Sir Dudley the Dextrous is loading cannons on top of the castle's tallest towers in preparation for an expected attack. He slips

, and a cannonball of mass 14.0 kg 14.0 kg rolls to the edge of the tower, which has a perfectly horizontal surface, and falls to the ground below. It takes the cannonball 3.15 s 3.15 s to fall to the ground, and air resistance is negligible. How much work is done by gravity on the falling cannonball?

Answer:

6667.9 J

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of cannon.m=14 kg

Time,t=3.15 s

Initial velocity,u=0

We have to find the work done by gravity on the falling cannon ball.

g=9.8 m/s^2

h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

Substitute the values

h=0+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (3.15)^2=48.6 m

Work done,W=mgh

Using the formula

W=14\times 9.8\times 48.6=6667.9 J

How does an inclined plane affect the effort needed to move a load vertically?
VashaNatasha [74]

If we pull an object vertically upwards then we need to apply a force which is equal in the magnitude of the weight of the object

F = mg

now when we pull the same object upwards along an inclined plane with angle then we require a force which will balance the component of weight along the inclined

so it is given as

F' = mgsin\theta

so as if we compare the two forces we can say that since the value of sine is always less than 1 for an angle less than 90 degree

so in the 2nd case when we pull the object along the inclined plane it will require less effort

so correct answer is

<em>A. reduce effort</em>

Which of these galaxies would you most likely find at the center of a large cluster of galaxies?
Arada [10]

Answer:

b. a large elliptical galaxy

Explanation:

In elliptical galaxies the stars are grouped in an elliptical shape, it has a low quantity of gas and dust in comparison to spiral galaxies, and its stars belong to an old population, there is not new stellar formation in it.

The stars orbit in a messy way which made to believe that they form from the merger of galaxies.

They are also really massive (around 10^{4} solar masses).

The most massive and luminous can be found in the center of cluster of galaxies.

If the Earth and distant stars were stationary (motionless) in space, what would we observe about the wavelength from these star
dangina [55]
1) In the first case, the correct answer is
<span>A.Wavelengths measured would match the actual wavelengths emitted.
In fact, the stars are not moving relative to Earth, so there is no shift in the measured wavelength.

2) In this second case, the correct answer is
</span><span>A.Wavelengths measured would be shorter than the actual wavelengths emitted.
</span>in fact, since the stars in this case are moving towards the Earth, then apparent frequency of their emitted light will be larger than the actual frequency, because of the Doppler effect, according to the formula:
f'= \frac{c}{c+v_s} f_0
where f0 is the actual frequency, f' the apparent frequency, c the speed of light and vs the velocity of the source (the stars) relative to the obsever (Earth). Vs is negative when the source is moving towards the observer, so the apparent frequency f' is larger than the actual frequency f0. But the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency, so the apparent wavelength will be shorter than the actual wavelength.
