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

Debora [2.8K]3 years ago
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.

If you push twice as hard against a stationary brick wall, the amount of work you do
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

The work done on an object is given by:

W=Fd cos \theta

where

F is the force applied on the object

d is the displacement of the object

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement

In this problem, you are pushing again a stationary wall: this means that the walls does not move. As a result, the displacement is zero: d=0. Therefore, the work done is also zero: W=0.

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

9.66 x 10^-6 m

Explanation:

Use the Wein's displacement law

\lambda _{m}\times T = b

Where, b is the Wein's constant

b =  2.898 x 10^-3 meter-kelvin

So, λm x 300 =  2.898 x 10^-3

λm = 9.66 x 10^-6 m

Select the correct answer. Five marbles roll down a ramp. Each marble reaches the bottom of the ramp at a speed of 3 meters/seco
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Kinetic energy = (1/2) * mass * velocity

Marble 1 = (1/2) * 10 * 3 = 15 Joules

Marble 2 = 30 J

Marble 3 = 37.5 J

Marble 4 = 60 J

Marble 5 = 45 J


Marble 4 has the most kinetic energy - D.
