A 10.0kg gun fires a 0.0200kg with a force of 250.n causing it to accelerate at 12500m/s2. what is the acceleration of the gun?


25.0m/s2

12500m/s2

250.m/s2

5.00m/s2

Respuesta :

The acceleration of the gun will be 25.0 m\s². Option A is correct.

What is acceleration?

The rate of recoil velocity change with respect to time is known as acceleration. According to Newton's second law, the eventual effect of all forces applied to a body is its acceleration.

Given data;

Mass of guns,[tex]\rm m_g = 10 \ kg[/tex]

Mass of the fired object,[tex]\rm M =0.0200 \ kg[/tex]

Force,[tex]\rm F= 250 \ N[/tex]

Acceleration of the mass,[tex]\rm a_m= 12500m/s^2[/tex]

Acceleration of the gun,[tex]\rm a_g=?[/tex]

From Newton's second law;

[tex]\rm \sum F=ma[/tex]

[tex]\rm F_g= (M-m)a_g \\\\ \rm 250= (10-0.200)a_g\\\\ a_g= 25.0 \ m /s^2[/tex]

The acceleration of the gun will be 25.0 m\s².

Hence,option A is correct.
