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 solid block, with a mass of 0.15kg, on a frictionless surface is pushed directly onto a horizontal spring, with a spring const

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

16.1 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

At the beginning, the spring is compressed by x = 35 cm = 0.35 m, and it stores an elastic potential energy given by

$U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2$

where k = 316 N/m is the spring constant. Once the block is released, the spring returns to its natural length and all its elastic potential energy is converted into kinetic energy of the block (which starts moving). This kinetic energy is equal to

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where m = 0.15 kg is the mass of the block and v is its speed.

Since the energy must be conserved, we can equate the initial elastic energy of the spring to the final kinetic energy of the block, and from the equation we obtain we can find the speed of the block:

$\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\v=\sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{(316 N/m)(0.35 m)^2}{0.15 kg}}=16.1 m/s$
