Answer:

(a) 0.343 m/s

(b) 0.012 m/s

Explanation:

(a) From the question above,

MV = mv............................... Equation 1

Where M = mass of the rifle, V = recoiling speed of the rifle, m = mass of the bullet, v = velocity of the bullet.

make V the subject of the equation

V = mv/M........................... Equation 2

Given: m = 3.5 g = 0.0035 kg, v = 250 m/s, M = 25 N = 25/9.8 = 2.55 kg.

Substitute into equation 2

V = (0.0035×250)/2.55

V = 0.343 m/s.

(b) Similarly,

(M'+M)V' = mv....................... Equation 3

Where M' = mass of the marksman, V' = recoiling speed of the shooter and rifle

make V' the subject of the equation

V' = mv/(M'+M)................... Equation 4

Given: m = 3.5 g = 0.0035 kg, v = 250 m/s, M = 25 N = 25/9.8 = 2.55 kg, M' = 650 N = 650/9.8 = 66.33 N

Substitute into equation 4

V' = (0.0035×250)/(66.33+2.55)

V' = 0.8125/68.88

V' = 0.012 m/s

A spherical shell contains three charged objects. The first and second objects have a charge of − 14.0 nC and 33.0 nC , respecti
matrenka [14]

Explanation:

Formula depicting relation between total flux and total charge Q is as follows.

              \phi  = \frac{Q}{\epsilon_{o}}    (Gauss's Law)

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

            Q = \phi \times \epsilon_{o}

                = -953 Nm^{2}/C \times 8.854 \times 10^{-12}

                = -8.4 \times 10^{-9} C

                = -8.4 nC

Therefore, when the unknown charge is q  then,

         -14.0 nC + 33.0 nC + q = -8.4 nC

               q = -27.4 nC

Thus, we can conclude that charge on the third object is -27.4 nC.

Written:
zmey [24]

Answer:

0.833

Explanation:

Power = energy / time

Power = force × distance / time

Power = force × velocity

P = (850 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (1.00 m/s)

P = 8330 W

P = 8.33 kW

The efficiency of the motor is therefore:

e = 8.33 kW / 10.0 kW

e = 0.833

Nimfa-mama [501]

When a force applied to a breaker bar the torque can be calculated by multiplying the<u> length of the lever</u> by the tangential component of force on the lever.

<h3>What is torque?</h3>

Torque is the <u>rotating equivalent</u> of force in physics and mechanics. Depending on the subject of study, it is also known as the moment, moment of force, rotating force, or turning effect. It illustrates how a force can cause a change in the body's rotational motion.

Torque is given by the formula :

                          α = r x F ( bold letters represent vector quantities)

The S.I. unit for torque is :  N - m ( Newton - meter)

<h3>How do we define 1 N-m of torque?</h3>

The newton-metre is a torque unit (also known as a moment) in the SI system. The torque produced by a one newton force applied <u>perpendicularly to the end of a one metre long</u> moment arm is known as a newton-metre.
