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

What are some ways you can vary your tone of voice to help you communicate effectively with others? A. Speaking aggressively
Leno4ka [110]
The answer is D, talking more loudly or quietly.
<span>
An expressive voice can bring totally different meaning to what you are saying. If you speak in a monotone voice, you are implying that you do not care about what you are saying or what the other person is talking about. If you speak expressively with some parts quieter or louder to make a point, it lets the listener know that you care about what you are saying and you care about what they have to say too. You can also emphasize a point by speaking louder or indicate that something is not as important by speaking softer.</span>

Compare the frequency, wavelength, and radiant energy of yellow visible light to that of purple visible light.
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Violet has a higher frequency (approximately 7.5×1014 Hz 7.5 × 10 14 Hz ) than red light (approximately 4.3×1014 Hz 4.3 × 10 14 Hz ). Since the speed of both waves is the same, we infer that violet has a shorter wavelength (400 nm ) than red (700 nm ).

Who invented the wedge simple machine and why?
Lelu [443]

Answer:

Gene Sarazen began to win tournaments in 1935 with a new club he had invented that was specialized for sand play. He is hailed as the inventor of the sand wedge.

Explanation:

A wedge is a triangular shaped tool, and is a portable inclined plane, and one of the six classical simple machines. It can be used to separate two objects or portions of an object, lift up an object, or hold an object in place. It functions by converting a force applied to its blunt end into forces perpendicular (normal) to its inclined surfaces. The mechanical advantage of a wedge is given by the ratio of the length of its slope to its width.[1][2] Although a short wedge with a wide angle may do a job faster, it requires more force than a long wedge with a narrow angle.

The force is applied on a flat, broad surface. This energy is transported to the pointy, sharp end of the wedge, hence the force is transported.

The wedge simply transports energy and collects it to the pointy end, consequently breaking the item. In this way, much pressure is put on a thin area.
