Answer:

V = 331.59m/s

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the time taken for the shell fire to hit the ground using the equation of motion.

S = ut + 1/2at²

Given height of the cliff S = 80m

initial velocity u = 0m/s²

a = g = 9.81m/s²

Substitute

80 = 0+1/2(9.81)t²

80 = 4.905t²

t² = 80/4.905

t² = 16.31

t = √16.31

t = 4.04s

Next is to get the vertical velocity

Vy = u + gt

Vy = 0+(9.81)(4.04)

Vy = 39.6324

Also calculate the horizontal velocity

Vx = 1330/4.04

Vx = 329.21m/s

Find the magnitude of the velocity to calculate speed of the shell as it hits the ground.

V² = Vx²+Vy²

V² = 329.21²+39.63²

V² = 329.21²+39.63²

V² = 108,379.2241+1,570.5369

V² = 109,949.761

V = √ 109,949.761

V = 331.59m/s

Hence the speed of the shell as it hits the ground is 331.59m/s

"There are two types of error that can occur when making measurements: systematic and random error. How you correct the error de
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Systematic error can be corrected using calibration of the measurement instrument, while random error can be corrected using an average measurement from a set of measurements.

Explanation:

Random errors lead to fluctuations around the true value as a result of difficulty taking measurements, whereas systematic errors lead to predictable and consistent departures from the true value due to problems with the calibration of your equipment.

Systematic error can be corrected, by calibration of the measurement instrument. Calibration is simply a procedure where the result of measurement recorded by an instrument is compared with the measurement result of a standard value.

Random error can be corrected using an average measurement from a set of measurements or by Increasing sample size.
