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

$0.080 per kWh

25W porch light

a day = 24hrs

365 days in a year = 8760hrs


1) convert 25W to kW

0.025kW in the porch light



2) kW in a year

0.025kW × 8760hrs = 219 kWh in a whole year



3) money

$0.080 × 219kWh = $17.52

Bella makes the 6.1m distance to her food bowl in 8.8 seconds what is her average velocity
storchak [24]
Bella’s average velocity is about 0.693 meters per second.

To find the average velocity, you must divide the distance by the change in time, which should look like v=d/t

Here is how you set up the equation-
v=6.1/8.8

Once you divide 6.1 meters by 8.8 seconds, you should get a number that looks like 0.69318182.... however, I just rounded it to 0.693 meters per second. You can round it to whatever you like.

Hope this helped! If you have any questions about what I mentioned in my answer or explanation, feel free to comment on my answer and I’ll try to get back to you!
