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>

A block sliding across a level surface has a mass of 2.5 kg and a mechanical energy of 20 joules. What is its velocity?
tia_tia [17]
Hi!

The energy of the block is 4 m/s

To calculate this, you need to use the equation for kinetic energy. The block is sliding (i.e. it's moving). If the object is sliding across a level surface, the only energy it has is kinetic energy, because there is no change in potential energy (which changes with height). So, the mechanical energy will be pure kinetic energy. The equation is the following, derived from the expression for kinetic energy:

v= \sqrt{ \frac{2*Ke}{m}}=\sqrt{ \frac{2*20 (kg*m^{2}*s^{-2}) }{2,5kg}}=4 m/s

Have a nice day!
