Answer:small barrel gun

Explanation:

Given

Muzzle velocity of bullet is greater in short barrel gun as compared to larger barrel gun

acceleration is given by change in velocity with respect to time

a=\dfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

In case of short barrel bullet time taken by bullet to reach its muzzle velocity is less therefore acceleration of small barrel bullet is more compared to long barrel bullet.

a 59kg physics student jumps off the back of her laser sailboat (42kg). after she jumps the laser is found to be travelling at 1
evablogger [386]

From the conservation of linear momentum of closed system,

Initial momentum = final momentum

Mass of the student, M = 59 kg

Mass of the laser boat, m = 42 kg

Initial speed of student + laser boat, u =0

Final speed of laser boat, v = 1.5 m/s

Final speed of the student = V

(M+m) u =M V +m v

0 = (59 kg) V + (42 kg) (1.5m/s)

V = - 1.06 m/s

Thus, the speed of the student is 1.06 m/s in the opposite direction of the motion of boat.

A test car carrying a crash test dummy accelerates from 0 to 30 m/s and then crashes into a brick wall. Describe the direction o
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

the direction of acceleration of the vehicle is the same direction of its velocity of car

s acceleration has the opposite direction to the car speed.

Explanation:

The initial acceleration of the car can be calculated with

          v = v₀ + a t

          a = (v-v₀) t

       

indicate that the initial velocity is zero (v₀ = 0 m / s)

         a = v / t

         a = 300 / t

the direction of acceleration of the vehicle is the same direction of its acceleration movement.

When the car collides with the wall, it exerts a force in the opposite direction that stops the vehicle, therefore this acceleration has the opposite direction to the car speed. But your module must be much larger since the distance traveled to stop is small
