A gun recoils back when the bullet is fired due to conservation of momentum. Conservation of momentum suggest that - the net change of momentum in a closed system must be zero.

Therefore in equation form -

mv - mu  = 0

A flare is dropped from an airplane flying horizontally at uniform velocity (constant speed in a straight line). Neglecting air
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Option B (remain vertically under the plane) is the correct option.

Explanation:

  • A flare would follow a particle trajectory with horizontal direction somewhat like airplane velocity as well as initial maximum motion as null but instead, gravity will induce acceleration. It would be lowered vertically underneath the plane before flare had already sunk to something like the surface.
  • There is no different movement in the airplane nor even the flash. And none of them can change its horizontal level.  

Some other alternatives are given really aren't linked to the specified scenario. So choice B is the perfect solution to that.

New stars form from ?
allsm [11]
Stars form from an accumulation of gas and dust, which collapses due to gravity and starts to form stars. The process of star formation takes around a million years from the time the initial gas cloud starts to collapse until the star is created and shines like the sun

What describes Newton’s law of universal gravitation
VikaD [51]

Newton's law of universal gravitation gives the gravitational force between two objects:

F = GMm/r²

F = gravitational force, G = gravitational constant, M & m are the masses of the two objects, r = distance between the objects

A 310-g air track cart is traveling at 1.25 m/s and a 260-g cart traveling in the opposite direction at 1.33 m/s. What is the sp
UNO [17]

Answer:

v_{CM}=0.0732\ m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the cart 1, m₁ = 310 g

speed of car 1 , v₁ = 1.25 m/s

mass of cart 2, m₂ = 260 g

speed of cart 2, v₂ = -1.33 m/s

speed of center of mass

v_{CM}=\dfrac{m_1v_1 + m_2 v_2}{m_1 + m_2}

v_{CM}=\dfrac{0.31\times 1.25 +0.26\times (-1.33)}{0.31+0.26}

v_{CM}=\dfrac{0.0417}{0.57}

v_{CM}=0.0732\ m/s

Hence, speed of center of mass of the system is equal to 0.0732 m/s
