A 100kg cannon at rest contains a 10kgcannonball. when fired,

Physics
1 answer:

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.

Answer:

Energy transferred = 28.8 Joules.

1. Energy transferred = 144 Joules.

2. The unit of potential difference, volts can also be described as Joules per Coulombs.

3. Current, I = 6.945 Amperes.  

Explanation:

<u>Part A.</u>

Given the following data;

Current, I = 1.2A

Time, t = 2 minutes

Potential difference, V = 12 volts.

To find the energy transfered;

Energy transferred = charge moved * potential difference

E = Q * V

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Energy transferred = (1.2 * 2) * 12

Energy transferred = 2.4 * 12

Energy transferred = 28.8 Joules.

<u>Part B.</u>

1. <em><u>Given the following data;</u></em>

Charge, Q = 24C

Potential difference = 6V

To find the energy transferred;

E = Q * V

Substituting into the equation, we have;

E = 24 * 6

E = 144 Joules.

2. Since we know that, Energy transferred = charge moved * potential difference

Potential \; difference = \frac {Energy \; transferred}{Charged \; moved}

The units of energy is Joules while the unit of the quantity of charge moved is Coulomb.

Therefore, the unit of potential difference becomes Joules per Coulomb.

3. <em><u>Given the following data;</u></em>

Potential difference = 18V

Energy transferred = 500J

Time, t = 4 minutes.

To find the current;

E = Q * V

Substituting into the equation, we have;

500 = Q*18

Q = 500/18

Q = 27.78C

But, Charge moved (Q) = current (I) * time (t)

Current, I = Q/t

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Current, I = 27.78/4

Current, I = 6.945 Amperes..

During a particular time interval, the displacement of an object is equal to zero. Must the distance traveled by this object als
Gnom [1K]

Answer: No, we can have a displacement equal to 0 while the distance traveled is different than zero.

Explanation:

Ok, let's write the definitions:

Displacement: The displacement is equal to the difference between the final position and the initial position.

Distance traveled: Total distance that you moved.

So, for example, if at t = 0s, you are in your house, then you go to the store, and then you return to your house, we have:

The displacement is equal to zero, because the initial position is your house and the final position is also your house, so the displacement is zero.

But the distance traveled is not zero, because you went from you traveled the distance from your house to the store two times.

So no, we can have a displacement equal to zero, but a distance traveled different than zero.

A mother pushes a baby stroller 10 meters by applying 40 newtons of force. how much work was done?
topjm [15]
Based on the situation above the the work done was 400 Joules. <span>Q = FS cos(theta) is the so-called work function. It's important to learn the work physics; you'll see it over and over in science/physics class. Theta is the angle between the force vector F and the distance vector S. In your problem we assume theta = 0, the two vectors were assumed aligned.</span>
