A 0.0250-kg bullet is accelerated from rest to a speed of 550 m/s in a 3.00-kg rifle. The pain of the rifle’s kick is much worse

if you hold the gun loosely a few centimeters from your shoulder rather than holding it tightly against your shoulder. (a) Calculate the recoil velocity of the rifle if it is held loosely away from the shoulder. (b) How much kinetic energy does the rifle gain? (c) What is the recoil velocity if the rifle is held tightly against the shoulder, making the effective mass 28.0 kg? (d) How much kinetic energy is transferred to the rifleshoulder combination? The pain is related to the amount of kinetic energy, which is significantly less in this latter situation. (e) Calculate the momentum of a 110-kg football player running at 8.00 m/s. Compare the player’s momentum with the momentum of a hard-thrown 0.410-kg football that has a speed of 25.0 m/s. Discuss its relationship to this problem.

Answer:

(a) 4.58 m/s

(b) 31.5 J

(c) 0.491 m/s

(d) 0.362 J

(e) Momentum of player = 880 kg m/s

Momentum of ball = 10.3 kg m/s

Explanation:

(a) By Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite.

The momentum action of bullet = (0.0250 kg)(550 m/s)

The momentum reaction of rifle = (3.00 kg)(v m/s)

Hence,

(0.0250 kg)(550 m/s) = (3.00 kg)(v m/s)

v =(0.0250 kg)(550 m/s)/(3.00 kg) = 4.58 m/s

(b) Kinetic energy = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}\times3.00\text{ kg}\times (4.58\text{ m/s})^2 = 31.5\text{ J}

(c) If the effective mass of the rifle is now 28.0 kg, then it's recoil speed is

v =(0.0250 kg)(550 m/s)/(28.0 kg) = 0.491 m/s

(d) With the new effective mass, kinetic energy is

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}\times3.00\text{ kg}\times (0.491\text{ m/s})^2 = 0.362\text{ J}

(e) The momentum of the player =(110 kg)(8.00 m/s) = 880 kg m/s

Momentum of ball = (0.41 kg)(25.0 m/s) = 10.3 kg m/s

The momentum of the bullet in the question is = (0.0250 kg)(550 m/s) = 13.8 kg m/s.

This momentum is much smaller than that of the player. Hence, an object or body will feel more 'pain' or impact when hit by the running player than by the bullet.

The impact of the bullet is only slightly more than that of the thrown ball.

Which statement is true for light passing into a medium that is less optically dense than the first medium through which it pass
BigorU [14]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The index of refraction of the second medium is lower

Explanation:

The index of refraction of a material indicates the magnitude of the optical density of a material. The index of refraction or the refractive index, n, are indices (ratio) of the speed of light through an optically dense medium relative to the speed of light through a vacuum.

The definition of the refractive index is the number of times light travelling through a medium would be slower than light travelling through vacuum

Therefore, the index of refraction of a second medium that is less optically dense than a first medium from which light originates and travels through it would be lower than the index of refraction of the first medium

A fixed coil of wire with 10 turns and an area of 0.055 m2 is placed in a perpendicular magnetic field. This field oscillates in
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Part a)

Average EMF for half cycle is

E_{avg} = 2.64 V

Part b)

For one complete cycle we will have

E_{avg} = 0

Part c)

Maximum induced EMF will be at

t = 0.025 s and 0.075 s

minimum induced EMF is at

t = 0.05s and 0.1 s

Explanation:

As we know that magnetic field is oscillating in direction as well as magnitude

so induced EMF is given as

E = NBA\omega sin(\omega t)

Part a)

For average value of EMF from positive maximum to negative maximum which is equal to half cycle

so we have

E_{avg} = NBA\omega \frac{2}{T}\int_0^{T/2} sin(\omega t) dt

E_{avg} = \frac{2NBA\omega}{\pi}

E_{avg} = \frac{2(10)(0.12)(0.055)(2\pi (10))}{\pi}

E_{avg} = 2.64 V

Part b)

For one complete cycle we will have

E_{avg} = NBA\omega \frac{1}{T}\int_0^T sin(\omega t) dt

E_{avg} = 0

Part c)

Maximum induced EMF will be at

t = \frac{T}{4} and \frac{3T}{4}

here we know

T = \frac{1}{f} = 0.1 s

t = 0.025 s and 0.075 s

minimum induced EMF is at

t = \frac{T}{2} and T

so it is

t = 0.05s and 0.1 s

A cube of mass m1=9.6 kgm1=9.6 kg is sitting on top of a second cube of the same size and mass m2=0.8 kgm2=0.8 kg while both are
GalinKa [24]

Answer:N=0

Explanation:

Given

m_1=9.6 kg

m_2=0.8 kg

both blocks experiencing free fall so net weight of block during free fall is zero thus there is no normal reaction between them.

N=0
