Answer:

3.83 s

Explanation:

Initially for 50 m A falls with acceleration equal to g ie 9.8 m /s².In this journey his initial velocity u = 0 , a = 9.8 , v = ? , t = ?

h = ut + 1/ 2 g t²

50 = .5 x 9.8x t²

t = 3.19 s

v = u +gt

= o + 9.8 x 3.19

= 31.26 m /s

For motion under deceleration

initial speed  u = 31.26 m/s

Final speed v = 14 m/s

deceleration a = - 27 m/s²

v = u - at

14 = 31.26 - 27 t

t = 0.64 s

So total time in the air

= 3.19 + .64 = 3.83 s

A 1.5kg cannon is loaded with a 0.52 kg ball . The cannon is ignited and launches the ball forward with speed of 75m/s. Determin
Mila [183]

Answer:

-26 m/s (backward)

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum.

In fact, the total momentum momentum of the cannon + ball system must be conserved before and after the explosion.

Before the explosion, they are both at rest, so the total momentum is zero:

p = 0

After the explosion, the total momentum is:

p=MV+mv

where

M = 1.5 kg is the mass of the cannon

m = 0.52 kg is the mass of the ball

v = +75 m/s is the velocity of the ball

V is the velocity of the cannon

Since the momentum is conserved, we can equate the two expressions:

0=MV+mv

And solving, we find V:

V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(0.52)(+75)}{1.5}=-26 m/s

where the negative sign means the direction is opposite to that of the ball.
