Answer:

The target was higher than the cannon

Explanation:

Given that a cannon ball is launched with initial speed 56 m/s, and hits a target at speed 35 m/s.

The initial velocity must be 56 m/s, while the final velocity will be 35 m/s.

When an object is thrown upward with an initial velocity, the object continues to move upwards with decreasing in magnitude of velocity till it reaches the maximum height where the final velocity will be equal to zero.

In this question, since the final velocity is less than the initial velocity, we can conclude that the target is higher.

Therefore, the target was higher than the cannon.

A 5.0-kg bar of lead is placed inside a 12-L chamber filled with helium gas. The temperature of the lead and helium is the same.

Pavlova-9 [17]

As the temperature of the lead and helium is the same. Thus the average kinetic energy is also the same for lead and helium.

Reason:

It is given that a 5.0-kg bar of lead is placed inside a 12-L chamber filled with helium gas. The temperature of the lead and helium is the same. It is required to compare the average kinetic energy of the lead atoms and helium atoms.

The average kinetic energy is calculated as, $K=\frac{3}{2} \frac{R}{N} T$ .
