A T-shirt cannon can shoot a 0.085 kg T-shirt at nearly 30 m/s. The T-shirt cannon has a mass of 33 kg. If the initial net momen

Answer:

Approximately 0.077\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} (assuming that external forces on the cannon are negligible.)

Explanation:

If an object of mass m is moving at a velocity of v, the momentum p of that object would be p = m\, v.

Momentum of the t-shirt:

\begin{aligned} p(\text{t-shirt}) &= m(\text{t-shirt}) \, v(\text{t-shirt}) \\ &= 0.085\; {\rm kg} \times 30\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}} \\ &= 2.55 \; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}} \end{aligned}.

If there is no external force (gravity, friction, etc.) on this cannon, the total momentum of this system should be conserved. In other words, if p(\text{cannon}) denote the momentum of this cannon:

p(\text{t-shirt}) + p(\text{cannon}) = 0.

p(\text{cannon}) = -p(\text{t-shirt}) = -2.55\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}.

Rewrite p = m\, v to obtain v = (p / m). Since the mass of this cannon is m(\text{cannon}) = 33\; {\rm kg}, the velocity of this cannon would be:

\begin{aligned} v(\text{cannon}) &= \frac{p(\text{cannon})}{m(\text{cannon})} \\ &= \frac{-2.55\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}}{33\; {\rm kg}} \\ &\approx 0.077\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}}\end{aligned}.

Calculate the energy that 1.5 kg of mass contains
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

4.5(10)^8 joules

Explanation:

Mass–energy equivalence is the principle that says that anything that has mass has an equivalent amount of energy. Converse is also true.

The relation between energy and mass is given by E=mc^2

Here, E denotes energy, m denotes mass and c denotes speed of light

Mass (m)=1.5\,\,kg

Speed of light (c) = 3 × 10^8 m/s

Therefore,

E=1.5(3)(10)^8=4.5(10)^8  joules.

The S.I. unit of energy is joules which is equal to 1\,\,kg\,\,m^2/s^2

A roulette wheel with a 1.0m radius reaches a maximum angular speed of 18 rad/s before it stops 35 revolutions ( 220 rad ) after
Alex17521 [72]
Max ang. speed(u) = 18 rad/s
final ang. speed(v) = 0
ang. displacement(s) = 220 rad

ang. acceleration = (v^2 - u^2)/2s = -18^2 / 2*220 = -0.7364 rad/s^2

v = u +at
0 = 18 - 0.7364t
t = 18/0.7364
t = 24.44 seconds

After watching a show about submarines, Jamil wants to learn more about the oceans. Which question could be answered through sci
Georgia [21]
The best question that could prompt a scientific investigation is: <u>What substances dissolve in ocean water?</u> 

This way the person experimenting can use several variables and make observations. Upon making observations, the person can be able to gather as much data as he can in order to answer the original question that he asked.
