Answer:

A). 0 Meter

Explanation:

As we know that cannon ball is dropped downwards from ship of height 17 m

so here the time taken by the ball to drop it downwards is given by

y = \frac{1}{2}gt^2

17 = \frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2

t = 1.86 s

now in the same time the ball will travel horizontally with the speed same as the speed of the ship

so here we will have

d = v\times t

d = 2(1.86)

d = 3.72 m

so it will move by 3.72 m from its initial position

but in the same time mast of the ship will also cover same distance as ship is also moving with same speed

So the distance between the base of ship and the ball will be

d = 0 m

The correct choice is A. 0 meters.

If you simply dropped the cannonball and didn't throw it horizontally,

then it'll fall straight down the mast and land on the deck right next to

the mast.


While you were up there holding it, before you dropped it, the cannonball

was moving horizontally, at 2.0 meters/second, along with the rest of the

ship and everything else aboard. It continued doing that after it dropped,

and from the point of view (in the reference frame) of the mast and everyone

on the ship, it fell straight down, parallel to the mast.


Now that we have that question answered, we can proceed to the more-

important ones. I answered the easy one, but YOU'll have to answer these:


==> WHY did you climb the mast carrying a cannonball ?

Have you been drinking sea water or bad rum ?


==> WHY did you drop it, and never even yell "LOOK OUT BELOW !" ?


==> How many formerly-able-bodied souls were injured by the

plummeting cannonball ?


==> What did everybody ELSE yell after the impact ?


==> What did they do to you after they brought you down ?

A bucket that has a mass of 20 kg when filled with sand needs to be lifted to the top of a 15 meter tall building. You have a ro
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the top of the building,

W=67.46 Nm

Explanation:

in this question we have given

mass of bucket=20kg

mass of rope=.2\frac{kg}{m}

height of building= 15 meter

We have to find the work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the building =work done in lifting the rope + work done in lifting the sand

work done in lifting the rope is given as,W_{1}=Force \times displacement

=\int\limits^{15}_0 {.2x} \, dx ..............(1)

=.1\times 15^2

=22.5 Nm

work done in lifting the sand is given as,W_{2}=Force \times displacement

W_{2}=\int\limits^{15}_0 F \, dx.................(2)

Here,

F=mx+c

here,

c=20-18

c=2

m=\frac{20-18}{15-0}

m=.133

Therefore,

F=.133x+2

Put value of F in equation 2

W_{2}=\int\limits^{15}_0 (.133x+2) \, dx

W_{2}=.133 \times 112.5+2\times15\\W_{2}=14.96+30\\W_{2}=44.96 Nm

Therefore,

work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the top of the building,W=W_{1}+W_{2}

W=22.5 Nm+44.96 Nm

W=67.46 Nm

A solution is oversaturated with solute. which could be done to decrease the oversaturation?
Grace [21]
<span>A solution is oversaturated with solute. The thing that could be done to decrease the oversaturation is to add more solvent in order to decrease the concentration of the solute. You can also increase the temperature to increase solubility of the solute. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Newton’s third law of motion says that for every action there is a(n) and opposite reaction.
Alika [10]

Answer:

Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.

Explanation:

this is what i know but i am sorry if this doesn't help
