physics
if the forces that act on a bullet and on the recoiling gun from which it is fired are equal in magnitude, why do the bullet and gun have very different accerlerations

How long does it take for the bullet to go 120 meters? How much does the bullet fall in that time? b) tanTheta=falling distance/120

physics
If the block moves 5.50 cm, the kinetic energy of the block, after the bullet passes through, is K.E. = (1/2) k X^2 = 430*(0.055)^2 = 1.30 J = (1/2) M V^2 If M and V are the block's mass and velocity, M V = sqrt (2*M*K.E.) = 1.14 kg m/s That equals the momentum lost by the...

mechanics - physics
Force * distance = Work done by bullet = Initial kinetic energy of the bullet Solve for the force F = M*V^2/(2*X) = 3*10^-3*(500)^2/(2*0.2) Newtons = 1875 N

How did gangsters like Bonnie and Clyde and Al Capone escape from the police before bullet proofing their cars? And how did the bullet proof cars help them?

Physics Angular Momentum
Initial angular momentum of bullet around axis of wheel = I w = m r^2 w = m r v = .00483 * .148 * 330 = .2359 Final angular momentum of bullet around axis of wheel = .00483 * .148 * 201 = .1437 change in angular momentum of bullet = .2359 - .1437 = .0922 that is the angular ...

physics
A lead bullet with a mass of 0.05 kg traveling at 188 m/s strikes an armor plate and comes to a stop. If all the energy is converted to heat and absorbed by the bullet, what is the temperature change?

a bullet being shot? Or a bullet hitting a steel plate and ricocheting backwards? Or and electron gun shooing electrons to the screen? I think I would compute the acceleration on those, and compare.

Physics
A rifle has a mass of 4.73 kg and it fires a bullet of mass 13.6 g at a muzzle speed of 829 m/s. What is the recoil speed of the rifle as the bullet leaves the gun barrel? So far, I've got (using p for momentum) p=p, so massXchange in velocity of the bullet will will equal...

AP Physics
Use the law of conservation of angular momentum, measured about the vertical axis. Initially, the rod has no angular momentum but the bullet has angular momentum m V (L/2) cos 60 about that axis. Afterwards, the rod with embedded bullet has moment of inertia I = (1/12)ML^2 + m...

physics
A bullet of mass m = 5.89 g is fired into a block of mass M = 3.09 kg that is initially at rest on the edge of a smooth table. (The table top is 0.83 m above the floor.) The bullet ends up stuck in the block, and together they fly off the table and fall to the floor. If the ...
