A cannonball with a mass of 1.0 kilogram is fired horizontally from a 500.-kilogram cannon, initially at rest, on a horizontal,

frictionless surface. The cannonball is acted on by an average force of 8.0 × 10 3 newtons for 1.0 × 10 −1 second. What is the magnitude of the change in momentum of the cannonball during firing?

The impulse J is equal to the magnitude of the force applied to the cannonball times the time it is applied:
J=F \Delta t
But the impulse is also equal to the change in momentum of the cannonball:
J=\Delta p
If we put the two equations together, we find
F \Delta t= \Delta p
And since we know the magnitude of the average force and the time, we can calculate the change in momentum:
\Delta p= F \Delta t=(8.0 \cdot 10^3 N)(1.0 \cdot 10^{-1} s)=800 kg m/s

lesya [120]

Answer:

197.76 m

Explanation:

r = Radius of the path = 20.6 km = 20.6\times 10^3\ m

\theta = The angle subtended by moon = 9.6\times 10^{-3}\ rad

Distance traveled is given by

s=r\times\theta

\Rightarrow s=20.6\times 10^3\times 9.6\times 10^{-3}

\Rightarrow s=197.76\ m

The distance traveled by the jet is 197.76 m
