In principle, when you fire a rifle, the recoil should push you backward. How big a push will it give? Let’s find out by doing a calculation in a very artificial situation. Suppose a man standing on frictionless ice fires a rifle horizontally. The mass of the man together with the rifle is 70 kg, and the mass of the bullet is 10 g. If the bullet leaves the muzzle at a speed of 500 m/s, what is the final speed of the man? Given your result, do you expect to be pushed backward when you fire a rifle?
A mass m1 = 10.5 kg, with initial velocity V0 = 12.5 m/s, strikes a mass-spring system m2 = 7.25 kg, initially at rest but able to recoil. Assume the spring is massless and the surface horizontal and frictionless. See the figure below. If the collision is completely elastic, what are the final speeds V1 and V2 of m1 and m2, respectively?
In a ballistic pendulum experiment, a small marble is fired into a cup attached to the end of a pendulum. If the mass of the marble is 0.0235 kg and the mass of the pendulum is 0.250 kg, how high ℎ will the pendulum swing if the marble has an initial speed of 5.95 m/s? Assume that the mass of the pendulum is concentrated at its end so that linear momentum is conserved during this collision.
A cannon of mass 5.12 x 10^3 kg is rigidly bolted to the earth so it can recoil only by a negligible amount. The cannon fires a 81.1-kg shell horizontally with an initial velocity of 549 m/s. Suppose the cannon is then unbolted from the earth, and no external force hinders its recoil. What would be the velocity of a shell fired from this loose cannon?
A 5-kg disc A is connected to a pin at O by an extensible cord of length 2.00 m. The disc is resting on a smooth horizontal surface at position 1 when it is given a velocity in the direction as shown. The disc moves with this speed until the cord becomes taut at position 2. What is the magnitude of the maximum allowable speed v0 if the impulse exerted by the cord onto the disc must not exceed 10 N-s?
