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

A rectangular dam is 101 ft long and 54 ft high. If the water is 35 ft deep, find the force of the water on the dam (the density
blsea [12.9K]

To solve this problem we will begin by finding the pressure through density and average depth. Later we will find the Force, by means of the relation of the pressure and the area.

P = \rho h

Here,

h = Depth average

\rho = Density

Moreover,

\text{Density of water}= \rho = 62.4lb/ft^3

Replacing,

P = (62.4lb/ft^3)(\frac{35}{2}ft)

P = 1092 lb/ft^2

Finally the force

\text{Force} = \text{Pressure}\times \text{Area of dam with water acting on it}

F = 1092lb/ft^2(101ft*52ft)

F = 5.735*10^6lbf

What does the rotational speed of the ring module have to be so that an astronaut standing on the outer rim of the ring module f
Usimov [2.4K]

Complete question:

In the movie The Martian, astronauts travel to Mars in a spaceship called Hermes. This ship has a ring module that rotates around the ship to create “artificial gravity” within the module. Astronauts standing inside the ring module on the outer rim feel like they are standing on the surface of the Earth. (The trailer for this movie shows Hermes at t=2:19 and demonstrates the “artificial gravity” concept between t= 2:19 and t=2:24.)

Analyzing a still frame from the trailer and using the height of the actress to set the scale, you determine that the distance from the center of the ship to the outer rim of the ring module is 11.60 m

What does the rotational speed of the ring module have to be so that an astronaut standing on the outer rim of the ring module feels like they are standing on the surface of the Earth?

Answer:

The rotational speed of the ring module have to be 0.92 rad/s

Explanation:

Given;

the distance from the center of the ship to the outer rim of the ring module r, = 11.60 m

When the astronaut standing on the outer rim of the ring module feels like they are standing on the surface of the Earth, then their centripetal acceleration will be equal to acceleration due to gravity of Earth.

Centripetal acceleration, a = g = 9.8 m/s²

Centripetal acceleration, a = v²/r

But v = ωr

a = g = ω²r

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{g}{r}} = \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{11.6} } = 0.92 \ rad/s

Therefore, the rotational speed of the ring module have to be 0.92 rad/s

Which weathering process is mechanical
andrey2020 [161]

Mechanical weathering is the physical breakdown of rock by environmental factors. This process is always at work, and there are a number of different types of mechanical weathering. Thermal expansion is the tendency for minerals to expand and contract based on temperature.
