After checking some of the other threads figured that 1200kg x V = 8 kg x 600 m/s but that puts V at 4 m/s am I going in the right direction Also is this 4 m/s in relation with the 600 m/s what if I needed to solve for the bullet and the gun in relation to the Earth instead f the gun?

Homework Statement A 1200 kg gun mounted on wheels shoots an 8.00 kg projectile with a muzzle velocity of 600 m/s at an angle of 30.0 degrees above the horizontal. Find the horizontal recoil speed of the gun. Homework Equations F = ma The Attempt at a Solution I can not find...

I see where you are coming from with the torques and the force in the rotations but I do not understand where the r = 1 and r = 2 come into play and also the book does not give me the formulas I need to understand how to work the problem. These books have been hard to follow but am able to get...

I have the drawing of the two men and the center of mass of the board between the two men is 710 N so I see that the one man is more of a fulcrum than the other as he has the mass of .6m of the board and 200 N hanging off the end and .4 m to the center of the boards mass in the book it says that...

Yes that is the section of the book I am in is rotational motion and understand the rest of thed questions and we have the answers in the back of the book but am not sure where they are going with this one problem

Homework Statement Two men are carrying a board that is 2 m long and 71 kg mass. Man one is at the end of board mand 2 is 0.6 m from other end and hanging from the end is and object which has a force of 200 N. What are the forces on the two men? Homework Equations Also says to draw a...
