A 4.00 g bullet has a muzzle velocity of 230 m/s when fired by a rifle with a weight of 40.0 N. (a) Determine the recoil speed (in m/s) of the rifle. Choose a sign convention and see if you can write a statement of conservation of momentum that will allow you to determine the desired quantity. Don't forget that you have been given the weight rather than the mass of the rifle. m/s (b) If a marksman with a weight of 775 N holds the rifle firmly against his shoulder, determine the recoil speed (in m/s) of the shooter and rifle. Your approach to part (a) will also work for part (b). The only difference is that the mass of the marksman must now be included. m/s

A squid with an initial mass of 5.15 kg is initially at rest when it ejects 0.275 kg of fluid with a velocity of 7.5 m/s. Part (a) What is the recoil velocity, in meters per second, of the squid if the ejection is done in 0.12 s and there is a 5.15-N frictional force upposing the squid's movement? Use a coordinate system in which the ink is moving in the positive direction. Part (b) What is the difference in kinetic energy, in joules, between the case when there is no friction and the case where there is friction? Ejost
You have just planted a sturdy 2-m-tall palm tree in your front lawn for your mother’s birthday. Your brother kicks a 500g ball, which hits the top of the tree at a speed of 5 m/s and stays in contact with it for 10 ms. The ball falls to the ground near the base of the tree and the recoil of the tree is minimal. (a) What is the force on the tree? (b) The length of the sturdy section of the root is only 20 cm. Furthermore, the soil around the roots is loose and we can assume that an effective force is applied at the tip of the 20 cm length. What is the effective force exerted by the end of the tip of the root to keep the tree from toppling? Assume the tree will be uprooted rather than bend. (c) What could you have done to ensure that the tree does not uproot easily?
