A cannon, positioned on a hill, shoots a cannonball horizontally at 23 m/s. The cannonball hits the stone wall 1.96 m below the

height it was shot. How far away is the cannon from the wall?

Answer: 14. 49 m

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equations:

x=V_{o} cos \theta t (1)

y-y_{o}=V_{o} sin \theta t-\frac{1}{2}gt^{2} (2)

Where:

x is the horizontal distance between the cannon and the ball

V_{o}=23 m/s is the cannonball initial velocity

\theta=0\° since the cannonball was shoot horizontally

t is the time

y=0 is the final height of the cannonball

y_{o}=1.96 m is the initial height of the cannonball

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity

Isolating t from (2):

t=\sqrt{-\frac{2(y-y_{o})}{g}} (3)

t=\sqrt{-\frac{2(0 m-1.96 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} (4)

t=0.63 s (5)

Substituting (5) in (1):

x=(23 m/s) cos(0\°) 0.63 s (6)

Finally:

x=14.49 m

A baseball is hit that just goes over a wall that is 45.4m high. If the baseball is traveling at 46.2 m/s at an angle of 32.7° b
mario62 [17]

Answer:

54.9 m/s at 44.9 degrees

Explanation:

If the ball has a total velocity of 46.2 m/s, at an angle of -32.7 degrees, we can decompose its speed into its horizontal and vertical components.

Vx = V * cos(a) = 46.2 * cos(-32.7) = 38.9 m/s

Vy = V * sin(a) = 46.2 * sin(-32.7) = -25 m/s

SInce there is no force on the horizontal direction (omitting air drag), we can assume constant horizontal speed.

Since a ball thrown is at free fall, only affected by gravity (omitting air drag), we can say it is affected by constant acceleration, therefore we can use

Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 *t + 1/2 * a * t^2

We consider t=0 as the moment when the ball was hit, so in this case Y0 = 1 m

If we take the first derivative of the equation of position, we get the equation for speed

V(t) = Vy0 + a * t

We know that being t2 the moment the ball goes over the wall

V(t2) = -25 m/s

Y(t2) = 45.4 m

So:

45.4 = 1 + Vy0 * t2 + 1/2 * a * t2^2

-25 = Vy0 + a * t2

Then:

Vy0 = -25 - a * t2

So:

45.4 = 1 + (-25 - a * t2) * t2 + 1/2 * a * t2^2

0 = -44.4 - 25 * t2 - 1/2 * a * t2^2

a = -9.81 m/s^2

0 = -44.4 - 25 * t2 + 4.9 * t2^2

Solving this quadratic equation we get:

t1 = -1.39 s

t2 = 6.5 s

Since we are looking for a positive value we disregard t1.

Now we can obtain Vy0:

Vy0 = -25 + 9.81 * 6.5 = 38.76 m/s

Since horizontal speed is constant Vx0 = 38.9 m/s

By Pythagoras theorem we obtain the value of the initial speed:

V0 = \sqrt{Vx0^2 + Vy0^2} = \sqrt{38.9^2 + 38.76^2} = 54.9 m/s

The angle is in the the first quadrant because both comonents ate positive, so: 0 < a < 90

a = atan(Vy0/Vx0) = 44.9 degrees

Explain in terms of energy flow how a cold pack works on a sprained ankle
sergij07 [2.7K]
The <span>flow of how a cold pack works on a sprained ankle is based on the second law of thermodynamics which states that energy will flow from a higher to a lower temperature. So your body heat will flow to the cold pack in which you will feel the coldness of the pack.</span>

(f) What do you mean by: (i) 1 J energy (ii) 1 W power​
max2010maxim [7]

Explanation:

Watts are defined as 1 Watt = 1 Joule per second (1W = 1 J/s)

which means that 1 kW = 1000 J/s. A Watt is the amount of energy (in Joules) that an electrical device (such as a light) is burning per second that it's running.
