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

Un avión tarda en llegar a su destino 12 horas. Si recorrió una distancia de 10.700 kilómetros. Calcular su velocidad y expesarl
elixir [45]

Given that,

Distance, d = 10700 km

Time taken by the airplane to complete the destination, t = 12 hours

We need to find the speed of the airplane. It is equal to the total distance covered divided by total time taken. So,

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{10700\ km}{12\ h}\\\\v=891.66\ km/h

We know that,

1 km = 1000 m

1 h = 3600 s

So,

v=891.66\ km/h =\dfrac{891.66\times 1000\ m}{3600\ s}\\\\v=247.68\ m/s

So, the speed of the airplane is 891.66 km/h or 247.68 m/s.

3) A tolley of mass 4kg, moving with a velocity
Leokris [45]

Answer:

3.57 m/s

Explanation:

The sum of the 2 momentums Is equal the finale momentums. so if momentums Is q, v Is velocity and m Is Mass, q3=m1*v1+m2**v2=16+9=25 m*kg/s

q3=m3*v3

v3=q3/m3=25/(4+3)=3.57m/s
