Answer:

0.27 m/s and 0.01 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of the bullet, m = 3 g = 0.003 kg

Velocity of the bullet, v = 230 m/s

Weight of the rifle, w = 25 N

From this, we know that the mass of the rifle, M = 25/9.8 = 2.55 kg

Using the law of conservation of momentum, we know that

Momentum of the gun = momentum of the bullet

M.g * V.g = m.b * v.b

2.55 * V.g = 0.003 * 230

2.55V.g = 0.69

V.g = 0.69 / 2.55

V.g = 0.27 m/s

If weight of the shooter = 650, then his mass = 650/9.8 = 66.33 kg

The recoil speed of the shooter is

0.69 / 66.33 = 0.010 m/s

An apple in a tree has a gravitational store of 8J. As it falls, it accelerates constantly until it hits the ground. What is the
natita [175]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that on the tree the gravitational energy stored is 8J

Then, mgh = 8J.

The apple begins to fall and hit the ground, what is the maximum kinetic energy?

Using conservation of energy, as the above is about to hit the ground, the apple is at is maximum speed, and the height then is 0m, so the potential energy at the ground is zero, so all the potential of the apple at the too of the tree is converted to kinetic energy as it is about to hits the ground. Along the way to the ground, both the Kinetic energy and potential energy is conserved, it is notice that at the top of the tree, the apple has only potential energy since velocity is zero at top, and at the bottom of the tree the apple has only kinetic energy since potential energy is zero(height=0)

So,

K.E(max) = 8J

A 0.01-kg object is initially sliding at 9.0 m/s. It goes up a ramp (increasing its elevation by 1.5 m), and then moves horizont
barxatty [35]

Answer:

During this motion, 0.133 J of heat energy was created

Explanation:

Hi there!

Let´s calculate the energy of the object in each phase of the motion.

At first, the object has only kinetic energy (KE):

KE = 1/2 · m · v²

Where:

m = mass of the object.

v = velocity.

KE = 1/2 · 0.01 kg · (9 m/s)²

KE = 0.405 J

When the object goes up the ramp, it gains some gravitational potential energy (PE). Due to the conservation of energy, the object must convert some of its kinetic energy to obtain potential energy. By calculating the potential energy that the object acquires, we can know the loss of kinetic energy:

PE = m · g · h

Where:

m = mass of the object.

g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s²)

h = height.

PE = 0.01 kg · 9.81 m/s² · 1.5 m

PE = 0.147 J

The object "gives up" 0.147 J of kinetic energy to be converted into potential energy.

Then, after going up the ramp, the kinetic energy of the object will be:

0.405 J - 0.147 J = 0.258 J

When the object reaches the spring, kinetic energy is used to compress the spring and the object obtains elastic potential energy (EPE). Let´s calculate the EPE obtained by the object:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = compression of the spring

EPE = 1/2 · 100 N/m · (0.05 m)² = 0.125 J

Then, only 0.125 J of kinetic energy was converted into elastic potential energy. The object is at rest at the end of the motion, i.e., the object does not have kinetic energy when it compresses the spring by 5.0 cm. Since energy can´t be lost, the rest of the kinetic energy, that was not used to compress the spring, had to be converted into heat energy:

Heat energy = initial kinetic energy - obtained elastic potential energy

Heat energy = 0.258 J - 0.125 J = 0.133 J

During this motion, 0.133 J of heat energy was created.

A sound wave travels through water. What best describes the direction of the water particles?
balu736 [363]

Answer:

In water, the particles are much closer together, and they can quickly transmit vibration energy from one particle to the next.

A water wave is an example of a transverse wave. As water particles move up and down, the water wave itself appears to move to the right or left.
