A cannonball is fired horizontally from the top of a cliff. The cannon is at height H = 70.0 m above ground level, and the ball

is fired with initial horizontal speed v0. Assume acceleration due to gravity to be g = 9.80 m/s2. Given that the projectile lands at a distance D = 150 m from the cliff, find the initial speed of the projectile, v0. Express the initial speed numerically in meters per second.

Answer:

39.7 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the cannonball consists of a horizontal and a vertical motion. The vertical motion is under gravity while the horizontal motion is a constant-velocity motion. Both motions span the same time interval. We consider them differently.

Vertical motion:

Acceleration, a=9.80

Initial velocity, u=0.00 (since the ball was fired horizontally)

Distance, s=70.0

Using the equation s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2,

70.0=0+\frac{1}{2}9.80t^2

t=\sqrt{\dfrac{70.0}{4.90}}=\dfrac{10.0}{\sqrt{7}}

Horizontal motion:

Since there is no acceleration, horizontal velocity = horizontal distance ÷ time for vertical motion.

v=\dfrac{d}{t}

v=\dfrac{150}{\frac{10.0}{\sqrt{7}}}

v=15\sqrt{7}=39.7

A generator makes electricity from _____ A. Chemical reactions B. Friction C. Kinetic energy D. Heat
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The answer is C. Kinetic energy

Explanation:

Generators don't actually create electricity. Instead, they convert mechanical or chemical energy into electrical energy. They do this by capturing the power of motion and turning it into electrical energy by forcing electrons from the external source through an electrical circuit.

Two speakers both emit sound of frequency 320 Hz, and are in phase. A receiver sits 2.3 m from one speaker, and 2.9 m from the o
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

The phase difference is found by subtracting the 2.3m for the receiver from the other speaker which is 2.9m hence

Phase difference= 2.9-2.3= 0.6
