A cannon fired horizontally at 20 m/s from the top of a cliff lands 80m away. how tall is the cliff

Physics
1 answer:

8 0

Answer:

The height of the cliff is, h = 78.4 m

Explanation:

Given,

The horizontal velocity of the projectile, Vx = 20 m/s

The range of the projectile, s = 80 m

The projectile projected from a height is given by the formula

                            <em> S = Vx [Vy + √(Vy² + 2gh)] / g </em>

Therefore,  

                            h = S²g/2Vx²

Substituting the values

                             h = 80² x 9.8/ (2 x 20²)

                                = 78.4 m

Hence, the height of the cliff is, h = 78.4 m

Temperature and elevation, if it is cold in Idaho and warm on the eastern end of a mountain side in california (or if warm air is going in that direction) then the cold air, being more dense, will go towards california while the cold air in Idaho will become warm. Same goes for the rest of the world

A 12 oz can of soda is left in a car on a hot day. In the morning the soda temperature was 60oF with a gauge pressure of 40 psi.
Neko [114]
In this case, volume of the can remains constant. The relationship between pressure and temperature at constant volume is given by:

P/T = Constant

Then
\frac{ P_{1} }{ T_{1} } = \frac{ P_{2} }{ T_{2} }

Where
P1 = 40 psi
P2 = ?
T1 = 60°F ≈ 289 K
T2 = 90°F ≈ 305 K (note, 363 K is not right)

Substituting;
P_{2} = \frac{ P_{1}  T_{2} }{ T_{1} } = \frac{40*305}{289}  =42.21 psi

A heat pump has a coefficient of performance of 4. if the heat pump absorbs 20 cal of heat from the cold outdoors per cycle, how
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
A heat pump has a coefficient of performance of 7.05. If the heat pump absorbs 20 cal of heat from the cold outdoors in each cycle, find the heat expelled to the warm indoors. Answer in units of cal. I believe COP (heating mode) : 7.05 and COP = Qh/W Qc = 20 cal so I have to find Qh= ? cal I dont know an equation to put all this together? Please help, thank you.
