Emily uses a rifle to shoot a bullet at a target. The bullet has a mass of 13 grams. The rifle has a mass of 3,500 grams. When s

he shoots, the bullet accelerates 850 m/s2. According to Newton’s third law of motion, the bullet is exerting the same force on the rifle. Why doesn’t the rifle accelerate 850 m/s2?

Force exerted by the bullet = mass * acceleration = 0.013 * 850 = 11.05 Newtons.

the rifle exerts same force in opposite direction so we have

11.05 = 3.5 * a
acceleration = 11.05 / 3.5 =  3.16 m /s^-2

Imagine that the ball on the left is given a nonzero initial velocity in the horizontal direction, while the ball on the right c
masya89 [10]

Answer:

vₓ = xg/2y

Explanation:

In this question, let us  find the time it takes for the ball on the right that has zero initial velocity to reach the ground.

By newton equation of motion we know that

y = v₀ t - ½ g t²

t = 2y / g

This is the time it takes for the ball on the right to reach the ground; at this time the ball on the left travels a distance

vₓ = x/t

vₓ = xg/2y

vₓ = xg/2y

Where we assume that x and y are known.
