Answer:
The free-body diagram of the cannonball is found in the attachment below
<em>Note The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:</em>
<em>A cannonball has just been shot out of a cannon aimed 45∘ above the horizontal rightward direction. Drag forces cannot be neglected.</em>
<em>Draw the free-body diagram of the cannonball.</em>
Explanation:
Free-body diagrams are diagrams used to show the relative magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object in a given situation.
In order to construct free-body diagrams, it is important to know the various types of forces acting on the object in that situation. Then, the direction in which each of the forces is acting is determined. Finally the given object is drawn using any given representation, usually a box, and the direction of action of the forces are represented using arrows.
In the given situation of a cannonball which has just been shot out of a cannon aimed 45∘ above the horizontal rightward direction., the forces acting on it are:
F = force exerted by the cannon acting in the direction of angle of projection
Fdrag = drag force. The drag force acts in a direction opposite to the force exerted by the cannon
Fw = weight of the cannonball acting in a downward direction
The free body diagram is as shown in the attachment below.
Light wave gets to you first
Light travels faster than sound and is around 300000000 m/s which is faster than sound waves. And by experience, when you are looking out the window, you can see a quick flash of light (lightning), light moves very fast
Answer:
the velocity of the bullet-wood system after the collision is 2.48 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the bullet, m₀ = 20 g = 0.02 kg
velocity of the bullet, v₀ = 250 m/s
mass of the wood, m₁ = 2 kg
velocity of the wood, v₁ = 0
Let the velocity of the bullet-wood system after collision = v
Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum to calculate the final velocity of the system;
Initial momentum = final momentum
m₀v₀ + m₁v₁ = v(m₀ + m₁)
0.02 x 250 + 2 x 0 = v(2 + 0.02)
5 + 0 = v(2.02)
5 = 2.02v
v = 5/2.02
v = 2.48 m/s
Therefore, the velocity of the bullet-wood system after the collision is 2.48 m/s
Answer:
Explanation:
Work is the product of force and displacement. Work is positive if force and displacement moves in the same direction. Work is negative if force and displacement moves in opposite direction. Take for example, a load is to move from point A to point B in the forward direction. if you apply force on the load from point A to B work done on the load is positive. If it happens that the force you apply is to the opposite direction, the work done will be negative.
The coordinate system should have the origin at the point where the feather is dropped and the downward direction is to be taken as positive.
All falling bodies experience acceleration towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravitational attraction exerted on the object by the Earth. A feather, when dropped experiences an acceleration in the downward direction. Since the acceleration of the feather is in the downward direction, a feather, when dropped with zero initial velocity, has its velocity vector directed in the direction of its acceleration.
If the downward direction is taken as positive, the falling feather can be said to have a positive velocity and a positive acceleration.
