Answer:

9 m/s

Explanation:

mass of cannon, M = 100 kg

mass of cannon ball, m = 10 kg

velocity of cannon ball, v = 90 m/s

Let the recoil velocity of cannon is V.

Us ethe conservation of linear momentum, as no external force is acting on the system, so the linear momentum of the system is conserved.

Momentum before the firing = momentum after the firing

M x 0 + m x 0 = M x V + m x v

0 = 100 x V + 10 x 90

V = - 9 m/s

Thus, the recoil velocity of cannon is 9 m/s.

Initial momentum = 2 * m v

so if 1 ball popped out with 2 v momentum would be conserved

but the initial kinetic energy of the two balls is

1/2 m v^2 + 1/2 m v^2 = m v^2

But the kinetic energy of one ball with twice the speed would be

KE = 1/2 m (2 v)^2 = 2 m v^2 thus violating conservation of energy

A medicine ball has a mass of 5 kg and is thrown with a speed of 2 m/s. what is its kinetic energy?

Fantom [35]

The kinetic energy of the ball is given by:
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where m=5 kg is the mass of the ball and v=2 m/s is its speed. Substituting these numbers, we find the kinetic energy:
$K= \frac{1}{2} (5kg)(2m/s)^2=10 J$

A car is designed to get its energy from a rotating

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

(a). The kinetic energy stored in the fly wheel is 46.88 MJ.

(b). The time is 1.163 hours.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 1.50 m

Mass = 475 kg

Power $P= 15.0 hp = 15.0\times746=11190 watt$

Rotational speed = 4000 rev/min

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

$I=\dfrac{1}{2}mr^2$

Put the value into the formula

$I=\dfrac{1}{2}\times475\times(1.50)^2$

$I=534.375\ kg m^2$

(a). We need to calculate the kinetic energy stored in the fly wheel

Using formula of K.E

$K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

Put the value into the formula

$K.E = \dfrac{1}{2}\times534.375\times(4000\times\dfrac{2\pi}{60})^2$

$K.E=46880620.9\ J$

$K.E =46.88\times10^{6}\ J$

$K.E =46.88\ MJ$

(b). We need to calculate the length of time the car could run before the flywheel would have to be brought backup to speed

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{46.88\times10^{6}}{11190}$

$t=4189.45\ sec$

$t=1.163\ hours$

Hence, (a). The kinetic energy stored in the fly wheel is 46.88 MJ.

(b). The time is 1.163 hours.

Scrat [10]

Metal ores

Explanation:

in an area where subduction has occurred in times past, metal ores are likely to be found.

Metallic ores find subduction zone regions very favorable to crystallize out of a magma.

Ores have different modes of formation.
Typically, they are found in hydrothermal vents and black smokers of igneous intrusives.
These are igneous terrains where metallic sulfides and other minerals crystallize out of magmatic body.
Metals in magma usually have large sizes and do not partition easily in the melt.

At a subduction zone, partial melting of the subducting plate forces magma into nearby country rock as an intrusive and to the ocean floor where they form black smokers.
