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

FinnZ [79.3K]

The mass of Jupitar is obtained from the calculations as 5.8 * 10^-14 Kg.

<h3>What is the mass of Jupitar?</h3>

There are nine planets in the solar system and the sun lies at the enter of our solar system. This is the heliocentric model of the solar system.

Given that;

T^2 = GMr^3/4π

T = period

G = gravitational constant

r = radius

M = mass of Jupitar

Now;

1 day = 86400 seconds

1.77 days = 1.77 days *  86400 seconds/1 day

= 152928 seconds

Making M the subject of the formula;

M =4πT^2/Gr^3

M = 4 * 3.142 * (152928)^2/6.67 × 10^-11 * (422 × 10^9)^3

M = 2.9 * 10^11/5.0 * 10^24

M = 5.8 * 10^-14 Kg

The velocity of a 0.25kg model rocket changes from 15m/s [up] to 40m/s [up] in
vivado [14]

The force the escaping gas exerts of the rocket is 10.42 N.

<h3>Force escaping gas exerts</h3>

The force the escaping gas exerts of the rocket is calculated as follows;

F = m(v - u)/t

where;

  • m is mass of the rocket
  • v is the final velocity of the rocket
  • u is the initial velocity of the rocket
  • t is time of motion

F = (0.25)(40 - 15)/0.6

F = 10.42 N

Thus, the force the escaping gas exerts of the rocket is 10.42 N.
