Answer:

v' = -0.0906 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of cannon, M = 2240 Kg

mass of the ball, m = 15.5 Kg

speed of cannon ball, v = 131 m/s

speed of he cannon = ?

initial speed of cannon and the cannon ball is equal to 0 m/s

using conservation of energy

(M+m)V = M v' + m v

(M+m) x 0= 22400 v' + 15.5 x 131

22400 v' = -2030.5

v' = -0.0906 m/s

negative sign represent the canon will move in opposite direction of the ball.

hence, speed of cannon is equal to 0.0906 m/s

You are given two unknown point charges, Q1, and Q2. At a point on the line joining them, one third of the way from Q1 to Q2 the
podryga [215]
The formula that is applicable here is E = kQ/r^2 in which the energy of attraction is proportional to the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance. In this case, 
kQ1/(r1)^2 = kQ2/(r2)^2  r1=l/3, r2=2l/3solve Q1/Q2
kQ1/(l/3)^2 = kQ2/(2l/3)^2  kQ1/(l^2/9) = kQ2/(4l^2/9)Q1/Q2 =   1/4

What’s The Answer, To The Question In The Photo
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is the third option: The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.

Explanation:

Temperature is, in depth, a statistical value; kind of an average of the particles movement in any physical system (such as a glass filled with water). Kinetic energy, for sure, is the energy resulting from movement (technically depending on mass and velocity of a system; in other words, the faster something moves, the greater its kinetic energy.

Since temperature is related to the total average random movement in a system, and so is the kinetic energy (related to movement through velocity), as the thermometer measures <u>less temperature</u>, that would mean that the particles (in this case: water particles) are <u>moving slowly</u>, so that: the slower something moves, the lower its kinetic energy.

<u>In summary:</u> temperature tells about how fast are moving and colliding the particles within a system, and since it is <em>directly proportional</em> to the amount of movement, it can be related (also <em>directly proportional</em>) to the kinectic energy.
