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 runner is jogging in a straight line at a
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

13 km

Explanation:

The bird flies from the runner, to the finish line, and back to the runner.  We can write two equations for the distance it travels:

d = 7.8 km + 7.8 km − 4.9 km/hr × t

d = 24.5 km/hr × t

Solve for t in the second equation and substitute into the first:

t = d / 24.5

d = 7.8 + 7.8 − 4.9 (d / 24.5)

d = 15.6 − 0.2 d

1.2 d = 15.6

d = 13

The bird flies a cumulative distance of 13 km.
