A revolutionary war cannon, with a mass of 2090 kg, fires a 16.7 kg ball horizontally. The cannonball has a speed of 113 m/s aft

er it has left the barrel. The cannon carriage is on a flat platform and is free to roll horizontally. What is the speed of the cannon immedi-ately after it was fired?
Answer in units of m/s

The same explosive charge is used, so the total energy of the cannon plus cannonball system remains the same. Disregarding friction, how much faster would the ball travel if the cannon were mounted rigidly and all other parameters re-mained the same?

Answer:

0.90291 m/s

0.45055 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of canon = 2090 kg

m_2 = Mass of ball = 16.7 kg

v_1 = Velocity of canon

v_2 = Velocity of ball = 113 m/s

In this system the momentum is conserved

m_1v_1=m_2v_2\\\Rightarrow v_1=\dfrac{16.7\times 113}{2090}\\\Rightarrow v_1=0.90291\ m/s

The velocity of the cannon is 0.90291 m/s

Applying energy conservation

\dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2=\dfrac{1}{2}m_2v^2\\\Rightarrow m_1v_1^2+m_2v_2^2=m_2v^2\\\Rightarrow v_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{m_1v_1^2+m_2v_2^2}{m_2}}\\\Rightarrow v_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{2090\times 0.90291^2+16.7\times 113^2}{16.7}}\\\Rightarrow v_2=113.45055\ m/s

The ball would travel 113.45055-113 = 0.45055 m/s faster

The net electric flux through a cubic box with sides that are 22.0 cm long is 4950 N⋅m2/C . What charge is enclosed by the box?
Bond [772]

Answer:

43.83 nC

Explanation:

We know Q = ε₀Ψ where Q = charge enclosed by the cubic box,  ε₀ = permittivity of free space = 8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m and Ψ = net electric flux through cubic box = 4950 Nm²/C

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

Q = ε₀Ψ

= 8.854 × 10⁻¹² F/m × 4950 Nm²/C

= 43827.3 × 10⁻¹² C = 4.38273 × 10⁻⁸ C

= 43.8273 × 10⁻⁹ C

= 43.8273 nC

≅ 43.83 nC

A car comes to a bridge during a storm and finds the bridge washed out. The driver must get to the other side, so he decides to
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 ) Let the initial horizontal velocity of car be v .

For vertical displacement

vertical displacement h = 21.3 - 2.3 = 19 m

Time taken to fall by 19 m be t

19 = 1/2 x 9.8 t² ( initial downward velocity is zero )

t = 1.97 s

This is also the time taken to cover horizontal displacement of 54 m which is width of river .

horizontal speed v = 54 / 1.97 m /s

v = 27.41 m /s

2 )

At the time of landing on other side , car will have both vertical and horizontal speed .

vertical speed

v = u + gt

= 0 + 9.8 x 1.97 = 19.31 m /s

horizontal speed will remain same as  the initial speed = 27.41 m /s

Resultant speed = √ ( 27.41² + 19.31² )

= √ ( 751.3 + 372.87)

= 33.52 m /s

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

a_{x}=0 v_{xo}= v_{o}cos(delta)t a_{y}=-g v_{yo}=sinθ

X-direction                                     | Y-direction

x=x_o+v_{xo}t ⇒ x=v_{xo}cos(delta)t |
