Answer:

The velocity of the gun relative to the ground is 19.66 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the gun, M = 15.0 kg

The mass of the bullet, m = 50 g

The velocity of the train, v = 75 km/h

= 20.83 m/s

The velocity of bullet relative to train, V' = 350 m/s

The velocity of bullet relative to ground, V = 350 + 20

= 370 m/s

According to the law of conservation of momentum,

Mv' + mV' = 0

$v' = -\frac{mV'}{M}$

$v' = -\frac{0.050\times 350}{15}$

= -1.17 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the gun with,

v₀ = V + v'

= 20.83 - 1.17

= 19.66 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the gun relative to the ground is 19.66 m/s

An experiment to measure the speed of light uses an apparatus similar to Fizeau's. The distance between the light source and the

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

$2.88*10^{8} m/s$

Explanation:

The speed of light is given by

$c=\frac {2d}{t}$ and $t=\frac {\theta}{\omega}$ hence

$c=\omega\frac {2d}{\theta}$

Speed of light is given by

$c=900\times 2\pi(\frac {2\times 10}{\frac {2\pi}{2*800}}})=2.88*10^{8} m/s$

How does the sun transfer energy to Earth?

aleksley [76]

Answer:

By electromagnetic waves.

Explanation:

The sun transfers heat to earth via electromagnetic waves in twomajor ways:

$Radiation-$ this is the transfer of energy by invisible electromagnetic ways.

$Convection-$ The radiant sun energy warms the atmosphere and becomes heat energy. This transfer of heat through movement of fluids or usually air is called convection.

You throw a tennis ball (mass 0.0570 kg) vertically upward. It leaves your hand moving at 15.0 m/s. Air resistance cannot be neg

Deffense [45]

Answer:195 J

Explanation:

Given

mass of ball $m=0.0570\ kg$

ball leaves the hand with $u=15\ m/s$

maximum height reached by ball $h=8\ m$

Initial Mechanical energy when ball just leaves the hand

$M.E._1=(P.E.+K.E.)_1$

$M.E._1=(mgh)_1+(\frac{1}{2}mv^2)_1$

considering hand to be datum so h_1=0[/tex]

so Potential energy at ground is zero

$M.E._1=\frac{1}{2}\times m\times (15)^2$

$M.E._1=6.41\ J$

Mechanical Energy at highest point

$(M.E.)_2=(P.E.+K.E.)_2$

at highest Point velocity is zero

$(M.E.)_2=mgh_2+0$

$(M.E.)_2=0.0570\times 9.8\times 8$

$(M.E.)_2=4.46\ J$

Decrease in Mechanical energy

$(M.E.)_1-(M.E.)_2=6.41-4.46$

$(M.E.)_1-(M.E.)_2=1.95\ J$

A space vehicle deploys its re–entry parachute when it's traveling at a vertical velocity of –150 meters/second (negative becaus

dexar [7]

Answer:

$a=5m/s^2$

Explanation:

Aceleration is a change on the velocity of the object in a given time.

For this case: the initial velocity is

$v_{1}=150m/s$

and the final velocity is :

$v_{2}=0 m/s$

so, the change in velocity is:

$\Delta v =v_{2}-v_{1}=0m/s - (-150m/s) = 150 m/s$

and the change in time , according to the problem:

$\Delta t=30s$

So, the aceleration is:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \frac{150m/s}{30s} = 5m/s^2$

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Common Sense

Explanation:

The chick has probably seen other chicks get caught by the Hawk and knows not to go near, or saw a giant bird flying straight towards it and used common sense to identify it as danger and run away. Although if this is for a test or a grade or something, please do not use the answer, it is most likely incorrect. This is honestly my best answer.
