A hunter fires a rifle while seated with the butt of the gun resting against their shoulder. If the forward momentum is the same

as the backward momentum of the gun, why isn't it as dangerous to be hit by the gun as it is by the bullet

6 0

Answer:

Because the bullet is smaller and has a sharp/pointy tip.

Explanation:

The bullet kinda puts the majority of kinetic energy in a small are, whereas the gun butt kinda spreads the energy evenly amongst a larger surface. If more explanation is needed add comment.

An object dropped on Planet P falls 144 m in 6 seconds. What is the gravitational acceleration of Planet P ? Gravitational accel
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The gravitational acceleration of the planet is, g = 8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data,

The distance the object falls, s = 144 m

The time taken by the object is, t = 6 s

Using the III equations of motion

                  S = ut + ½ gt²

∴                 g = 2S/t²

Substituting the given values,

                   g = 2 x 144 /6²

                      = 8 m/s²

Hence, the gravitational acceleration of the planet is, g = 8 m/s²

Consider a variety of colors of visible light (say 400 nm to 700 nm) falling onto a pair of slits.
babymother [125]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relationship between angle and wavelength for maxima and minima in Young's double slit experiment is given by

For constructive interference

d\sin \theta =m\lambda

For Destructive interference

d\sin \theta =(m+\frac{1}{2})\lambda

where \lambda =wavelength

d=slit\ width

m=order of maxima and minima

for second order maxima i.e. m=2

For smallest separation taking \lambda =400 nm, \theta =90^{\circ}

d\sin 90=2\times 400\times 10^{-9}

d=0.8\times 10^{-6}

d=0.8\mu m

at certain times the demand for electric energy is low and electric energy is used to pump water to a reservoir 45 m above the g
Readme [11.4K]

The mass of water that must be raised is 5.25\cdot 10^7 kg

Explanation:

Since the process is 70% efficiency, the power in output to the turbine can be written as

P_{out} = 0.70 P_{in}

where P_{in} is the power in input.

The power in input can be written as

P_{in} = \frac{W}{t}

where

W is the work done in lifting the water

t = 3 h = 10,800 s is the time elapsed

The work done in lifting the water is given by

W=mgh

where

m is the mass of water

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h = 45 m is the height at which the water is lifted

Combining the three equations together, we get:

P_{out} = 0.70 \frac{mgh}{t}

Where

P_{out} = 150 MW = 150\cdot 10^6 W

And solving for m, we find:

m=\frac{Pt}{0.70gh}=\frac{(1.50\cdot 10^6)(10800)}{(0.70)(9.8)(45)}=5.25\cdot 10^7 kg

TRUE or FALSE: During a collision between objects of different mass, there is a greater force applied to the less massive object
ddd [48]
If they are moving at the same speed then it would be true because the larger object would have more mass and would have more momentum then the smaller object that has less mass! Hope this helps!
