Answer:

26.2 m/s

Explanation:

We can find the speed of the cannonball just by analyzing its vertical motion. In fact, the initial vertical velocity is

u_y = u sin \theta (1)

where u is the initial speed and \theta = 45.0^{\circ} is the angle of projection.

We can therefore use the following suvat equation for the vertical motion of the ball:

v_y = u_y + at

where v_y is the vertical velocity at time t, and a=g=-9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity. The time of flight is 3.78 s, so we know that the ball reaches its maximum height at half this time:

t=\frac{3.78}{2}=1.89 s

And at the maximum height, the vertical velocity is zero:

v_y=0

Substituting these values, we find the initial vertical velocity:

u_y = v_y - at = 0-(-9.8)(1.89)=18.5 m/s

And using eq.(1) we now find the initial speed:

u=\frac{u_y}{sin \theta}=\frac{18.5}{sin 45.0^{\circ}}=26.2 m/s

A bald eagle is flying to the left with a speed of 34 meters
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

the speed after 3 seconds is 10 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the speed is shown below:

As we know that

V = U  + at

Here,

U = 34 m/s

a =  - 8 m/s²

t = 3 Sec

V = velocity after 3 sec

V  = 34 + (-8)3

 = 34 - 24

 V = 10 m/s

Hence, the speed after 3 seconds is 10 m/s

What is the answer to this definition ?
Paul [167]

Newton's 2nd law of motion is:    <em>Force</em> = (mass) x (acceleration) .

Force is the only way to change an object's velocity.
