A 500.0-kilogram cannon is at rest on a frictionless surface. A remote triggering device causes a 5.0-kilogram projectile to be

fired from the cannon moving at 30 m/s. What is the recoil speed of the cannon?
A. 83.3 m/s
B. 0.3 m/s
C. 16.7 m/s
D. 75 m/s

From the law of conservation of momentum the initial momentum is equivalent to the final momentum. Therefore, the total momentum before firing will be equivalent to the momentum after firing. if we take mass of the projectile to be mass i and that of the cannon as mass ii.
The initial momentum will be given by m1v1 +m2v1 
This initial momentum is equivalent to zero since initially both the cannon and the projectile are at zero velocity.
The final momentum is given by m1v2 + m2v3, where v2 is the velocity of the projectile  and v3 is the recoil velocity of the cannon.
Therefore, m1v2 + m2v3 =0
              ( 5 × 30 ) + ( 500 × v3) =0
               500 v3 = -150
                       v3 =  - 0.3 m/s
The velocity is negative indicating that the cannon moved in the opposite direction. therefore, the recoil velocity is 0.3 m/s

An electric heater is rated at 1400 W, a toaster is rated at 1150 W, and an electric grill is rated at 1560 W. The three applian
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The current in the heater is 12.5 A

Explanation:

It is given that,

Power of electric heater, P₁ = 1400 W

Power of toaster, P₂ = 1150 W

Power of electric grill, P₃ = 1560 W

All three appliances are connected in parallel across a 112 V emf source. We need to find the current in the heater. We know that in parallel combination of resistors the current flowing in every branch of resistor divides while the voltage is same.

Electric power, P_1=V\times I_1

I_1=\dfrac{P_1}{V}

I_1=\dfrac{1400\ W}{112\ V}

I_1=12.5\ A

So, the current in the heater is 12.5 A. Hence, this is the required solution.
