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

If the price of gasoline at a particular station in Europe is 5 euros per liter. An American student in Europe is allowed to use
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

Number of gallons =2 gallon

Explanation:

given data:

rate of gasoline ineurope = 5 euro per liter

total money to buy gasoline =  40 euro

total gasoline an american can buy in europe = \frac{40}{5}

= 8 litres of gasoline

As given in the question 1 ltr is 1 quarts therefore  

Total no. of quarts is 8 quarts

As from question 4 quarts is equal to one gallon, hence

Number of gallons= \frac{8}{4} = 2 gallon

The electron gun in a television tube accelerates electrons (mass = 9.11x10^-31 kg, charge = 1.6 x 10^-19C) from rest to 3 x10^7
stich3 [128]

Answer:

Electric field acting on the electron is  127500 N/C.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of an electron, m=9.11\times 10^{-31}\ kg

Charge on electron, q=1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C

Initial speed of electron, u = 0

Final speed of electron, v=3\times 10^7\ m/s

Distance covered, s = 2 cm = 0.02 m

We need to find the electric field required. Firstly, we will find the acceleration of the electron from third equation of motion as :

a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}

a=\dfrac{(3\times 10^7)^2-0}{2\times 0.02}

a=2.25\times 10^{16}\ m/s^2

According to Newton's law, force acting on the electron is given by :

F = ma

F=9.1\times 10^{-31}\times 2.25\times 10^{16}

F=2.04\times 10^{-14}\ N

Electric force is given by :

F = q E, E = electric field

E=\dfrac{F}{q}

E=\dfrac{2.04\times 10^{-14}}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}

E = 127500 N/C

So, the electric field is 127500 N/C. Hence, this is the required solution.

What substances are acidic
Sedbober [7]
A substance with LOW pH. The lower the pH, the higher the acidity level is. pH has a direct effect on how acidic a substance is. For an example, battery acid. Battery acid has a pH level of about 1. This means that battery acid is very acidic. A substance is concidered acidic when it dips below the neutral pH level of 7.

How are fission and fusion similar?
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Fusion and fission are similar in that they both release large amounts of energy. Nuclear fusion is a process in which two nuclei join to form a larger nucleus. Nuclear fission is a process in which a nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei.
