We know that the ball traveled with an initial velocity of 40m/s at a 30° angle above the horizontal. The image below shows how much of this velocity was upward velocity and how much was horizontal velocity. Upward velocity was 20 m/s and horizontal velocity was √(40) m/s, or 2√(10) m/s. We get these numbers from the ratios of the 30-60-90 triangle. 

a) What is the flight time of the cannonball?
The flight time of the cannonball can be found by finding the time at which the upward velocity equals zero (the top of the ball's trajectory) and then finding how long it took to hit the ground after that point.

To find where upward velocity equals zero:
V = Vi - a(t) ,  where V equals vertical velocity, Vi equals initial vertical velocity, and a equals acceleration due to gravity (-9.8 m/s²)
V = 20 - 9.8(t)          Set V equal to zero, because we want to find the moment when the ball reached the peak of its travel path
0 = 20 -9.8t         Add 20 to both sides, then divide by 9.8
t = 2.041
This is the point where the ball was at the top of its trajectory.

At this point, How high was the ball?
d = Vi x t + (1/2) (a) (t²) , where d is distance traveled
d = 20(2.041) + (1/2) (-9.8) (2.041²)
d = 20.388
Remember that the ball was launched from 25 m above the ground, so add 25 to the height that the ball traveled from this point:
25 + 20.388 = 45.388
This was the height the ball reached before it started to come down. Plug this into the distance formula to see how long it took to hit the ground. Remember that this is similar to the ball being dropped from rest from this height, since vertical velocity was zero.
45.388 = (0)(t) - (1/2) (-9.8) (t²)    Multiply both sides by (-2/-9.8)
9.26 = t²
t = 3.043
We know that it took 2.041 seconds to reach the peak height, and 3.043 seconds to come down. 
Total flight time = 2.041 + 3.043 = 5.084 seconds

Remember that, neglecting air resistance, the ball will maintain the same horizontal velocity the entire time. This means the horizontal velocity was 10√2 during the entire flight time.
distance = velocity * time = 5.084 * 10√2 = 32.154

Find the net charge of a system consisting of 206 electrons and 161 protons. Express your answer using two significant figures.
kondaur [170]

Answer:

-72\times 10^{-19}C[/tex]

Explanation:

Both electron and proton have the same amount of charge but signs are opposite , electron contains negative charge and proton contain positive charge

Charge on 1 electron = -1.6\times 10^{-19}C

So charge on 206 electron =-206\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}C

Charge on 1 proton = -1.6\times 10^{-19}C

So charge on 161 electron =-106\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}C

So charge of the system = (-206+161)\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}C

=-72\times 10^{-19}C
