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.

A dragster starts from rest and travels 1/4 mi in 6.80 s with constant acceleration. What is its velocity when it crosses the fi
Ahat [919]
<h2>Its velocity when it crosses the finish line is 117.65 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5 at²

        Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

        Acceleration, a = ?

        Time, t = 6.8 s    

        Displacement, s = 1/4 mi =    400 meters

     Substituting

                      s = ut + 0.5 at²

                      400 = 0 x 6.8 + 0.5 x a x 6.8²

                      a = 17.30 m/s²

Now we have equation of motion v = u + at

     Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

     Final velocity, v = ?

     Time, t = 6.8 s

      Acceleration, a = 17.30 m/s²

     Substituting

                      v = u + at  

                      v = 0 + 17.30 x 6.8

                      v = 117.65 m/s

Its velocity when it crosses the finish line is 117.65 m/s

Janelle wants to buy some strings of decorative lights for her home. She is trying to decide between two strings of lights that
inysia [295]
If she has a choice and the wiring details are stated on the packaging,
then Janelle should look for lights that are wired in parallel within the
string, and she should avoid lights that are wired in series within the string. 

If a single light in a parallel string fails, then only that one goes out. 
The rest of the lights in the string continue to shimmer and glimmer.

If a single light in a series string fails, then ALL of the lights in that string
go out, and it's a substantial engineering challenge to determine which light
actually failed.

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Given:

Fundamental frequency: 470Hz

T1:310k,T2:315k

Calculating velocity

Recall v=(331m/s)✓[T1/273k)

V=331✓(310/273)

V1=331*(1.0656)=352.72m/s

V2=331✓(315/273)=355.5m/s

Fundamental frequency=4L

F2=F1(V2/V1)

F2=470(355.5/352.72)=474.4Hz

Beat=[F2-F1]=474.4-470=4.4Hz

Hey guys, i'm at 10 grade at school i have a physics question about stress tension and young modulus ? Please this is my questio
makvit [3.9K]
Use the eq. of Young modulus Y=(F/A)/(∆l/lo)
dimana ∆l is the elongation of wire, lo is its initial length.
So ∆l = (F/A)lo/Y.
∆l = (1000N/(6.5 × 10^-7 m^2))×(2.5m)/(2.0 × 10^-11 N/m^2)
