A hunter on a frozen, essentially frictionless pond uses a rifle that shoots 4.20g bullets at 965m/s. the mass of the hunter (in

cluding his gun) is 72.5kg, and the hunter holds tight to the gun after firing it. find the recoil velocity if he fires the velocity horizontally. enter as positive. find the recoil velocity if he first the rifle at 56.0° above the horizontal. enter as positive.

When the gun is fired horizontally :

m = mass of each bullet = 4.20 g = 0.0042 kg

v = velocity of the bullet after fire = 965 m/s

M = mass of the hunter including gun  = 72.5 kg

V = velocity of hunter including gun after fire = ?

V' = velocity of the combination of bullet , gun and hunter before fire = 0 m/s

Using conservation of momentum

m v + M V = (m + M) V'

(0.0042) (965) + (72.5) V = (0.0042 + 72.5) (0)

V = - 0.056 m/s

so recoil velocity comes out to be 0.056 m/s



When the gun is fired at angle 56.0⁰ above the horizontal :

m = mass of each bullet = 4.20 g = 0.0042 kg

v = velocity of the bullet after fire = 965 Cos56 = 539.62 m/s

M = mass of the hunter including gun  = 72.5 kg

V = velocity of hunter including gun after fire = ?

V' = velocity of the combination of bullet , gun and hunter before fire = 0 m/s

Using conservation of momentum

m v + M V = (m + M) V'

(0.0042) (539.62) + (72.5) V = (0.0042 + 72.5) (0)

V = - 0.031 m/s

so recoil velocity comes out to be 0.031 m/s

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A different type of habitat exists in the caves. There exist no green plants/producers but still various life forms evolve with in the caves. The major source of nutrients with in the caves is water and intrusion of other organism that led to deposition of food in the form of debris/guano etc. These food deposits are intake by the organisms living in caves leading to start of  food cycle. This is very much similar to any other food cycle

Which of the following is correct concerning the uncontrolled burn phase?
beks73 [17]

The option that is the correct one concerning the uncontrolled burn phase is:

  • The uncontrolled burn phase is characterized by uncontrolled combustion in a cylinder until fuel accumulated during ignition delay is burned.

<h3>What is uncontrolled combustion?</h3>

Uncontrolled Combustion is known to be the the time and place in which a kind of an ignition will stop and it is said to be never  fixed by anything in regards to the compression ignition engine as seen in SI engines.

Note that the four Stages of combustion  are:

1.     Pre-flame combustion

2.     Uncontrolled combustion

3.     Controlled combustion and

4.     After burning

Hence, The uncontrolled burn phase is characterized by uncontrolled combustion in a cylinder until fuel accumulated during ignition delay is burned as all the fuel need to burn out.

Suppose that the weight (in pounds) of an airplane is a linear function of the amount of fuel (in gallons) in its tank. When car
Inessa [10]

Answer:

W=2219pounds

Explanation:

If the weight  is a linear function of the amount of fuel, the following correlation is fulfilled :

\frac{2153pounds-1999pounds}{46gallons-18gallons} = \frac{W-1999pounds}{58gallons-18galons}

we solve the equation:

W=2219pounds
