During World War I, Germany used a "Big Bertha" cannon to hurl shells into Paris 30 miles away. This gun also had a long barrel.

What is the reason for using a long barrel in these guns? ANSWER: During World War I, Germany used a "Big Bertha" cannon to hurl shells into Paris 30 miles away. This gun also had a long barrel. What is the reason for using a long barrel in these guns?
a. To reduce the force exerted on the bullet due to the expanding gases from the gunpowder.
b. To reduce frictional losses.
c. To increase the force exerted on the bullet due to the expanding gases from the gunpowder.
d. To allow the force of the expanding gases from the gunpowder to act for a longer time.
e. To provide a larger ratio of kinetic energy to potential energy.

When a Lunar Module landed on the Moon, it used thrusters to slow its descent to the surface. When other spacecraft are returned
katen-ka-za [31]
They had to use thrust because there is no air on the moon meaning that parachutes would be totally useless because parachutes require air to create drag. Fun fact since there is no air on the lunar surface sound waves cannot be made since there are no air molecules for the waves to pass through, so that's why they use radio's in space.

you weight 650 N. What would you wieght if the Earth were four times as massive as it is and its raduis were three times its pre
LiRa [457]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept given by the law of gravitational attraction, which properly defines gravity under the function

g = \frac{GM}{r^2}

Here,

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of Earth

r = Distance between the human and the center of mass of the Earth

The acceleration due to gravity when is 4 times the mass of Earth and 3 times the radius would be given as,

g_1 = \frac{GM}{r^2}

g_2 = \frac{G(4M)}{(3r)^2}

g_2 = \frac{4GM}{9r^2}

g_2 = \frac{4}{9} g_1

The weight is defined as

W = mg_1

So the new weight would be given as

W' = mg_2

W' = m(\frac{4}{9} g_1 )

W' = \frac{4}{9} mg_1

W' = \frac{4}{9} W

W' = \frac{4}{9}(650)

W' = 288.8N

Therefore the weight under this condition is 288.8N
