### Problem StatementA rifle with a weight of **25 N** fires a **5.5 g** bullet with a speed of **230 m/s**.#### (a) Find the recoil speed of the rifle.\[ \boxed{ \ \ }\ m/s \]#### (b) If a **650-N** man holds the rifle firmly against his shoulder, find the recoil speed of the man and rifle.\[ \boxed{ \ \ }\ m/s \]### Explanation:The problem involves the concept of conservation of momentum. When the rifle fires the bullet, the momentum gained by the bullet will be equal to the momentum lost by the rifle (or the rifle-man system in part (b)). This is an application of Newton's third law: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.1. **Recoil Speed of the Rifle:** - Compute the recoil speed using the conservation of momentum. 2. **Recoil Speed of the Man and Rifle:** - Consider the combined mass of the man and the rifle while applying the conservation of momentum to find the recoil speed.Both computations involve setting the momentum before firing (initially zero) equal to the momentum after firing and solving for the unknown speed.

A 33.7-g rifle bullet traveling 205. m/s buries itself in a 2.97-kg pendulum hanging on a 2.67-m-long string, which makes the pendulum swing upward in an arc. Determine how high (in m) the pendulum swings above its original position.
A 4.00 g bullet travelling horizontally with a magnitude of 440 m/s is tired into a wooden block with a mass of 0.80 kg intitially st rest on a level surface. The bullet passes through the block and emerges with its speed reduced to 160 m/s. What is the speed of the block just after the bullet has passed through the block? - 14 m/s - 1.4 m/s - 3.0 m/s - 12 m/s
A bullet of mass m = 8.00 g is fired into a block of mass M = 240 a that is initially at rest at the edge of a table of height h = 1.00 m (see figure below). The bullet remains in the block, and after the impact the block lands d = 1.50 m from the bottom of the table. Determine the initial speed of the bullet. Use the given information to find the velocity of the block after collision with the bullet and then use conservation of momentum to find the initial speed of the bullet. m/s Need Help?

An outlaw cuts loose a wagon with two boxes of gold, of total mass 300 kg, when the wagon is at rest 50 m up a 6.0° slope. The outlaw plans to have the wagon roll down the slope and across the level ground, and then fall into a canyon where his accomplices wait. But in a tree 40 m from the canyon’s cliff wait the Lone Ranger (mass 75.0 kg) and Tonto (mass 60.0 kg). They drop vertically into the wagon as it passes beneath them (Fig.). (a) If they require 5.0 s to grab the gold and jump out, will they make it before the wagon goes over the cliff? The wagon rolls with negligible friction. (b) When the two heroes drop into the wagon, is the kinetic energy of the system of heroes plus wagon conserved? If not, does it increase or decrease, and by how much?
