Complete question:

The recoil of a shotgun can be significant. Suppose a 3.6-kg shotgun is held tightly by an arm and shoulder with a combined mass of 15.0 kg. When the gun fires a projectile with a mass of 0.040 kg and a speed of 380 m/s, what is the recoil velocity of the shotgun and arm–shoulder combination?

Answer:

The recoil velocity of the shotgun and arm–shoulder combination is 1.013 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

combined mass of the shotgun and arm–shoulder, m₁ = 15 kg

mass of the projectile, m₂ = 0.04 kg

speed of the projectile, u₂ = 380 m/s

let the recoil velocity of the shotgun and arm–shoulder combination = u₁

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁  +  m₂u₂ = 0

m₁u₁ = - m₂u₂

u_1 = -\frac{m_2u_2}{m_1} \\\\u_1 = - \frac{0.04\times 380}{15} \\\\u_1 =-1.013 \ m/s\\\\u_1 = 1.013 \ m/s \ \ \ in \ opposite \ direction

Therefore, the recoil velocity of the shotgun and arm–shoulder combination is 1.013 m/s

A tub of water is placed in a small room and heat is removed from the room. What will most likely occur if enough heat is remove
NARA [144]

Answer:

(A)The water will freeze.

Explanation:

Heat is the energy that when transferred causes change in temperature. If heat is added to a body by some process the bodies temperature increases and if heat is removed from a body by some process the temperature reduces.

In this case if enough heat is removed from the room the internal movement of the water particles will slow down causing the water to form crystal lattice thus forming ice. So, the water will freeze.

A 6.72 particle moves through a region of space where an electric field of magnitude 1270 N/C points in the positive direction,
Romashka [77]

Answer:

                    v_{y}  = -104 m/s

Explanation:

Using:

Force = electric field * charge

F=e*q

Force = magnitude of charge * velocity * magnetic field * sin tither

F_{x2}= |q|*v*B*sin \alpha

Force on particle due to electric field:

     F_{x1}= E*q = (1270N/C)*(-6.72*10^{-6} ) = -8.53*10^{-3}

Force on particle due to magnetic field:

F_{x2}= |q|*v*B*sin \alpha  = (6.72*10^{-6} )*(1.15)*(sin90)*v = (7.728*10^{-6})*(v)

F_{x2} is in the positive x direction as F_{x1} is in the negative x direction while net force is in the positive x direction.

Magnetic field is in the positive Z direction, net force is in the positive x direction.

According to right hand rule, Force acting on particle is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field and velocity of particle. This would mean the force is along the y-axis. As this is a negatively charged particle, the direction of the velocity of the particle is reversed. Therefore velocity of particle, v, has to be in the negative y direction.

Now,

                    F_{xnet}- F_{x1 } = F_{x2 }

                    (6.13*10^{-3}) - (8.53*10^{-3} ) = (7.728*10^{-6})*(v)

                    v = (F_{xnet}  - F_{x1}) / (F_{x2} )

                        =((6.13*10^{-3} ) - (8.53*10^{-3})) / (7.728*10^{-6})

                       = (- 104.25) m/s

                      v_{y}  = -104 m/s

Mr. and Mrs. miller both have blue eyes. Could any of their children be born with brown eyes? Circle yes or no. What tule or rea
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Generally, darker colors dominate so a person with one brown-eyed gene and one blue-eyed gene will have brown eyes. The only way to present blue eyes is to inherit two copies of the blue-eyed gene. However, brown-eyed parents can pass a recessive blue-eyed gene. Therefore, two brown-eyed partners can birth a blue-eyed baby.
