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>

In the figure below the pulley is a solid disk of mass M and radius R with rotational inertia MR 2/2. Two blocks one of mass m a
matrenka [14]
Assuming you are looking for the acceleration a:

1.m_1a = T_1 -m_1g
2.m_2a = m_2g - T_2
where T is the tension and a is the acceleration of the blocks. The acceleration of the two blocks and the acceleration of the pulley must be equal.

The torque on the pulley is given by:
3.\tau = \overrightarrow r \times \overrightarrow F = (T_2 - T_1)R = I\alpha = \frac{1}{2} MR^2 \frac{a}{R}
where I = \frac{1}{2} mR^2 and a = \alpha R.

Combining the three equations:
T_2 - T_1 = \frac{1}{2} Ma \\ m_2g - m_2a -m_1g - m_1a = (m_2-m_1)g - (m_1 + m_2)a = \frac{1}2}Ma \\ \\ a = \frac{(m_2 - m_1)g}{m_1 + m_2 + \frac{1}{2}M }
