of turns are not significant to units, they become similar.

What would the weight of an astronaut be on Neptune if his mass is 68 kg and acceleration of gravity of Neptune is 11.15 m/s^2?
Dima020 [189]
Weight = Mass of object * Gravity of experimented place
Here, m = 68 Kg
g' = 11.15 m/s²

Substitute their values, 
w = 68 * 11.15
w = 758.2 N

In short, Your Answer would be 758.2 Newtons 

Hope this helps!

Velocity and acceleration are both vectors; they have a direction. What is thedirection of the velocity and acceleration vectors
just olya [345]

Answer:

d. Both A & C

Explanation:

- The velocity of the ball is a vector, whose magnitude indicates its rate of change of position, and it has a direction. In this case, the ball is moving upward, therefore the direction of motion is upward, so the direction of the velocity is upward as well.

- The acceleration of the ball is a vector, whose magnitude indicates the rate of change of the velocity. The direction of the acceleration is:

-- positive if the the magnitude of the velocity is increasing

-- negative if the magnitude of the velocity is decreasing

For a ball thrown upward, the acceleration is given by the acceleration of gravity, g=9.8 m/s^2. This acceleration points downward, and it is constant during the entire motion. In particular, it does not change direction, as it is always directed downward. Therefore, the acceleration of the ball is downward.

So, the correct answer is

d.Both A & C

Since A and C are both true:

a.The velocity vector is directed upward.

c.The acceleration is directed downward.
