Q. a gun of mass M fires a bullet of mass M/n.if the energy of the bullet is E,then the energy spent in firing the bullet is ?
ans: (1+1/n)E
please help!!!
Approved Tutor Answer15 Years agoLet p be momentum of bullet; p2 =2(M/n)E, therefore p=√(2(M/n)E). from law of conservation of momentum, this is equal to momentum og gun(P). therefore, P= √(2Me),(e is energy of gun), p = P implies= √(2(M/n)E) = =√(2Me). therefore e=E/n
therefore total energy = energies of gun+bullet = E+(E/n) =(1+ (1/n))E

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless
horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to
each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same
radius and mass m is placed over the void created by
the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls
kept on the floor to each other if the system remains
in equilibrium.
