A 90kg cannon fires 100kg shell with muzzle velocity of 75m/s. Calculate the recoil velocity of the cannon relative to the groun

Answer: 83.8 m/s

Explanation:

momentum of shell = momentum of cannon

M(s) × V(s) = M(c) × V(c)

M(s) = mass of shell, V(s) = velocity of shell

M(c) = mass of cannon, V(c) = velocity of cannon

100kg × 75m/s = 90kg × V(c)

7500 = 90 × V(c)

7500 ÷ 90 = V(c)

83.3 = V(c)

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Acceleration=0.5m/s^2

Speed=0.67 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Horizontal force=F=20 N

Mass of box=m=40 kg

We know that

Acceleration=a=\frac{F}{m}

Using the formula

Acceleration of box=\frac{20}{40}=0.5m/s^2

The acceleration of the box=0.5m/s^2

Initial velocity=u=0

Force=F=30 N

Distance=s=0.3 m

a=\frac{30}{40}=\frac{3}{4} ms^{-2}

v^2-u^2=2as

Substitute the values

v^2-0=2\times \frac{3}{4}\times 0.3=0.45

v^2=0.45

v=\sqrt{0.45}=0.67m/s

Hence, the speed of the box after it has  been pulled a distance of 0.3 m=0.67 m/s

David moves a 350 N bucket with 175 N of force using a pulley. What mechanical advantage does he have when using the pulley?
NikAS [45]

Answer:

the mechanical advantage David had when using the pulley is 2.

Explanation:

Given;

load moved by David, L = 350 N

effort applied by David, E = 175 N

The mechanical advantage David had when using the pulley is calculated as;

M.A = \frac{Load}{Effort} \\\\M.A = \frac{350}{175} \\\\M.A = 2

Therefore, the mechanical advantage David had when using the pulley is 2.
