The expanding gases that leave the muzzle of a rifle also contribute to the recoil. A .30 caliber bullet has mass 7.20×10−3 kg and a speed of 601 m/s relative to the muzzle when fired from a rifle that has mass 3.10 kg . The loosely held rifle recoils at a speed of 2.15 m/s relative to the earth.

Find the momentum of the propellant gases in a coordinate system attached to the earth as they leave the muzzle of the rifle.

The expanding gases that leave the muzzle of a rifle also contribute to the recoil. A .30 caliber bullet has mass 7.20×10−3 kg and a speed of 601 m/s relative to the muzzle when fired from a rifle that has mass 2.80 kg . The loosely held rifle recoils at a speed of 1.95 m/s relative to the earth. A.Find the momentum of the propellant gases in a coordinate system attached to the earth as they leave the muzzle of...

You fire a rifle of mass 4 kg such that it is free to recoil. The bullet has a mass 28 g and travels horizontally with a speed of 373 m/s relative to the ground. What is the recoil speed (m/s) of the rifle immediately after firing? Don't round during the calculation, keep at least two decimal places.

A 30-06 caliber hunting rifle fires a bullet of mass 0.0149 kg with a velocity of 430 m/s to the right. The rifle has a mass of 4.9 kg. a) What is the recoil speed of the rifle as the bullet leaves the rifle? Answer in units of m/s. b) If the rifle is stopped by the hunter’s shoulder in a distance of 1.38 cm, what is the mag- nitude of the average force exerted on the shoulder by the...

A bullet of mass 20g is fired from a rifle of mass 4kg into a sandbag of mass 10kg. It takes 1.53 seconds for the bullet to strike and become embedded in the sandbag. The sandbag’s velocity increases from rest to 1.7 m/s when struck by the bullet. The rifle recoils and is brought to rest by the firer's shoulder in a distance of 30mm. Assume the bullet travels in a straight line and air resistance is negligible. Calculate: i)...

A horizontal rifle is lined up with and fired at bulls-eye target. The muzzle speed of the bullet is 680 m/s. The barrel is pointed directly at the center of the bulls-eye, but strikes the target 0.02 m below the center. a) What is the bullet's inital velocity in the y-direction? b) How long does the bullet take to reach the target ? c) What is the horizontal distance between the end of the rifle and the bulls-eye? d) What...

A 0.026-kg bullet is accelerated from rest to a speed of 565 m/s in a 3.2-kg rifle. The pain of the rifle’s kick is much worse if you hold the gun loosely a few centimeters from your shoulder rather than holding it tightly against your shoulder. For this problem, use a coordinate system in which the bullet is moving in the positive direction. a. Calculate the recoil velocity of the rifle if it is held loosely away from the shoulder....

7. Consider a rifle, which has a mass of 2.44 kg and a bullet which has a mass of 150 grams and is loaded in the firing chamber. When the rifle is fired the bullet leaves the rifle with a muzzle velocity of 440 m/s; a. What will be the momentum of the rifle immediately before the bullet is fired? b. What will be the momentum of the rifle-bullet combination before the bullet is fired? c. What will be the...

Agent Arlene devised the following method of measuring the muzzle velocity of a rifle (the figure below). She fires a bullet into a 4.032-kg wooden block resting on a smooth surface, and attached to a spring of spring constant k = 160.2 N/m . The bullet, whose mass is 7.870 g, remains embedded in the wooden block. She measures the maximum distance that the block compresses the spring to be 9.460 cm . What is the speed v of the...

You have an internship working for the National Park Service. They start you off in the laboratory which tests possible new equipment. Your first job is to test a small cannon used to prevent avalanches in populated areas by shooting down heavy snow concentrations. You want to find out the velocity of the projectile as it leaves the cannon (muzzle speed) so that the range and trajectory of the cannon can be determined. The cannon you are testing weighs 260...
