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.

If two twins (54 kg each) were 0.02 m apart, what is the force of gravity between them?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Force, F=4.86\times 10^{-4}\ N

Explanation:

We have,

Masses of two twins are 54 kg each

They are placed at a distance of 0.02 m

It is required to find the force of gravity between them. The formula used to find the gravitational force between masses is given by :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{r^2}

plugging all the known values:

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{54^2}{(0.02)^2}\\\\F=4.86\times 10^{-4}\ N

So, the force of gravity between them is 4.86\times 10^{-4}\ N.

Thermal energy is transferred to a substance. Which change can occur?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The temperature scale on which water freezes at 0 and boils at 100. Thermal energy that is transferred from one substance to another; moves from warmer to cooler objects. The transfer of heat by direct contact; occurs when energy is transferred by collisions between particles.

What is the function of hammer and anvil in human ear
MArishka [77]

Answer:

Vibrations of the eardrum are in turn translated into oscillations of tiny bones (ossicles) found within the middle ear. The Hammer, Anvil, and Stirrup magnify the oscillations and relay this information to the chamber of the inner ear.

Future space rockets might propel themselves by firing laser beams, rather than exhaust gases, out the back. The acceleration wo
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Acceleration = 0.0282 m/s^2

Distance = 13.98 * 10^12 m

Explanation:

we will apply the energy theorem

work done = ΔK.E ( change in Kinetic energy )  ---- ( 1 )

<em>where :</em>

work done = p * t

                  = 15 * 10^6 watts * ( 1 year ) = 473040000 * 10^6 J

( note : convert 1 year to seconds )

and ΔK.E = 1/2 mVf^2   given ; m = 1200 kg  and initial V = 0

<u>back to equation 1 </u>

473040000 * 10^6  = 1/2 mv^2

Vf^2 = 2(473040000 * 10^6 ) / 1200

∴ Vf = 887918.92 m/s

<u>i) Determine how fast the rocket is ( acceleration of the rocket )</u>

a = Vf / t

  = 887918.92 / ( 1 year )

  = 0.0282 m/s^2

<u>ii) determine distance travelled by rocket </u>

Vf^2 - Vi^2 = 2as

Vi = 0

hence ; Vf^2 = 2as

s ( distance ) =  Vf^2 / ( 2a )

                     = ( 887918.92 )^2 / ( 2 * 0.0282 )

                    = 13.98 * 10^12 m
