Answer:

30.63 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Total time (T) spent by the ball in air = 5 s

Maximum height (h) =.?

Next, we shall determine the time taken to reach the maximum height. This can be obtained as follow:

Total time (T) spent by the ball in air = 5 s

Time (t) taken to reach the maximum height =.?

T = 2t

5 = 2t

Divide both side by 2

t = 5/2

t = 2.5 s

Thus, the time (t) taken to reach the maximum height is 2.5 s

Finally, we shall determine the maximum height reached by the ball as follow:

Time (t) taken to reach the maximum height = 2.5 s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Maximum height (h) =.?

h = ½gt²

h = ½ × 9.8 × 2.5²

h = 4.9 × 6.25

h = 30.625 ≈ 30.63 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the cannon ball is 30.63 m

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

we agree with

Edgar: The net force on the ball at the top position is 9 N. Both the tension and the weight are acting downward so you have to add them.

Explanation:

Weight of the ball is given as

W = 2N

so we have

m = \frac{W}{g}

m = 0.204 kg

now tension force at the top is given as

T_{top} = 7 N

T_{bottom} = 15 N

Now at the top position by force equation we can say that ball will have two downwards forces

1) Tension force

2) Weight of the ball

so net force on the ball is given as

F_{net} = T + W

F_{net} = 7 + 2 = 9 N

So we agree with

Edgar: The net force on the ball at the top position is 9 N. Both the tension and the weight are acting downward so you have to add them.

The potential energy of a 1.7 x 10-3 kg particle is described by U (x )space equals space minus (17 space J )space cos open squa
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given a particle of mass

M = 1.7 × 10^-3 kg

Given a potential as a function of x

U(x) = -17 J Cos[x/0.35 m]

U(x) = -17 Cos(x/0.35)

Angular frequency at x = 0

Let find the force at x = 0

F = dU/dx

F = -17 × -Sin(x/0.35) / 0.35

F = 48.57 Sin(x/0.35)

At x = 0

Sin(0) =0

Then,

F = 0 N

So, from hooke's law

F = -kx

Then,

0 = -kx

This shows that k = 0

Then, angular frequency can be calculated using

ω = √(k/m)

So, since k = 0 at x = 0

Then,

ω = √0/m

ω = √0

ω = 0 rad/s

So, the angular frequency is 0 rad/s
