The conservation of momentum states that the total momentum in a system is constant if there is no external force acting on the system. The total momentum in the gun bullet system is 0 so it must stay that way.
The momentum of the bullet is mv = 0.015*500=7.5
The momentum of the gun must be the same to keep the total momentum of the system equal to zero, so we know that p = 7.5 for the gun.
Substituting this in we get:
7.5=3.1x
x=7.5/3.1
x=2.42
So the speed of the gun is 2.4m/s.
Answer:
a = -5.10 m/s^2
her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2
Explanation:
The distance travelled on the rough ice is equal to the width of the rough ice.
distance d = 5.0 m
Initial speed u = 9.2 m/s
Final speed v = 5.8 m/s
The time taken to move through the rough ice can be calculated using the equation of motion;
d = 0.5(u+v)t
time t = 2d/(u+v)
Substituting the given values;
t = 2(5)/(9.2+5.8)
t = 2/3 = 0.66667 second
The acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time;
acceleration a = ∆v/t
a = (v-u)/t
Substituting the values;
a = (5.8-9.2)/0.66667
a = -5.099974500127
a = -5.10 m/s^2
her acceleration on the rough ice is -5.10 m/s^2
The kinetic energy is given by:
We know the mass and the maximum speed, plugging their values in the expression above we have:
Therefore, the answer is d.
The spring scale will read 559 Newton's or 125.7 pounds.
The velocity of the object s calculated as 22.1 m/s.
<h3>What is the speed of the object?</h3>
Given that we can write that;
v^2 = u^2 + 2gh
Now u = 0 m/s because the object was dropped from a height
v^2 = 2gh
v = √2 * 9.8 * 25
v = 22.1 m/s
