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.

A length change 0.08 m will occur for an object that is L= 56 m long. If the coefficient of thermal expansion is5.3 x 10 /C and
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Increase in temperature =  269.54 °C

Explanation:

We have equation for thermal expansion

          ΔL = LαΔT

Change in length, ΔL = 0.08 m

Length, L = 56 m

Coefficient of thermal expansion, α = 5.3 x 10⁻⁶ °C⁻1

Change in temperature, ΔT = T - 253

Substituting

          0.08 = 56 x 5.3 x 10⁻⁶ x (T - 253)

         (T - 253) = 269.54

           T = 522.54 °C

Increase in temperature =  269.54 °C

a glass bottle of soda is sealed with a screw cap the absolute pressure of the gas inside the bottle is 1.80*10^5 pa. assuming t
eduard

The force exerted by a pressure of any gas over a surface its given by the formula P=F/S (where P is pressure, F force and S surface).

We can multiply both sides of the formula by S to obtain the force.

P*S=(F*S)/S

P*S=F

Solve for P=1.80*10^5 Pa and S=4.10*10^-4 m^2 ([Pa] =[N/m^s])

(1.80*10^5 N/m^s) * (4.10*10^-4 m^2) =F

73.8 N =F

Prior Knowledge Questions (Do these BEFORE using the Gizmo.)A buoy is anchored to the ocean floor. A large wave approaches the b
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

bounce up and down

Explanation:

Buoys are used for two main reasons, one is to let the people on land know of a big incoming wave, while the second reason is to generate electricity. When a big wave is approaching the buoy starts to bounce up and down with the strength of the smalled previous waves and then bounce very strongly up as the bigger wave passes by. This movement is combined with pistons within the buoy in order to conduct electricity.

One drawback of dams is that they can flood land upstream from the dam and reduce water flow downstream from the dam. Question 2
vivado [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

It can cause flooding and destruction of habitat because of dammed rivers create large reservoirs upstream which can spill out to the surrounding during heavy rainfall causing flooding and destruction of natural habitat.
