Answer:

Conservation of momentum - causes a recoil of cannon frame after launch

Explanation:

- It is simple, we can apply the conservation of momentum on the system. Initial momentum P_i before shooting is zero. Then after you strike the cannon up, the ball will go to the target however for the momentum to be conserved the cannon frame must move backwards with the same momentum with which the cannon ball is launched.

Hence, the recoil of the cannon frame would be large enough to dislodge you off the ground and throw you a few feet back.

Sever21 [200]

Answer:2.89\approx 2.9^{\circ}C/s

Explanation:

Given

Power\left ( P\right )=150 MW

mass of core\left ( m\right )=1.60\times 10^5 kg

Average specific heat \left ( C\right )=0.3349 KJ/kg^{\circ}C

And rate of increase of temperature =\frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}

Now

P=mc\frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}

150\times 10^6=1.60\times 10^5\times 0.3349\times \frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}

Thus \frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}=[tex]\frac{1.60\times 10^5\times 0.3349}{150\times 10^6}

\frac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d} t}=2.89\approx 2.9^{\circ}C/s
