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

Is it possible to have a net torque when all of the forces sum to zero? Explain.
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Yes it is possible

Explanation:

When two equal magnitude forces are acting on the rod in opposite direction

Then the net force on the system is always zero in that case

so we will have

F - F = 0

now for the system net torque due to these forces is given by

\tau = F(r_1) + F(r_2)

here we know that

r_1, r_2 = distance of the forces from reference about which torque is measured

so here we can say that net force is zero on the system while torque is not zero

in all such case object will rotate about a fixed position with change angular speed

Andy Petite pitches a 0.8 kg baseball with a velocity of 67 m/s. Josh Hamilton
kodGreya [7K]

The Impulse delivered to the baseball is 89 kgm/s.

To solve the problem above, we use the formula of impulse.

⇒ Formula:

  • I = m(v-u)................. Equation 1

Where:

  • I = Impulse delivered to the baseball
  • m = mass of the baseball
  • v = Final velocity of the baseball
  • u = initial speed of the baseball

From the question,

⇒ Given:

  • m = 0.8 kg
  • u = 67 m/s
  • v = -44 m/s

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 1

  • I = 0.8(-44-67)
  • I = 0.8(-111)
  • I = -88.8
  • I ≈ -89 kgm/s

Note: The negative tells that the impulse is in the same direction as the final velocity and therefore can be ignored.

Hence, The Impulse delivered to the baseball is 89 kgm/s.

How can you be both at rest and also moving at 100,000 km/h at the same time
4vir4ik [10]

You could be lying completley still on your bed, and all though it seems you are at rest, you are moving along with the earth around the sun and hence are motion. This is why 'being at rest' is more of a relative term. Hope this helps!
