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

1 answer:
Gala2k [10]3 years ago

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)

What information and measurements would you need to calculate the rate of movement?
aliina [53]
When you talk about rate, you will expect that it will be in terms of a time unit. It measures how fast it is going. So, you would expect that the denominator is in time units. For the movement, you can measure this with either distance or velocity.

So, for the first variety, you would need distance and time to measure the rate of how far you go at a certain time. It is also called as velocity. For the second variety, you would need velocity and time to measure the rate of how fast you are going at a certain interval. It is also called as acceleration.

Determine the mechanical energy of this object a 1-kg ball rolls on the ground at <br> m/s
dedylja [7]
Mechanical energy = potential energy + kinetic energy
The ball is on the ground so it has no potential energy. that's all i know.

If a satellite weighs 321 lb. on the earth's surface (R = 4,000 miles), how much does it weigh 12,000 miles above the surface? (
Sever21 [200]

The gravitational force between the Earth and the satellite (its "weight") is inversely proportional to the distance between the centers of both objects.

On the surface, their centers are separated by 1 Earth radius.

12,000 miles above the surface, they're separated by 4 Earth radiii.

(4/1) = 4

So after the move, the satellite's weight is (1/4²) = 1/16 of its surface weight.

(321 lb) / (16) = (20 and a hair) lb

The correct choice from the given list is " <em>>20 lb "</em> .
