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

2 ways in which the effects of friction can be minimised in the experiment​
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Friction can be minimized by using lubricants like oil and grease and by using ball bearing between machine parts. A substance that is introduced between two surfaces in contact, to reduce friction, is called a lubricant. Fluid friction can be minimized by giving suitable shapes to the objects moving in the fluids.

Answer:

      Δy= 5,075 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

The expression that describes the interference phenomenon is

      d sin θ = (m + ½) λ

As the observation is on a distant screen

     tan θ = y / x

     tan θ= sin θ/cos θ

As in ethanes I will experience the separation of the vines is small and the distance to the big screen

          tan θ = sin θ

Let's replace

     d y / x = (m + ½) λ

The width of a bright stripe at the difference in distance  

     y₁ = (m + ½) λ x / d

     m = 1

      y₁ = 3/2 λ x / d

Let's use m = 1, we look for the following interference,

             m = 2

             y₂ = (2+ ½) λ x / d

The distance to the screen is constant x₁ = x₂ = x₀

The width of the bright stripe is

           Δy = λ x / d (5/2 -3/2)

           Δy = 630 10⁻⁹ 2.90 /0.360 10⁻³ (1)

           Δy= 5,075 10⁻⁶ m
