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

A fisherman is fishing from a bridge and is using a "44.0-N test line." In other words, the line will sustain a maximum force of
vitfil [10]

Answer:

a) 4.485 kg b) 3.94 kg

Explanation:

since the maximum tension the line can stand is 44 N and for question a the speed is constant (acceleration must be zero since the velocity or speed is not changing), F(tension) = mass * acceleration due to gravity (g) .

44 = m * 9.81m/s^2

m = 44/9.81 = 4.485kg

b) F(tension) = ma + mg ( where a is the acceleration of the body and g is the acceleration of the gravity)

44 = m (a +g)

44 = m (1.37 + 9.81)

44/11.18 = m

m = 3.94 kg

Which is an example of reflection
Elena-2011 [213]

Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves. The law of reflection says that for specular reflection the angle at which the wave is incident on the surface equals the angle at which it is reflected. Mirrors exhibit specular reflection.

Lincoln weighs 400 newtons. What’s his mass rounded to the nearest kilogram? Assume that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 N/kg
Yanka [14]
Weight equals mass times gravitational acceleration=400N, so mass=400/9.8=41kg approx.

Answer:

Places like cities

Explanation:

Cities have more necessities when it comes to technology like live TV, technology companies, electric companies, homes in cities for things like the TV, AC, more luxurious stuff, and I can't even list more because there are so many technological reasons they use, well, technology.

It all comes down to logic and thinking.
