During a circus performance, a 71.2-kg human cannonball is shot out of an 18.0-m-long cannon. If the human cannonball spends 0.7

85 s in the cannon, determine the average net force exerted on him in the barrel of the cannon. (Assume the acceleration is constant.)

Answer:

F=ma = 71.2 * 58.42 = 4159.5 N

Explanation:

for FORCE we need a: acceleration (F=ma)

for acceleration we can apply the second equation of motion

s = ut + 0.5at^2

where

s = 18 m ( displacement)

u = 0 m/s (initial velocity)

t = 0.785 s (time)

18 = 0.5 * a * (0.785)^2

a = 58.42 m/s^2

now

F=ma = 71.2 * 58.42 = 4159.5 N

Fofino [41]
Since the Earth is almost spherical in shape, we are actually to find first the volume of the spherical segment at a depth of 1,000 m. The radius of the Earth is 6,371,000 meters. The volume of a spherical segment is:

V = 1/3*πh²(3r - h)
Substituting the values and making sure the units is in mm,
V = 1/3*π(1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)²[3(6,371,000 m * 1000 mm/1 m) - (1000 m * 1000 mm/1 m)]
V = 2×10²² mm³

Thus, the total amount of bacteria is:

2×10²² mm³ * 100 bacteria/1 mm³ = 2×10²⁴ bacteria

alekssr [168]

Answer:the

8/9 h

Explanation:

Height  =   1/2 a T^2     now change to T/3

 now height = 1/2 a (T/3)^2   =<u> 1/9</u>  1/2 a T^2     <===== it is 1/9 of the way down   or   8/9 h

Part A What will be the equilibrium temperature when a 227 g block of copper at 283 °C is placed in a 155 g aluminum calorimeter
stellarik [79]

Answer:

T = 20.84°C

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of energy:

Heat Lost by Copper Block = Heat Gained by Aluminum Calorimeter + Heat Gained by Water

m_cC_c\Delta T_c = m_wC_w\Delta T_w + m_aC_a\Delta T_a

where,

m_c = mass of copper = 227 g

m_w = mass of water = 844 g

m_a = mass of aluminum = 155 g

C_c = specific heat capacity of calorimeter = 385 J/kg.°C

C_w = specific heat capacity of water = 4200 J/kg.°C

C_a = specific heat capacity of aluminum = 890 J/kg.°C

\Delta T_c = change in temperature of copper = 283°C - T

\Delta T_w = change in temperature of water = T - 14.6°C

\Delta T_a = change in temperature of aluminum = T - 14.6°C

T = equilibrium temperature = ?

Therefore,

(227\ g)(385\ J/kg.^oC)(283^oC-T)=(844\ g)(4200\ J/kg.^oC)(T-14.6^oC)+(155\ g)(890\ J/kg.^oC)(T-14.6^oC)\\\\24732785\ J - (87395\ J/^oC) T = (3544800\ J/^oC) T - 51754080\ J+ (137950\ J/^oC) T-2014070\ J\\\\24732785\ J +51754080\ J+2014070\ J = (3544800\ J/^oC) T+(137950\ J/^oC+(87395\ J/^oC) T\\\\78560935\ J = (3770145\ J/^oC) T\\\\T = \frac{78560935\ J}{3770145\ J/^oC}

<u>T = 20.84°C</u>

A 2.2-kg block slides on a horizontal surface with a speed of v=0.80m/s and an
mina [271]

Answer:

μ = 0.33

Equal to 3.2 m/s²

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the block.  There are three forces:

Normal force N pushing up.

Weight force mg pulling down.

Friction force Nμ pushing opposite the direction of motion.

Sum of forces in the y direction.

∑F = ma

N − mg = 0

N = mg

Sum of forces in the x direction.

∑F = ma

Nμ = ma

Substitute.

mgμ = ma

μ = a/g

μ = (3.2 m/s²) / (9.8 m/s²)

μ = 0.33

As found earlier, the acceleration is a = gμ.  Since g and μ are constant, a is also constant, so it does not change with velocity.
