A hunter on a frozen, essentially frictionless pond uses a rifle that shoots 4.20 g bullets at 965 m/s. The mass of the hunter (

including his gun) is 72.5 kg, and the hunter holds tight to the gun after firing it. Find the recoil velocity of the hunter if he fires the rifle (a) horizontally and (b) at 56.0∘ above the horizontal.

Answer:

a) V_H=0.056 (-i)m/s

b) V_H=0.031 (-i)m/s

Explanation:

By conservation of the linear momentum:

P_o = P_f

0 = M_H*V_H+m_b*V_b

V_H = m_b/M_H*V_b

When the bullet is shot horizontally V_b = 965m/s

V_H = -0.056m/s

When the bullet is shot at 56.0° above the horizontal,

V_b = 965*[cos(56),sin(56)]m/s=[539.62;800.02]m/s

Since on the y-axis ground will absorb the shock, we only make the calculations on the x-axis:

V_H = -0.031m/s

V_H = -0.056m/s

Car A is 16 kilometers to the west of car B. At noon, Car A begins driving east at a constant speed 4 kilometers/hour, and car B
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

The distance traveled can be found by kinematics equations

x = vt

x(t) = v_At - 16= 4t - 16\\y(t) = v_Bt = 3t\\z(t) = \sqrt{x(t)^2 + y(t)^2} = \sqrt{16t^2 - 128t + 256 + 9t^2} = \sqrt{25t^2 - 128t + 256}

Explanation:

The initial position of Car B is denoted as origin. Car A started at -16 km, and moving right. Car B started at origin and moving up. z is the magnitude of the vector with components x and y.

The relation can be found by pythagorean theorem.

For checking the solution, we can find the positions at t = 4h. Car A is at the origin, and Car B is 12 km north of origin. z = 12.

2. Calculate the slope of the line in your graph of the square of the period of the pendulum vs. length of the string .Galileo f
Alla [95]
The period is given by T=2 \pi  \sqrt{ \frac{l}{g} }
Squaring this gives
4  \pi ^{2}  \frac{l}{g}
Plotting this period as a function of length l gives
T=ml
where the slope, m, is
\frac{4 \pi ^{2} }{g}=4.0243

What is the speed of a wave if the wavelength is 200 m and the period is 20 s?
amid [387]

Wavelength is the distance between 2 crests or 2 troughs in a wave.

Period is the time taken for one wave to be completed. Frequency is the number of waves to pass a particular point in 1 second.

Period and frequency are inversely proportional

to find the speed we have to use the following equation

v = fλ

where v - speed, f - frequency and λ - wavelength

we have been given the period (T) so we have to find frequency (f)

f = 1/T

f = 1 / 20 s = 0.05 s⁻¹

v = 0.05 s⁻¹ x 200 m

v = 10 m/s

the speed of the wave is 10 m/s

Hi! I really need help on these questions, it would be great if you can answer them!
Nikitich [7]

1: Equilibrium

[] When two forces are equal in opposite directions, they are in a state of equilibrium

2: Friction

[] It can be hard to sometimes slide a paper across a table, roll a car across the ground, etc etc. This is because of a force called friction which resists motion

3: Displacement

[] Work is only "done" when the object or surroundings are having movement, or in motion, and this creates displacement

4: Force

[] A force is a push/pull in any direction, this is a simple definition so not much can be added.

5: Inertia

[] Inertia is a force that likes to remain unchanged, or without movement

6: Effort

[] "Meg is holding up weight without movement. She hasn't done any work since it did not move, but is tired. Why?" Effort! She still put in effort even though no "work" happened

7: Work

[] Force times displacement is the equation for work

8: Motion

[] Look back to #3, when there is motion we can tell work is done

Have a nice day!

     I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)
