Say you dropped a cannonball from the 17–meter mast of a ship sailing at 2 meters/second. How far from the base of the mast will

the ball land?

It should land at the base of the mast. the cannonball, whilst in your hand, is travelling at the same rate as the boat in the horizontal plane ie at 2m/s. as it leaves you hand it should retain that velocity and therefore land right underneath where it was dropped. this assumes all other things are equal, eg there is no air resistance etc that might cause the ball to accelerate or decelerate.

sasho [114]

Answer:

Distance traveled will be 5.6307 m

Explanation:

Time t = 3 sec

We have given force F = 25 N

We know that force is given by F = ma

So ma = 25 -----------eqn 1

Weight is given by W = 196 N

We know that weight is given by W = mg

So mg = 196 -----------------eqn 2

From equation 1 and equation 2 \frac{a}{g}=\frac{25}{196}

a=1.2512m/sec^2

Initial velocity is given as 0 so u = 0 m/sec

From second equation of motion s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2=0\times 3+\frac{1}{2}\times 1.2512\times 3^2=5.6307m

Rufina [12.5K]
Find the electric flux and the disp at t=0.50ns 
<span>Given: </span>
<span>Resistor R = 160 Ω </span>
<span>Voltage ε = 22.0 V </span>
<span>Capacitor C = 3.10 pF = 3.10 * 10^-12 F </span>
<span>time t = 0.5 ns = 0.5 * 10^-9 s </span>
<span>ε0 = 8.85 * 10^-12 </span>
<span>Solution: </span>
<span>ELECTRIC FLUX: </span>
<span>Φ = Q/ε0 </span>
<span>we have ε0, we need to find Q the charge </span>
<span>STEP 1: FIND Q </span>
<span>Q = C ε ( 1 - e^(-t/RC) ) </span>
<span>Q = { 3.10 * 10^-12 } { 22.0 } { 1 - e^(- 0.5 * 10^-9 / 160 *3.10 * 10^-12 ) } </span>
<span>Q = { 3.10 * 10^-12 } { 22.0 } { 1 - 0.365 } </span>
<span>Q = { 3.10 * 10^-12 } { 22.0 } { 0.635 } </span>
<span>Q = 43.31 * 10^-12 C </span>
<span>STEP 2: WE HAVE Q AND ε0 > >>> SOLVE FOR ELECTRIC FLUX >>> </span>
<span>Φ = Q/ε0 </span>
<span>Φ = { 43.31 * 10^-12 C } / { ε0 = 8.85 * 10^-12 } </span>
<span>Φ = 4.8937 = 4.9 V.m </span>
<span>DISPLACEMENT CURRENT </span>
<span>we use the following equation: </span>
<span>I = { ε / R } { e^(-t/RC) } </span>
<span>I = { 22 / 160 } { e^(- 0.5 * 10^-9 / 160 *3.10 * 10^-12 ) } </span>
<span>I = { 0.1375 } { 0.365 } </span>
<span>I = 0.0502 A = 0.05 A </span>
