A cannon is mounted on a tower above a wide, level field. The barrel of the cannon is 20 m above the ground below. A cannonball

is fired horizontally with an initial speed of 700 m/s. Assuming air resistance can be neglected, approximately how long will the cannonball be in flight before it hits the ground?

<u>Answer:</u>

  Cannonball will be in flight before it hits the ground for 2.02 seconds

<u>Explanation:</u>

  Initial height from ground = 20 meter.

  We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

  In this the velocity of body in vertical direction = 0 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2, we need to calculate time when s = 20 meter.

  Substituting

         20=0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ t = 2.02 seconds

  So it will take 2.02 seconds to reach ground.

A 0.050 kg bullet strikes a 5.0 kg wooden block with a velocity of 909 m/s and embeds itself in the block which fies off its sta
serg [7]

Answer:

The final velocity of the bullet is 9 m/s.

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a bullet is, m = 0.05 kg

Mass of wooden block is, M = 5 kg

Initial speed of bullet, v = 909 m/s

The bullet embeds itself in the block which flies off its stand. Let V is the final velocity of the bullet. The this case, momentum of the system remains conserved. So,

mv=(m+M)V\\\\V=\dfrac{mv}{m+M}\\\\V=\dfrac{0.05\times 909}{0.050+5}\\\\V=9\ m/s

So, the final velocity of the bullet is 9 m/s.

In a semiclassical model of the hydrogen atom, the electron orbits the proton at a distance of 0.053 nm. Part A What is the elec
Bezzdna [24]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

r=0.053 nm=0.053\times 10^{-9} m

1 nm=10^{-9} m

Charge on proton,q=1.6\times 10^{-19} C

a.We have to find the electric  potential of the proton at the position of the electron.

We know that the electric potential

V=\frac{kq}{r}

Where k=9\times 10^9

V=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.053\times 10^{-9}}

V=27.17 V

B.Potential energy of electron,U=\frac{kq_e q_p}{r}

Where

q_e=-1.6\times 10^{-19} c=Charge on electron

q_p=q=1.6\times 10^{-19} C=Charge on proton

Using the formula

U=\frac{9\times 10^9\times (-1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{0.053\times 10^{-9}}

U=-4.35\times 10^{-18} J

A rocket in deep space has an exhaust-gas speed of 2000 m/s. When the rocket is fully loaded, the mass of the fuel is five times
notka56 [123]

Answer:

 v_{f} = 1,386 m / s

Explanation:

Rocket propulsion is a moment process that described by the expression

       v_{f} - v₀ =  v_{r} ln (M₀ / Mf)

Where v are the velocities, final, initial and relative and M the masses

The data they give are the relative velocity (see = 2000 m / s) and the initial mass the mass of the loaded rocket (M₀ = 5Mf)

We consider that the rocket starts from rest (v₀ = 0)

At the time of burning half of the fuel the mass ratio is that the current mass is    

       M = 2.5 Mf

       v_{f} - 0 = 2000 ln (5Mf / 2.5 Mf) = 2000 ln 2

       v_{f} = 1,386 m / s

Racing greyhounds are capable of rounding corners at very high speeds. A typical greyhound track has turns that are 45-m-diamete
Margarita [4]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of the semicircle, d = 45 m

Radius of the semicircle, r = 22.5 m      

Speed of greyhound, v = 15 m/s

The greyhound is moving under the action of centripetal acceleration. Its formula is given by :

a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}

a=\dfrac{(15)^2}{22.5}

a=10\ m/s^2

We know that, g=9.8\ m/s^2

a=\dfrac{10\times g}{9.8}

a=1.02\ g

Hence, this is the required solution.
