Answer:

According to the Conservation of Momentum,

Momentum of the gun = momentum of the bullet

M(gun)×V(gun)=m(bullet)×v(bullet)

4kg × V = 0.3kg × 600m/s²

V = (0.3 × 600)/4 = 45 m/s

The recoil velocity on the gun is 45 m/s

<h3>45 m/s is the right answer.</h3>

If you push a crate across a factory floor at constant speed in a constant direction, what is the magnitude of the force of fric

poizon [28]

Answer:

The magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push

Explanation:

Since the crate moves at a constant speed, there is no net acceleration and thus, my push is balanced by the frictional force on the crate. So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.

Let F = push and f = frictional force and f' = net force

F - f = f' since the crate moves at constant speed, acceleration is zero and thus f' = ma = m (0) = 0

So, F - f = 0

Thus, F = f

So, the magnitude of the force of friction equals the magnitude of my push.

Ask Your Teacher Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers throws a perfect football spiral at 6.9 rev/s. The radius of a pro football

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

$a=159.32\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Angular speed of the football spiral, $\omega=6.9\ rev/s=43.35\ rad/s$

Radius of a pro football, r = 8.5 cm = 0.085 m

The velocity is given by :

$v=r\omega$

$v=0.085\times 43.35$

v = 3.68 m/s

The centripetal acceleration is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}$

$a=\dfrac{(3.68)^2}{0.085}$

$a=159.32\ m/s^2$

So, the centripetal acceleration of the laces on the football is $159.32\ m/s^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
