The gun, mount, and train car of a railway had a total mass of 1.22 x 10^6 kg. The gun fired a projectile that was 80 cm in diam

eter and weighed 7502 kg. In the firing, the gun has been elevated 20 degrees above the horizontal. If the railway gun at rest before firing and moved to the right at a speed of 4.68 m/s immediately after firing, what was the speed of the projectile as it left the barrel (muzzle velocity)? How far will the projectile travel if air resistance is neglected? Assume that the wheel axles are frictionless.

1) According to the law of conservation of momentum .. 
<span>Horiz recoil mom of gun (M x v) = horiz. mon acquired by shell (m x Vh) </span>

<span>1.22^6kg x 5.0 m/s = 7502kg x Vh </span>
<span>Vh = 1.22^6 x 5 / 7502 .. .. Vh = 813 m/s </span>

<span>Barrel velocity V .. .. cos20 = Vh / V .. ..V = 813 /cos20 .. .. ►V = 865 m/s </span>

<span>2) Using the standard range equation .. R = u² sin2θ /g </span>

<span>R = 865² x sin40 / 9.80 .. .. ►R = 49077 m .. (49 km)</span>

What happens to the density of a fluid as the substance gains thernal energy
Natalka [10]

Density reduces

Explanation:

The density of a fluid will reduce as a substance gains more thermal energy. Heat is a form of thermal energy usually noticed as temperature differences in a matter.

  • When thermal energy is gained by a body, the temperature of the body rises.
  • The particles of the medium gains more kinetic energy.
  • This causes the substance to expand and it has more volume.
  • When a substance expands, it occupies more space.
  • The more the volume a body occupies, the lesser the density.
  • Expansion does not change the mass of the fluid but the volume changes.
  • This is why density decreases.

Which statement describes why scientific notation is useful? It makes very small numbers into whole numbers. It converts fractio
disa [49]

It makes calculations with very large and small numbers easier.

Scientific notation is a system used in order to It makes calculations with very large and small numbers easier. It is useful as it allows very large number that would take a lot of space to write otherwise, and it allows them to be calculated easier. 10^{23} for example is a incredible large number, but written in this form is immediately understandable and useful for calculation.

True or False. The pressure inside a piston is the same in all directions.
Dominik [7]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Pascal's law says that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid will be transmitted without a change in magnitude to every point of the fluid and to the walls of the container. The pressure at any point in the fluid is equal in all directions.
