|| A rifle shoots a 4.20 g bullet out of its barrel. The bullet has a muzzle velocity of 965 m/s jus: as it leaves the barrel. Assuming a constant horizontal acceleration over a distance of 45.0 cm starting from rest, with no friction between the bullet and the barrel, (a) what force does the rifle exert on the bullet while it is in the barrel? (b) Draw a free-body diagram of the bullet (i) while it is in the barrel and (ii) just after it has left the barrel (c) How many g’s of acceleration does the rifle give this bullet? (d) For how long a time is the bullet in the barrel?

Determine the force Rwhich the elevator floor exerts on her feet and the lifting force L which she exerts on the package during the acceleration interval. If the elevator support cables suddenly and completely fail, what values would R and L acquire? 8kg 0.29g 55kg Answers: While accelerating.

You've both been taking physics, so she asks what you think the coefficient of friction between the sled and the snow is. You've been walking at a steady 1.5 m/s, and the rope pulls up on the sled at a 30° angle. You estimate that the mass of the sled, with your friend on it, is 60 kg and that you're pulling with a force of 75 N. What answer will you give?arrow_forward
