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

Which of the following are possible causes of mass extinctions that scientists have identified
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

over harvesting, pollution, introduction of invasive species such as new predators and food competitors

Explanation:

The main cause of mass extinction is Humans cause extinction of a species through overharvesting. The second main  cause is pollution ., introduction of invasive species such as new predators and food competitors, habitat destruction, overhunting and other influences. Another very important cause of mass extinction is the unsustainable human population growth.

The five mass extinction events are

Ordovician Mass Extinction

Devonian Mass Extinction

 Permian Mass Extinction

Triassic -Jurassic Mass Extinction

and Cretaceous -Tertiary (or the K-T) Mass Extinction.

5. a stone propelled from a catapult with a speed of 50 m/s attains a height of 100m. Calculate
omeli [17]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2 s</h3>

Explanation:

The time of flight can be found by using the formula

t =  \frac{d}{v}  \\

d is the distance covered

v is the velocity

From the question we have

t =  \frac{100}{50}  =  \frac{10}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>2 s</h3>

Hope this helps you

When a snowball turns into a puddle of
In-s [12.5K]

When a snowball turns into a puddle of water, we know that (the snow ball gains energy and changes from a solid to liquid).

This is correct due to the fact that particles of the snowball are gaining speed and so it is heating up, when the solid's temperature reaches the melting point, it will become a liquid.

Therefore, D is the correct answer.

A toy plane has a mass of 2.5 kg and is 18 m above the ground. It is moving at 4.5 m/s. How much mechanical energy does the toy
sleet_krkn [62]
Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy, or E=Ek+Ep. So Ek=(1/2)*m*v² where m is the mass of the object and v is it's velocity. Mp=m*g*h where m is the mass, g=9.81 m/s² and h is the height of the object. So after we input the numbers the total mechanical energy is
E=(1/2)*2.5*(4.5²) + 2.5*9.81*18 = 25.3125 J + 441.45 J = 466.7625 J. The correct answer is E= 466 J.
