hmax = 5740.48 m. The maximum height that a cannonball fired at 420 m/s at a 53.0° angles is 5740.48m.

This is an example of parabolic launch. A cannonball is fired on flat ground at 420 m/s at a 53.0° angle and we have to calculate the maximum height that it reach.

V₀ = 420m/s and θ₀ = 53.0°

So, when the cannonball is fired it has horizontal and vertical components:

V₀ₓ = V₀ cos θ₀ = (420m/s)(cos 53°) = 252.76 m/s

V₀y = V₀ cos θ₀ = (420m/s)(cos 53°) = 335.43m/s

When the cannoball reach the maximum height the vertical velocity component is zero, that happens in a tₐ time:

Vy = V₀y - g tₐ = 0

tₐ = V₀y/g

tₐ = (335.43m/s)/(9.8m/s²) = 34.23s

Then, the maximum height is reached in the instant tₐ = 34.23s:

h = V₀y tₐ - 1/2g tₐ²

hmax = (335.43m/s)(34.23s)-1/2(9.8m/s²)(34.23s)²

hmax = 11481.77m - 5741.29m

hmax = 5740.48m

What is the shadow zone of an earth quake?

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

It is the area on opposite side of the earth from an earthquake where no s waves are picked up by seismographs.

Explanation:

Shadow zone of an earthquake is one which is farthest from the epicenter. Hence it is not the area closest to earthquake.

In shadow zone only the S waves are stopped by whereas P waves through refracted, travel through and are measured in seismograph. Hence it is an area where there are few seismographs.

The zone is not constant and each epicenter has its own shadow zone. The shadow zone was caused by the inability of s waves to pass through the liquids. This proved the presence of liquid layer in earth's core. Hence the shadow zone is not the outer molten core of earth but the zone was caused by the molten core.

Hence the shadow zone of an earth quake is the area on opposite side of the earth from an earthquake where no s waves are picked up by seismographs.

What's the meaning of quantum entanglement?

spayn [35]

Answer:

the phenomenon whereby a pair of particles are generated in such a way that the individual quantum states of each are indefinite until measured, and the act of measuring one determines the result of measuring the other, even when at a distance from each other.

Answer:

$4.12\times 10^{-5}\ J$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Capacitance, $C=1.4\times 10^{-7}\ F$

Charge stored in the capacitor, $Q=3.4\times 10^{-6}\ C$

We need to find the electric potential energy stored in the capacitor. The formula for the electric potential energy stored in the capacitor is given by :

$E=\dfrac{Q^2}{2C}$

Put all the values,

$E=\dfrac{(3.4\times 10^{-6})^2}{2\times 1.4\times 10^{-7}}\\\\=4.12\times 10^{-5}\ J$

So, the required electric potential eenergy is equal to $4.12\times 10^{-5}\ J$ .
