The recoil velocity of cannon is (4) 5.0 m/s

Explanation:

We can find the recoil velocity from the law of conservation of momentum.

The recoil velocity is velocity of body 2 after release of body 1, i.e. velocity of cannon after release of clown.

Let v2 be cannon's velocity, v1 be clown's velocity given = 15 m/sec

m1 be clown's mass = 100kg and m2 be cannon's mass given = 500kg.

So recoil velocity of cannon v2 is given by,

v2 = -(m1÷m2)v1

v2 = -(100÷500)15

v2 = -5 m/s

where the minus sign refers to the direction of cannon's recoil velocity being opposite to that of clown.

Hence, option (4)5.0 m/s is the correct answer.

Answer:

(3) 3.0 m/s

Explanation:

Data:

clown mass, m1 = 100 kg

cannon mass, m2 = 500 kg

clown speed, v1 = 15 m/s

cannon speed, v2 = ?

From the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the two bodies must be equal in magnitude, notice that the velocity of the bodies have opposite directions. Therefore, the magnitude of momentum is computed as follows:

m1*v1 = m2*v2

100*15 = 500*v2

v2 = 100*15/500

v2 = 3 m/s

Nuclear Energy
topjm [15]

Answer:

When uranium is mined, it consists of approximately 99.3% uranium-238 (U238), 0.7% uranium-235 (U235), and < 0.01% uranium-234 (U234). These are the different uranium isotopes. Isotopes of uranium contain 92 protons in the atom's center or nucleus. (The number of protons in the nucleus is what makes the atoms "uranium.") The U238 atoms contain 146 neutrons, the U235 atoms contain 143 neutrons, and the U234 atoms contain only 142 neutrons. The total number of protons plus neutrons gives the atomic mass of each isotope — that is 238, 235, or 234, respectively. On an atomic level, the size and weight of these isotopes are slightly different. This implies that with the right equipment and under the right conditions, the isotopes can be separated.

What is the frequency of an ocean wave that is traveling at a speed of 45 m/s if it has a wavelength of 3 meters.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Frequency, f = 15 Hz      

Explanation:

We have,

Speed of an ocean wave is 45 m/s

Wavelength of a wave is 3 m

It is required to find the frequency of an ocean wave.

Speed of a wave, v=f\lambda, f = frequency of ocean wave

f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{45}{3}\\\\f=15\ Hz

So, the frequency of an ocean wave is 15 Hz.

Statement that combines energy and mass into one law
inysia [295]

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation

Explanation:

It states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as the system's mass cannot change, so quantity can neither be added nor be removed.
