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

B. Helium because it is constantly being made in the sun

Explanation:

From the given paragraph, we can conclude that helium is the most common element in a star such as the sun because it is constantly being made.

In the nuclear fusion process that results in the production of helium, hydrogen nuclei are the reactants and helium is the product.

  • since the reactants are constantly being used in the core of the sun, this suggests that the products must be more.
  • The reaction requires a high temperature and pressure to initiate.
  • It is a series of chain reaction that uses a fuel of hydrogen to produce helium.

A young hockey player stands at rest on the ice holding a 1.3-kg helmet. The player tosses the helmet directly in front of him w
navik [9.2K]

Answer

given,

initial speed of hockey player= 0 m/s

mass of the helmet, m = 1.3 Kg

initial speed of the helmet, u = 0 m/s

final speed of the helmet, v = 6 m/s

recoil speed of the hockey player, v' = 0.25 m/s

we need to calculate the mass of the hockey player, M = ?

using conservation of momentum

m u + M u' = M v' + m v

initial speed of ice skater is zero

1.3 x 0 + M x 0 =  M x (-0.25) + 1.3 x 6

negative sign is taken because recoil velocity is in opposite direction

0 = -0.25 M + 7.8

0.25 M = 7.8

M = 31.2 Kg

Hence, the mass of the young hockey player is equal to 31.2 Kg

A distant galaxy is determined to be 150 million light years distant and moving away from us; using the Hubble law determine its
dlinn [17]

Your question kind of petered out there towards the end and you didn't specify
the terms, so I'll pick my own.

The "Hubble Constant" hasn't yet been pinned down precisely, so let's pick a
round number that's in the neighborhood of the last 20 years of measurements:

             <em>70 km per second per megaparsec</em>.

We'll also need to know that 1 parsec = about 3.262 light years.

So the speed of your receding galaxy is

         (Distance in LY) x (1 megaparsec / 3,262,000 LY) x (70 km/sec-mpsc) =

              (150 million) x  (1 / 3,262,000) x (70 km/sec) =

                                 <em>3,219 km/sec  </em>in the direction away from us (rounded)

The kinetic energy K of a moving object varies jointly with its mass m and the square of its velocity v. If an object weighing 4
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

K' = 1777.777  J

Explanation:

Given that

m = 40 kg

v= 15 m/s

K=1000

Given that kinetic energy(K) varies with mass(m) and velocity(v)

 K= C(mv²)

Where

C= Constant

m=mass

v=velocity

When

m = 40 kg ,v= 15 m/s ,K=1000

 K= C(mv²)

1000 = C( 40 x 15²)

C=0.111111

When m = 40 kg and v= 20 m/s

K' = C(mv²)

K= 0.1111 x (40 x 20²)

K' = 1777.777  J
