Answer:

8.33 m/s

Explanation:

The formula to apply is that of conservation of linear momentum taking that the this case is a single fire non reciprocating action.

Thus,

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂  where;

m₁ = mass of the shotgun = 3kg

v₁ = recoil velocity of the gun

m₂ = mass of bullet

v₂ = velocity of bullet

Substitute values in the equation as;

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

3*v₁ =0.1*250

3v₁ =25

v₁ =25/3 = 8.33 m/s

<u>The recoil velocity of the gun is 8.33 m/s</u>

What is the difference in electrical potential energy between two places in an electric field?
Ierofanga [76]
The question is poorly worded, and makes it harder for the student to learn the basics of the subject. "Potential Difference" is the difference in electrical potential between two places in an electric field ... not in electrical potential energy.

How can gravitational energy play an important part of my life
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Well, lets say you park your car on the top of a hill, gravitational energy prevents it from the car falling back. Or a snow pack, aka before a potential avalanche. Though gravity cannot keep it safe forever, gravitational energy keeps it from crashing asap. In this case, it gives you time to escape. Altogether, gravitational force keeps the earth in it's atmosphere.

Katyanochek1 [597]
<span>On the ignition switch, the ACC position provides power to electrical equipment including lights, wipers, warning lights and radio, without turning on the engine.
</span>

ACC is an Autonomous cruise control or adaptive cruise control is a system for road vehicles that automatically adjusts the vehicle speed (can increase or decrease the speed) to maintain a safe distance from vehicles ahead. 

There are also many other names of Autonomous cruise control such as active cruise control, intelligent cruise control, or radar cruise control.

A school bus has a mass (including the driver and passengers) of 1.64 times 10^4 kg and is driving north at a speed of 15.2 km/h
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of bus along with travelers travelling in North direction is m_1=1.6\times 10^4 kg

speed of bus towards North v_1=15.2 km/h\approx 4.22\ m/s

mass of bus travelling in South direction is m_2=1.578\times 10^4 kg

speed of bus v_2=12.2 km/h\approx 3.38\ m/s

mass of each Passenger in south moving bus m_0=64.8 kg

Momentum of North moving bus

P_1=m_1\times v_1

P_1=1.6\times 10^4\times 4.22

P_1=6.768\times 10^4 kg-m/s

Momentum with south moving bus

P_2=m_2\times v_2+n\cdot m_0\times v_2

P_2=(1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8 )\cdot 3.38

For total momentum to be towards south

P_2-P_1 should be greater than 0

thus for least value of n

P_2=P_1

(1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8 )\cdot 3.38=6.768\times 10^4

1.578\times 10^4+n\cdot 64.8=2.0023\times 10^4

n=\frac{4243.6686}{64.8}=65.48\approx 66
