Given data:

bullet mass (m) = 25 g = 0.025 kg,

gun mass (M) = 0.9 kg,

bullet speed (v) = 230 m/s,

gun speed (V) =?

From the information, it is evident that momentum is conserved. Following the "law of conservation of momentum", the overall momentum pre- and post-collision is equal.

For this instance, the momentum prior to the collision (bullet + gun) is zero.

Thus, after the bullet is fired from the gun, the momentum must remain zero.

Mathematically,

M × V + m × v = 0

           where,

                     M × V = momentum of the gun

                     m × v = momentum of the bullet

            (0. 9 × V) + (0.025 × 230) = 0

             0.9 V = -5.75

                    V = -5.75/0.9

                        = -6.39 m/s  

The gun recoils at a speed of 6.39 m/s

A spinning wheel is slowed down by a brake, giving it a constant angular acceleration of 25.60 rad/s2. During a 4.20-s time inte
Yuliya22 [2446]

We will use the equations of rotational kinematics,

\theta =\theta _{0} + \omega_{0} t+ \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2             (A)

\omega^2= \omega^2_{0} +2\alpha\theta                                     (B)                                          

Here, \theta and \theta _{0} denote the final and initial angular displacements, respectively, whereas \omega and \omega_{0} represent final and initial angular velocities, and \alpha is the angular acceleration.

We are provided with \alpha = - 25.60 \ rad/s^2, \theta = 62.4 \ rad and t = 4.20 \ s.

By substituting these values into equation (A), we have

62.4 \ rad = 0 + \omega_{0} 4.20 \ s + \frac{1}{2} (- 25.60 \ rad/s^2) ( 4.20)^2 \\\\ \omega_{0} = \frac{220.5+ 62.4 }{4.20} =67.4 \ rad/s

Now, using equation (B),

\omega^2=(67.4 \ rad/s)^2 + 2 (- 25.60 \ rad/s^2)62.4 \ rad \\\\\ \omega = 36.7 \ rad/s

This indicates that the wheel's angular speed at the 4.20-second mark is 36.7 rad/s.

A solid metal sphere of diameter D is spinning in a gravity-free region of space with an angular velocity of ωi. The sphere is s
ValentinkaMS [2433]

Answer:

0.6

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere is \frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{D}{2})^3

Thus \pi * r^2 * (\frac{D}{2} ) = \frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{D}{2})^3

The radius of the disk is 1.15(\frac{ D}{2} )

Applying angular momentum conservation;

The M_i of the sphere = \frac{2}{5} m \frac{D}{2}^2

M_i of the disk = m*\frac{ \frac{1.15*D}{2}^2 }{2}

\frac{wd}{ws} = \frac{\frac{2}{5}m * \frac{D}{2}^2}{ m * \frac{(\frac{`.`5*D}{2})^2 }{2} }

= 0.6

A 5.8 × 104-watt elevator motor can lift a total weight of 2.1 × 104 newtons with a maximum constant speed of
Keith_Richards [2268]
Power is defined as the speed at which work is performed on an object. Like all rates, power is measured in relation to time. It reflects how quickly a task is completed. Two identical tasks can be executed at varying speeds - one slower and the other faster. The equation P = Fv can be used, where P symbolizes power, F denotes force, and V represents average velocity. Calculating the average velocity gives us V = P/F, or V = (5.8 x 10^4 W) / (2.1 x 10^4 N), resulting in V = 2.8 m/s.

An electrical short cuts off all power to a submersible diving vehicle when it is a distance of 28 m below the surface of the oc
Ostrovityanka [2214]

Answer:

F=126339.5N

Explanation:

To compute the force required to escape, a free-body diagram for the hatch must be drawn. We will equate the downward and upward forces, thus applying the following equation:

Fw=W+Fi+F

where

Fw=   force or weight exerted by the water column above the submarine.

To calculate Fw, we can use:

Fw=h. γ. A

h=height

γ= specific weight of seawater = 10074N / m ^ 3

A=Area

Fw=28x10074x0.7=197467N

w represents the hatch weight = 200N

Fi denotes the internal pressure force in the submarine, which is 1 atm = 101325Pa. We can calculate this force using:

Fi=PA=101325x0.7=70927.5N

Finally, the force needed to open the hatch is determined by the original equation:

Fw=W+Fi+F

F=Fw-W+Fi

F=197467N-200N-70927.5N

F=126339.5N
