A cannon is mounted on a cart which sits on the ground, supported by frictionless wheels. The mass of the cannon and cart is 4.6

5 kg, and it is initially traveling at 2.00 m/s. A 50.0 g projectile is then launched with a horizontal velocity of 647 m/s from the cannon. What is the velocity of the launcher after the projectile is launched

Answer:

v = -4.96 m/s

Explanation:

The mass of the cart and the cannon, M₁ = 4.65 kg

The initial velocity of the cart, v₁ = 2 m/s

The mass of the projectile, M₂ = 50 g = 0.05 kg

The initial velocity of the projectile, v₂ = 647 m/s

Velocity of the launcher after the projectile is launched, v = ?

Using the principle of momentum conservation:

Momentum of the launcher before the launch = Momentum of the projectile + momentum of the launcher after the launch

M₁v₁  = M₂v₂ + M₁v

(4.65*2) = (0.05*647) + (4.65v)

9.3 = 32.35 + 4.65v

9.3 - 32.35 = 4.65v

-23.05 = 4.65v

v = -23.05/4.65

v = -4.96 m/s

Answer:

The velocity of the launcher after the projectile is launched is  -5.011 m/s

Explanation:

Here we have the mass of the cannon and cart, m₁ =  4.65 kg

Velocity of cannon and cart, v₁ = 2.00 m/s

Mass of projectile, m₂ = 50.0 g = 0.05 kg

Velocity of projectile, v₂ = 647 m/s

Velocity of the launcher, v₃ = Required

Mass of cannon and cart, launcher after launching projectile m₃ = 4.65-0.05

= 4.6 kg

Therefore, from the principle of the conservation of linear momentum, we have

Total initial momentum = Total final momentum

m₁ × v₁ = m₂ × v₂ + m₃ × v₃

Substituting gives

4.65 kg × 2.00 m/s = 0.05 kg × 647 m/s + 4.6 kg × v₃

4.65 kg × 2.00 m/s - 0.05 kg × 647 m/s = 4.6 kg × v₃

-23.05 kg·m/s = 4.6 kg × v₃

v_3 = \frac{-23.05 \, kg\cdot m/s}{4.6 \, kg} =  \frac{-461}{92} m/s

v₃ = -5.011 m/s.

Alika [10]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of a body is proportional to the net external force that acts on the body.

A body accelerated when it is acted upon by an unbalanced net external force.

When the external forces acting on a body are balanced, the effect of each force is cancelled by the other hence the body is not accelerated according to Newton's second law.

Two common ions of manganese are Mn2+ and Mn3+. Which binary ionic compound is likely to form? A) Mn2N3 B) MnBr4 C) MnCl D) MnO
meriva
Given that Oxygen has an oxidation state of  2 -, you can combine Mn 3+ with O 2- ions to form Mn2O3, and you can combine Mn 2+ with O 2- to form Mn2O2 which is MnO.

The other compounds imply oxidation states of N, Br and Cl that does not exist.

Therefore, the answer is the option D. MnO

A beam of electrons is sent horizontally down the axis of a tube to strike a fluorescent screen at the end of the tube. On the w
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

The answer is 3.

Explanation:

The answer to this question can be found by applying the right hand rule for which the pointer finger is in the direction of the electron movement, the thumb is pointing in the direction of the magnetic field, so the effect that this will have on the electrons is the direction that the middle finger points in which is right in this example.

So as a result of the magnetic field directed vertically downwards which is at a right angle with the electron beams, the electrons will move to the right and the spot will be deflected to the right of the screen when looking from the electron source.

I hope this answer helps.
