A cannon fires a shell straight upward; 1.6 s after it is launched, the shell is moving upward with a speed of 19 m/s. Assuming

air resistance is negligible, find the speed (magnitude of velocity) of the shell at launch and 5.5 s after the launch.

Answer:

-19.259m/s

Explanation:

Given;

Final velocity = 19m/s

time t = 1.6s

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

Using the equation of motion to first get the initial velocity of the shell:

v = u-gt

19 = u - (9.81)(1.6)

19 = u - 15.696

u = 19+15.696

u = 34.696m/s

The initial velocity of the shell is 34.696m/s

Next is to find the speed of the shell 5.5s after the launch

Using the equation of motion:

v = u-gt

v = 34.696-9.81(5.5)

v = 34.696 - 53.955

v = -19.259m/s

<em>The negative value of the velocity shows that the velocity is travelling in the downward direction</em>

Q. No. 9 A body falls freely from the top of a tower and during the last second of its fall, it falls through 25m. Find the heig
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

45.6m

Explanation:

The equation for the position y of an object in free fall is:

y=-\frac{1}{2} gt^2+v_0t+y_0

With the given values in the question the equation has one unknown v₀:

v_0=\frac{y-y_0}{t}+\frac{1}{2}gt

Solving for t=1:

1) v_0=y-y_0+\frac{g}{2}

To find the hight of the tower you can use the concept of energy conservation:

The energy of the body 1 sec before it hits the ground:

2) E=\frac{1}{2}m{v_0}^2+mgy_0

If h is the height of the tower, the energy on top of the tower:

3) E=mgh

Combining equation 2 and 3 and solving for h:

4) h=\frac{{v_0}^2}{2g}+y_0

Combining equation 1 and 4:

h=\frac{{(y-y_0+\frac{g}{2}})^2}{2g}+y_0

Water occupies two main fluid compartments within the body, the intracellular fluid compartment and the extracellular fluid comp
nadezda [96]

Answer:

C. Approx. Two thirds of the water is in the ICF compartment

Explanation:

The body cells are bathed in fluids internally and externally. The water inside the cells make up about 42% of the total body weight and is called the intracellular fluid (ICF). The rest of the fluid outside the cells is called extracellular fluid (ECF) and is separated from the intracellular fluid by a semipermeable membrane that surrounds the cell, and only allows fluid to flow in and out of the cells, but prevents unwanted molecules or materials from getting in.

What affect does doubling the net force have on the acceleration of the object (when
Triss [41]
<h3>Answer: The acceleration doubles</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

Consider a mass of 10 kg, so m = 10

Let's say we apply a net force of 20 newtons, so F = 20

The acceleration 'a' is...

F = ma

20 = 10a

20/10 = a

2 = a

a = 2

The acceleration is 2 m/s^2. Every second, the velocity increases by 10 m/s.

---------------

Now let's double the net force on the object

F = 20 goes to F = 40

m = 10 stays the same

F = ma

40 = 10a

10a = 40

a = 40/10

a = 4

The acceleration has also doubled since earlier it was a = 2, but now it's a = 4.

---------------

In summary, if you double the net force applied to the object, then the acceleration doubles as well.
