Answer:

conservative

Explanation:

Nonconservative force is the force that depends on a path, however conservative does not depend on a path and it is not associated with the potential energy. When the work is done by an unconservative force, mechanical energy is added or removed. Friction is the best example for a non-conservative force. When these non-conservative forces are acting, the mechanical energy changes but these are not preserved.

hope this helped!

Answer: conservative

Explanation:

A conservative force is not path-dependent and does not change the overall mechanical energy of an object.

A conservative force is a force with the property that the total work done in moving a particle between two points is independent of the taken path, e.g. gravitational force or electric force.

A nonconservative force is one for which work depends on the path taken, e.g. frictional force.

In principle, when you fire a rifle, the recoil should push you backward. How big a push will it give? Let’s find out by doing a

mixer [17]

Answer:

0.07142 m/s in the opposite direction of the bullet

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of rifle = 70 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of bullet = 0.01 kg

$v_1$ = Velocity of rifle

$v_2$ = Velocity of bullet = 500 m/s

As the momentum of the system is conserved

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=0\\\Rightarrow v_1=-\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1}\\\Rightarrow v_1=-\frac{0.01\times 500}{70}\\\Rightarrow v_1=-0.07142\ m/s$

The recoil velocity of the rifle is -0.07142 m/s

The negative sign shows the opposite direction of the rifle.

ASK YOUR TEACHER A meter stick is found to balance at the 49.7-cm mark when placed on a fulcrum. When a 51.5-gram mass is attach

Simora [160]

Answer:

0.114 kg or 114 g

Explanation:

From the diagram attaches,

Taking the moment about the fulcrum,

sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment.

Wd = W'd'

Where W = weight of the mass, W' = weight of the meter rule, d = distance of the mass from the fulcrum, d' = distance of the meter rule.

make W' the subject of the equation

W' = Wd/d'................ Equation 1

Given: W = mg = 0.0515(9.8) = 0.5047 N, d = (39.2-16) = 23.2 cm, d' = (49.7-39.2) = 10.5 cm

Substitute these values into equation 1

W' = 0.5047(23.2)/10.5

W' = 1.115 N.

But,

m' = W'/g

m' = 1.115/9.8

m' = 0.114 kg

m' = 114 g

A cyclist is riding his bike up a mountain trail. When he starts up the trail , he is going 8 m/s. As the trail gets steeper, he

Mrac [35]

Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)

Our cyclist's change in speed = (3 m/s) - (8 m/s) = -5 m/s

Acceleration = (-5 m/s) / (60 seconds)

<em>Acceleration = -1/12 m/s²</em>
