A revolutionary war cannon, with a mass of 2260 kg, fires a 15.5 kg ball horizontally. The cannonball has a speed of 109 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 immediately after it was fired? Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

The gain in velocity is 0.37m/s

Explanation:

We need solve this problem though the conservation of momentum. That is,

m_1 v_1 = m_2 v_2

m_1=2260Kg\\m_2=15.5Kg\\v_2= 109m/s

Using the equation to find v_1,

v_1=\frac{m_2 v_2}{m_1}\\v_1=\frac{15.5*109}{2260}\\v_1= 0.7475

Using the conservation of energy equation, we have,

KE= \frac{1}{2}m*v^2

KE_{cball}=\frac{1}{2}(15.5)(109)^2=92077.75J

KE_{cannon}=\frac{1}{2}(2260)(0.7475)^2=631.39J

Total KE= 92077.75+13425530=92708.9J

Now this energy over the cannonball

KE=\frac{1}{2}m*v_2^2

92708.9=\frac{1}{2}15.5v_2^2

V_2 = 109.37m/s

The gain in velocity is 0.37m/s

If the air temperature is greater than the surface (water or land) temperature, there will be a net transfer of thermal energy f
ruslelena [56]

The thermal energy will be transferred from the air to the surface. Hence, the answer is false.

Thermal energy can be transferred from higher temperatures to lower temperatures. It is obey the second law of thermodynamics

"At a very microscopic level, it simply says that if you have a system that is isolated, any natural process in that system progresses in the direction of increasing disorder, or entropy, of the system."

It means that heat energy transferred from the higher temperature and the lower temperature states will absorb heat energy from the surrounding. The thermal energy will be transferred through conduction, convection, or radiation.
