First, we calculate the horizontal and vertical components of the firing velocity.
Vx = 89cos(40)
Vx = 68.2 m/s
Vy = 89sin(40)
Vy = 57.2 m/s
The time of flight for the cannon ball can be obtained by dividing its horizontal distance covered by horizontal velocity.
t = 300/68.2
t = 4.40 s
Using 
s = ut + 0.5at²
for the vertical direction
s = 57.2 × 4.40 + (-9.81)(4.40)²
s = 61.8 m is the height at which the cannon ball hits the wall

Vo = 89 m/s
angle: 40°

=> Vox = Vo * cos 40° = 89 * cos 40°

=> Voy = Vo. sin 40° = 89 * sin 40°

x-movement: uniform => x =Vox * t = 89*cos(40)*t

x = 300 m => t = 300m / [89m/s*cos(40) = 4.4 s

y-movement: uniformly accelerated => y = Voy * t - g*t^2 /2

y = 89m/s * sin(40) * (4.4s) - 9.m/s^2 * (4.4)^2 / 2 = 156.9 m = height the ball hits the wall.

What evidence did wegener have to support his theory of plate tectonics?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Wegener first thought of this idea by noticing that the different large landmasses of the Earth almost fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. The continental shelf of the Americas fits closely to Africa and Europe, and other continents showed the same trend. Wegner also analyzed both sides of the Atlantic Ocean for rock type, geological structures and fossils and noticed that there was a significant similarity between matching sides of the continents, especially in fossil plants.

A volleyball player’s hand applies a 39 N force while in contact with a volleyball for 2 seconds. What is the impulse on the bal
nikklg [1K]
Given:
F = 39 N, the force applied
t = 2 s, the time interval in which the force is applied.

By definition, the impulse is
I = \int_{0}^{2} F(t) dt = \int _{0}^{2} 39dt = 39*2=78 \, N-s

Answer: 78 N-s

g 1. A mass undergoing simple harmonic motion along the x-axis has a period of T = 0.5 s and an amplitude of 25 mm. Its position
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

Amplitude A = 14 mm , angular frequency ω = 2π / T

= 2π / .5

ω = 4π rad /s

φ₀ = initial phase

Putting the given values in the equation

14 = 25 cos(ωt + φ₀ )

14/25 = cosφ₀

φ₀ = 56 degree

x(t) = 25cos(4πt + 56° )

b )

maximum velocity = ω A

=  4π  x 25

100 x 3.14 mm /s

= 314 mm /s

At x = 0 ( equilibrium position or middle point , this velocity is achieved. )

maximun acceleration = ω² A

= 16π² x A

= 16 x 3.14² x 25

= 3943.84 mm / s²

3.9 m / s²

It occurs at x = A or at extreme position.

The world record for a woman running a marathon is approximately 2.25 hours. If a marathon's distance is 26.2 miles (42164.81 me
netineya [11]

Answer:

11.6mph South East

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time = 2.25hrs

Displacement  = 26.2miles south east

Unknown:

Velocity = ?

Solution:

Velocity is the displacement divided by the time taken. It is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction.

 Now;

       Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time taken}

       Velocity  = \frac{26.2}{2.25}   = 11.6mph South East
