This is simply referring to the fact that the gravitational pull of the earth is greater as you get closer to the surface of the earth, meaning that acceleration increases as well.

A cannonball is fired vertically upwards at 100.0 m/s a) How long will it take to return to the cannon? b) what is it's maximum
V125BC [204]
Answer:
a) 20s
b) 500m

Explanation:
Given the initial velocity = 100 m/s, acceleration = -10m/s^2 (since it is moving up, acceleration is negative), and at the maximum height, the ball is not moving so final velocity = 0 m/s.

To find time, we apply the UARM formula:

v final = (a x t) + v initial

Replacing the values gives us:

0 = (-10 x t) + 100

-100 = -10t

t = 10s

It takes 10s for the the ball to reach its max height, but it must also go down so it takes 2 trips, once going up and then another one going down, both of which take the same time to occur

So 10s going up and another 10s going down:

10x2 = 20s

b) Now that we have v final = 0, v initial = 100, a = -10, t = 10s (10s because maximum displacement means the displacement from the ground to the max height) we can easily find the displacement by applying the second formula of UARM:

Δy = (1/2)(a)(t^2) + (v initial)(t)

Replacing the values gives us:

Δy = (1/2)(-10)(10^2) + (100)(10)

= (-5)(100) + 1000

= -500 + 1000

= 500 m

Hope this helps, brainliest would be appreciated :)

The end of a horizontal rope is attatched to a prong of an electricity driven tuning fork that vibrates at 100hz. The other end
Darina [25.2K]

here since string is attached with a mass of 2 kg

so here tension force in the rope is given as

T = mg

here we will have

T = 2(9.8) = 19.6 N

now we will have speed of wave given as

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

here we will have

v = \sqrt{\frac{19.6}{0.75\times 10^{-2}}}

v = 16.33 m/s

now we know that frequency is given as

F = 100 Hz

now wavelength is given as

\lambda = \frac{v}{F}

\lambda = \frac{16.33}{100} = 0.16 m

so wavelength will be 0.16 m
