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)

Semenov [28]
Force equals mass times acceleration. Or:
F=ma
Plug it in:
5=10a
5/10=(10a)/10
.5m/s²=a

Saturn has an orbital period of 29.46 years. In two or more complete sentences, explain how to calculate the average distance fr
d1i1m1o1n [39]
For astronomical objects, the time period can be calculated using:
T² = (4π²a³)/GM
where T is time in Earth years, a is distance in Astronomical units, M is solar mass (1 for the sun)
Thus,
T² = a³
a = ∛(29.46²)
a = 0.67 AU
1 AU = 1.496 × 10⁸ Km
0.67 * 1.496 × 10⁸ Km
= 1.43 × 10⁹ Km
