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.

An unknown substance has a mass of 11.9 g . When the substance absorbs 1.071×102 J of heat, the temperature of the substance is
Mashcka [7]

Answer: The most likely identity of the substance is iron.

Explanation:

The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius is called the specific heat capacity.

Q=m\times c\times \Delta T

Q = Heat absorbed=1.071\times 10^2 Joules

m= mass of substance = 11.9 g

c = specific heat capacity = ?

Initial temperature of the water = T_i = 25.0°C

Final temperature of the water = T_f  = 45.0°CChange in temperature ,\Delta T=T_f-T_i=(45-25)^0C=20^0C

Putting in the values, we get:

1.071\times 10^2=11.9\times c\times 20^0C

c=0.45J/g^0C

The specific heat of 0.45 is for iron and thus the substance is iron.

An object with mass M is attached to the end of a string and is raised vertically at a constant acceleration of g 10 . If it has
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

Work done against gravity will be

W = Mgℓ

Explanation:

Work done to raise the mass from ground to given height is against gravity

So here work done is given by the formula

W = F.d

here we know that

F = Mg

it is the force due to gravity which is also known as weight

so here distance moved by the object is given as

d = ℓ

now work done is given as

W = Mg ℓ

A wooden plaque is in the shape of an ellipse with height 30 centimeters and width 22 centimeters. Find an equation for the elli
Volgvan

Answer:

Explanation:

height of Ellipse =30 cm  

i.e. 2 a=30

Width of Ellipse =22 cm

i.e. 2 b=22

Equation of a vertical Ellipse is

\frac{x^2}{b^2}+\frac{y^2}{a^2}=1

a=15 ,b =11

\frac{x^2}{11^2}+\frac{y^2}{15^2}=1

at y=4 cm

\frac{x^2}{11^2}+\frac{4^2}{15^2}=1  

x=\frac{11}{15}\times \sqrt{15^2-4^2}

x=10.6 cm

It's just asking you to sit down and COUNT the little squares in each sector.

It'll help you keep everything straight if you take a very sharp pencil and make a tiny dot in each square as you count it.  That way, you'll be able to see which ones you haven't counted yet, and also you won't count a square twice when you see that it already has a dot in it.

(If, by some chance, this is a picture of the orbit of a planet revolving around the sun ... as I think it might be ... then you should find that both sectors jhave the same number of squares.)
