A 55kg cannonball is fired out of a 1500kg cannon with an acceleration of 18m/s/s. With what acceleration did the cannon recoil?

1 answer:

8 0

F=ma so (55kg)(18m/s^2)=990N so to find a of cannon we know force of cannon ball = 990N therefore 990N/1500kg=.66m/s^2

Hope this helps you understand the concept of Newtons Second Law of F=ma!!!

Jupiter's satellite Europa orbits Jupiter with a period of 3.55 d at an orbital radius of 6.71 108 m (assume the orbit to be cir

yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

(a)

M = 1.898 x 10^27 kg

(b)

v = 13.74 km/s

Explanation:

Time period, T = 3.55 days = 3.55 x 24 x 3600 second = 306720 s

Radius, r = 6.71 x 10^8 m

G = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

(a) $T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^{3}}{GM}}$

$M=\frac{4\pi ^{2}r^{3}}{GT^{2}}$

$M=\frac{4\times3.14^{2}\times 6.71^{3}\times 10^{24}}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 306720^{2}}$

M = 1.898 x 10^27 kg

(b) Let v be the orbital velocity

$v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}$

$v=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 6.71\times 10^{8}}{306720}$

v = 13739.5 m/s

v = 13.74 km/s

(b) The gravitational field E is given by

$E = \frac{GM}{r^{2}}$

$E = \frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times 1.898\times 10^{27}}{6.71^{2}\times 10^{16}}$

E = 0.28 N/kg

What do you need to calculate the mechanical advantage of a block and tackle

Ira Lisetskai [31]

In a block and tackle, some friction in the pulleys will reduce the mechanical advantage of the machine. To include friction in a calculation of the mechanical advantage of a block and tackle, divide the weight of the object being lifted by the weight necessary to lift it.

Hope this helps

Set local ground level to 700 ft, and record the inches of mercury.

The main way in which an altimeter measures the altitude of an object is by calculating the location's air pressure.

<h3>What is an Altimeter?</h3>

This refers to the instrument that is used to measure the altitude of an object when it is at a fixed level.

Hence, we can see that an altimeter should NOT be confused with a barometer, because although they both measure pressure, a barometer calculates the change in air pressure and elevation based on available weather.

Please note that your question is incomplete so I gave you a general overview to help you get a better understanding of the concept.
