A pirate 50.0 m away from a tall ship wants to shoot the crow’s nest off this ship. She angles her cannon at 250 and fires; her

cannonball leaving at only 68 m/s. Somehow, the lass pegs the crow’s nest. How high was the crow’s nest?

Answer:

20.1 m

Explanation:

First, find the time it takes for the cannonball to travel the horizontal distance of 50.0 m.

Given (in the x direction):

Δx = 50.0 m

v₀ = 68 cos 25° m/s

a = 0 m/s²

Find: t

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

(50.0 m) = (68 cos 25° m/s) t + ½ (0 m/s²) t²

t = 0.811 s

Now find the vertical displacement after that time.

Given (in the y direction):

v₀ = 68 sin 25° m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

t = 0.811 s

Find: Δy

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δy = (68 sin 25°) (0.811 s) + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) (0.811 s)²

Δy = 20.1 m

A curved line going up indicates the object is
Vesna [10]

Explanation:

Both graphs show plotted points forming a curved line. Curved lines have changing slope; they may start with a very small slope and begin curving sharply (either upwards or downwards) towards a large slope. In either case, the curved line of changing slope is a sign of accelerated motion (i.e., changing velocity).

The greater the mass is in an object, the higher resistance to a change in movement the object will have.
Bond [772]
True. Since Inertia states this law, we are bound to believe greater mass = greater resistance in change of motion

Energy is the ability to do work. True or false
Blababa [14]
Work can be defined as the energy transferred from a body to its sorroundings, the energy spent to move a body, or the energy you need to alter a charged particle, so no energy, no work; thus, the statement is true.

The diagram shows a ballistic pendulum. A 200 g bullet is fired into the suspended 4 kg block of wood and remains embedded insid
adoni [48]

Question

What was the initial momentum of the bullet before collision?

Answer:

10 Kg.m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is a product of velocity of an object in m/s and its mass in kgs hence numerically expressed as p=mv where p is momentum, v is velocity and m is mass. Substituting m for 0.2 kg and v for 50 m/s then p=0.2*50=10 kg.m/s
