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

lana [24]

Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

You are missing the chart with the rates and time to do this, however, I wll do it with a similar exercise here, and you only need to replace the procedure with your data:

See the attached table.

From the left we have:

r = 1/2 (50 + 48 + 46 + 44 + 42 + 40) = 135 L/min

From the right we have:

r = 1/2 (48 + 46 +44 + 42 + 40 + 38) = 129 L/min.

And this should be the correct answer. Watch your chart and replace if it's neccesary.

What is the frequency of a photon of emr with a wavelength of 2.55x10-3m?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

f = 1.18 x 10¹¹ Hz

Explanation:

The equation used to find frequency is:

f = c / w

In this form, "f" represents the frequency (Hz), "c" represents the speed of light (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s), and "w" represents the wavelength (m).

Since you have been given the value of the constant (c) and wavelength, you can substitute these values into the equation to find frequency.

f = c / w                                                      <---- Formula

f = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / w                                 <---- Plug 3.0 x 10⁸ in "c"

f = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (2.55 x 10⁻³ m)            <---- Plug 2.55 x 10⁻³ in "w"

f = 1.18 x 10¹¹ Hz                                         <---- Divide

What is the difference between a good conductor and a good insulator?
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot.

Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them.

Most atoms hold on to their electrons tightly and are insulators.
