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 ?

Anika [276]
No, gravity acts equally on all objects.  The crumpled paper falls faster because it resists the drag force due to the atmosphere because of its compact size.  A flat piece of paper has an extended body and "catches" the air and falls more slowly.  In a vacuum they would fall at the same rate either way.

Rama09 [41]

1. The light phenomena happen due to the refraction of light upon hitting the small crystals that make up cirrus or cirrostratus clouds is called Sundogs.

2.A light phenomena which are formed when light passes through clouds and strikes the ice crystals in them is called Halos.

3.A light phenomenon formed from the combination of several light properties like refraction, reflection, and dispersion is Rainbow.

4.  Rainbow are created after a rain shower and Sun light.

5. A visible accumulations of tiny water droplets or ice crystals.

in the Earth’s atmosphere are called Clouds.

6. There are seven colors in a rainbow.

7. The kind of rainbows are formed when light strikes small raindrops with almost the same size are Supernumerary rainbows.

8.The kind of rainbows are formed when two inner reflections are done instead of one; this causes the reversal of colors in a secondary rainbow in comparison to a primary rainbow are Secondary rainbows.

9. A reflective surface that is curved inward and away from the light source is concave mirror.

10. The kind of mirror are curved outward like the bottom

of a spoon is convex mirror.

<h3>What is reflection?</h3>

When a light strikes on a shiny surface, it reflects back the light ray in the same medium. The phenomenon is called reflection and the ray is called the reflected ray.

Thus, all the questions are answered.
