During a circus act, a performer thrills the crowd by catching a cannon ball shot at him. The cannon ball has a mass of m1 = 8.5

kg and the horizontal component of its velocity is v = 8.1 m/s when the performer, of mass m2 = 66 kg, catches it. If the performer is on nearly frictionless roller skates, what is his recoil velocity?

Answer:

v = 0.92 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that there is no external horizontal force on the cannon ball + performer

So here total momentum of the system must be conserved

so we will have

m_1v_1 = (m_1 + m_2) v_f

m_1 = 8.5 kg

v_1 = 8.1 m/s

m_2 = 66 kg

now from above equation we have

8.5 \times 8.1 = (8.5 + 66) v

v = 0.92 m/s

What determines if a material is a conductor or an insulator? Explain your answer and provide at least one example of each.
Dmitry [639]
A conducting material conducts or allows electricity to flow, while an insulator does not allow electricity to flow. For example think of a water pipe, if the pipe has a hole water can flow, on the other hand if it is just a solid rod, no water can flow through. I hope this helps.

Zigmanuir [339]
In energy point of view, the larger stone had more potential energy before dropping. impacting the water, the larger one, having more kinetic energy which changed from potential energy, tranfered energy to the water and formed wave. the amplitude of the wave indicate the energy of the wave. more energy more amplitude.
