a cannonball with a mass of 1.0 kilogram is fired horizontally from a 500.- kilogram cannon, initially at rest, on a horizontal,

frictionless surface. The cannonball is acted on by an average force of 8.0x10^3 newtons for 1.0x10^-1 second. (a) What is the magnitude of the average net force acting on the cannon? (b) Determine the acceleration of the cannon ball.

(a) According to Newton’s third law, for every action there is an equal yet opposite reaction. In this case, the cannonball is affected by 8.0x10^3 newtons in one direction. Now the cannon must also be affected by the same amount of net force on the opposite direction.

- 8.0x10^3 Newtons (the negative symbol only shows that it is opposite direction)

 

(b) We solve this using the formula:

F = m a

8.0x10^3 N = (1.0 kg) a

a = 8,000 m/s^2

What is the Physics Primer?
Elza [17]

Answer:

A. a set of mathematically topics that are relevant to introductory physics.

Explanation:

The physics primer is not defined as the online comprehensive mathematics textbooks. It is the set of topics of mathematics which gives students trouble and remember.

Therefore, it is defined as the process of physics problem solving. So, mathematically skills are covered in physics course as a primer related success.

Therefore, it is a set of topics of mathematics that are relevent to introductory physics.

Two speakers, A and B, produce identical sound waves. A listener is 3.2 m away from speaker A. The listener finds the lowest fre
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

  0.83 m or 5.57 m

Explanation:

Destructive interference will occur when the distances from the speakers differ by 1/2 wavelength.

The length of 1 cycle of 72.4 Hz is ...

  λ = v/f = (343 m/s)/(72.4 Hz) ≈ 4.738 m

So, the distance of the listener from speaker B is ...

  3.2 m ± (4.738 m)/2 = {0.83 m, 5.57 m} . . . either of these distances

_____

The location could be at additional multiples of 4.738 m, but we think not. The sound intensity drops off with the square of the distance from the speaker, so identical sound waves from the speakers will sound quite different at different distances from the speakers. For best interference, the distances need to be as close to the same as possible. That will be at 3.2 m and 5.57 m.

_____

<em>Comment on the speed of sound</em>

We don't know what speed you are to use for the speed of sound. We have used 343 m/s. Some sources use 340 m/s, which will give a result different by 2 or 3 cm.
