A revolutionary war cannon, with a mass of 2260 kg, fires a 21 kg ball horizontally. The cannonball has a speed of 105 m/s after

it has left the barrel. The cannon carriage is on a flat platform and is free to roll horizontally. What is the speed of the cannon immediately after it was fired?

Answer:

0.97566 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of cannon = 2260 kg

v_1 = Velocity of cannon

m_2 = Mass of ball = 21 kg

v_2 = Velocity of ball = 105 m/s

As the momentum of the system is conserved we have

m_1v_1=m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{21\times 105}{2260}\\\Rightarrow v_1=0.97566\ m/s

The velocity of the cannon is 0.97566 m/s

A student walks 4 block east, 7 blocks west, 1 blocks east then 2 blocks west in an hour. Her average speed is____ block/hour
Gemiola [76]

Average speed = (total distance) / (total time)

Average speed = (4+7+1+2 blox) / (1 hour)

<em>Average speed = 14 blocks/hour</em>

<em></em>

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and take a wild guess:

I'm guessing that there's another question glued onto the end of this one, and it asks you to find either her displacement or her average velocity.  I'm so sure of this that I'm gonna give you the solution for that too.  If there's no more question, then you won't need this, and you can just discard it.  I won't mind.

Average velocity = (displacement) / (time for the displacement)

"Displacement" = distance and direction from the start point to the end point, regardless of how she got there.

Displacement = (4E + 7W + 1E + 2W)

Displacement = (5E + 9W)

<em>Displacement = 4 blocks west</em>

Average velocity = (4 blocks west) / (1 hour)

<em>Average velocity = 4 blocks/hour  West</em>

For a converging lens, a ray arriving parallel to the optic axis
mixer [17]

Answer:

b. passes through the principal focal point.

Explanation:

Light wave can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that do not require a medium of propagation for it to travel through a vacuum of space where no particles exist.

A lens can be defined as a transparent optical instrument that refracts rays of light to produce a real image.

Basically, there are two (2) main types of lens and these includes;

I. Diverging (concave) lens.

II. Converging (convex) lens.

A converging lens refers to a type of lens that typically causes parallel rays of light with respect to its principal axis to come to a focus (converge) and form a real image. This type of lens is usually thin at the lower and upper edges and thick across the middle.

For a converging lens, a ray arriving parallel to the optic axis passes through the principal focal point.
