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

A 0.43 m long and 0.43 m wide loop is moved at a constant velocity of 0.15 m/s into a perpendicular constant magnetic field of 0
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

The magnitude of the induced voltage in the loop is 20 mV.

Explanation:

given;

length of loop, L = 0.43 m

width of loop,w = 0.43 m

velocity of moved loop, v = 0.15m/s

magnetic field strength,B = 0.31 T

To determine the magnitude of the induced voltage in the loop, we apply Faraday's law;

magnitude induced E.M.F = BLv

magnitude induced E.M.F = 0.31 x 0.43 x 0.15 = 0.02 V = 20 mV

Therefore, the magnitude of the induced voltage in the loop is 20 mV.

The vector values are 4.0 km due East and 3.0 km due north the resultant vector is 5.0 km long and 37 north of East this values
klemol [59]

Answer:

This values shows a right angle triangle

Explanation:

Given;

a vector 4.0 km due East

a 3.0 km due north

the resultant vector is 5.0 km

The resultant vector can be obtained by Pythagoras theorem if the vectors form a right angle triangle.

R² = 4² + 3²

R² = 16 + 9

R² = 25

R = √25

R = 5 km    (right angle triangle proved)

Therefore, this values shows a right angle triangle

A ball is dropped from a height of 20 meters. At what height does the ball have a velocity of 10 meters/second?
borishaifa [10]

Answer:B

Explanation:

Initial velocity, u=0m/s

Distance,s=20m

a=+g=9.8m/s*s

Using v*v=u*u+2gs

v*v=0+2*9.8*20

v*v=392

v=19.8

When s=20m, v = 19.8m/s

Therefore when v = 10m/s, s= 10*20/19.8

s =10.1m
