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

A source charge generates an electric field of 4286 N/C at a distance of 2. 5 m. What is the magnitude of the source charge? (Us
svp [43]

The magnitude of the source charge is 3 μC which generates 4286 N/C of the electric field. Option B is correct.

What does Gauss Law state?

It states that the electric flux across any closed surface is directly proportional to the net electric charge enclosed by the surface.

Q = \dfrac {ER^2}k

Where,

E = electric force = 4286 N/C

k = Coulomb constant = 8.99 \times  10^9 \rm\ N m ^2 /C ^2

Q\\
     = charges = ?

r = distance of separation = 2.5 m

Put the values in the formula,

Q  = \dfrac {4286\times  2.5 ^2}{8.99 \times  10^9 }\\\\
Q  = 3\rm \  \mu C

Therefore, the magnitude of the source charge is 3 μC.

A child’s toy that is made to shoot ping pong balls consists of a tube, a spring (k = 18 N/m) and a catch for the spring that ca
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The height is 3.1m

Explanation:

Here we have a conservation of energy problem, we have a conversion form eslastic potencial  energy to gravitational potencial energy, so:

E_e=\frac{1}{2}K*x^2\\E_e=\frac{1}{2}18N/m*(9.5*10^{-2}m)^2\\E_e=0.081J

then we have only gravitational potencial energy when the ball is at its maximun height.

E_g=m*g*h

because all the energy was transformed Eg=Ee

h=\frac{0.081J}{9.8m/s^2*m}

searching the web, the mass of a ping pong ball is 2.7 gr in average. so:

h=\frac{0.081J}{9.8m/s^2*(2.7*10^{-3}kg)}\\h=3.1m

Longitudinal sound waves cannot propagate through
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

A vacuum

Explanation:

Sound waves are examples of mechanical waves. Mechanical waves are waves which are transmitted through the vibrations of the particles in a medium.

For example, sound waves in air consist of oscillations of the air particles, which vibrate back and forth (longitudinal wave) along the direction of propagation of the wave itself.

Given this definition of mechanical wave, we see that such a wave cannot propagate if there is no medium, because there are no particles that would oscillate. Therefore, among the choices given, the following one:

a vacuum

represent the only situation in which a sound wave cannot propagate through: in fact, there are no particles in a vacuum, so the oscillations cannot occur. In all other cases, instead, sound waves can propagate.
