Many people are familiar with the fact that a rifle recoils when fired. this recoil is the result of action - reaction force pairs. a gunpowder explosion creates hot gases that expand outward allowing the rifle to push forward on the bullet. consistent with newton's third law of motion, the bullet pushes backwards upon the rifle. the acceleration of the recoiling rifle a) greater than the acceleration of the bullet. b) two times greater than the acceleration of the bullet. c) the same size as the acceleration of the bullet. d) smaller than the acceleration of the bullet.

Arigid tank is divided into two equal parts by a partition. one part of the tank contains 3 kg of compressed liquid water at 400 kpa and 60°c while the other part is evacuated. the partition is now removed, and the water expands to fill the entire tank. determine the entropy change of water during this process, if the final pressure in the tank is 40 kpa. use steam tables.

Assume that two of the electrons at the negative terminal have attached themselves to a nearby neutral atom. there is now a negative ion with a charge -2e at this terminal. what are the electric potential and electric potential energy of the negative ion relative to the electron? the electric potential and the electric potential energy are both twice as much. the electric potential is twice as much and the electric potential energy is the same. the electric potential is the same and the electric potential energy is twice as much. the electric potential and the electric potential energy are both the same. the electric potential is the same and the electric potential energy is increased by the mass ratio of the oxygen ion to the electron. the electric potential is twice as much and the electric potential energy is increased by the mass ratio of the oxygen ion to the electron.

Awelder using a tank of volume 7.50×10^-2 m^3 fills it with oxygen (with a molar mass of 32.0 g/mol ) at a gauge pressure of 3.30×10^5 pa and temperature of 37.1 ∘c. the tank has a small leak, and in time some of the oxygen leaks out. on a day when the temperature is 23.1 ∘c, the gauge pressure of the oxygen in the tank is 2.00×10^5 pa . a) find the initial mass of oxygen. b) find the mass of oxygen that has leaked out.
