Answer:

v = 0.76 [m/s]

Explanation:

The linear momentum generated by the shot must be calculated. This can be calculated using the following expression.

P=m*v\\

where:

P = linear momentum [kg*m/s]

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

P=0.004*380\\P=1.52[kg*m/s]

Now we can calculate the recoil velocity, because the momentum is equal for the rifle.

P=m*v\\v = P/m\\v = 1.52/2\\v = 0.76[m/s]

What are the three longest wavelengths for standing waves on a 240-cm-long string that is fixed at both ends?
Irina18 [472]
For a standing wave if both ends are fixed, the wavelength must be such that the length of the string be an exact multiple of a half wavelength.
The longest wavelength must be such that the length of the string must be equal to half a wavelength, and therefore the wavelength must be double the length of the string; That is 240× 2 = 480 cm
The second longest wavelength must be such that the length of the string must be equal to a whole wavelength, so the second longest wavelength must be 240 cm.
The third longest wavelength must be such that the length of the string must be equal to 1.5 times the wavelength, so the wavelength must be 240/1.5 = 160 cm.

Which describes the type of image formed by a plane mirror?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

It is a copy of an object and appears to be coming from behind the mirror.

Explanation:

  1. The plane mirror has a flat surface, where of its surface is polished to reflect the light.
  2. The plane mirror shows the image as the same size of the object.
  3. The image produced by the plane mirror is virtual and erect.
  4. But the orientation of the image formed changes the left and right.
  5. Hence,the image appears to be coming from behind the mirror.

What do repeated trails in an experiment allow scientists to do?
fredd [130]

Answer:

Explanation:

When we do multiple trials of the same experiment, we can make sure that our results are consistent and not altered by random events. Multiple trials can be done at one time. If we were testing a new fertilizer, we could test it on lots of individual plants at the same time.

Problem 6.13 The point of this question is to compare rest energy and kinetic energy at high speeds. An alpha particle (a helium
Kryger [21]

Answer: E = 5.76×10^-10 J

Explanation: rest energy formula is given below as

E = mc²

m = mass of object = 6.40×10^-27 kg

c = speed of light = 3×10^8 m/s

E = 6.40×10^-27 × (3×10^8)²

E = 6.40×10^-27 × 9×10^16

E = 57.6 ×10^-11

E = 5.76×10^-10 J
