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

2. A person began running due east and covered 15 kilometers in 2.0 hours. What is the average velocity of the person?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

7.5 km/h (2.1 m/s) due east

Explanation:

The average velocity of the person is given by:

v=\frac{d}{t}

where

d is the displacement

t is the time taken

In this problem,

d = 15 km is the displacement

t = 2.0 h is the time elapsed

so the average velocity is

v=\frac{15 km}{2.0 h}=7.5 km/h

and the direction is the same as the displacement (east).

We can also convert the velocity into SI units (m/s). We have:

d = 15 km = 15,000 m

t = 2.0 h * 3600 s/h = 7200 s

v=\frac{15,000 m}{7200 s}=2.1 m/s
