A cannon of mass 5.71 x 103 kg is rigidly bolted to the earth so it can recoil only by a negligible amount. The cannon fires a 7

3.5-kg shell horizontally with an initial velocity of 547 m/s. Suppose the cannon is then unbolted from the earth, and no external force hinders its recoil. What would be the velocity of a shell fired from this loose cannon

Answer:

541.14 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of cannon=m_1=5.71\times 10^3 kg

Mass of shell,m_2=73.5 kg

Initial velocity of shell,v=547 m/s

We have to find the velocity of shell fired from this loose cannon.

According to law of conservation of momentum

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2

Initial momentum of system=0

m_1v_1=-m_2v_2

v_1=-\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1}

When the cannon is bolted to the ground then only shell moves and kinetic energy of system equals to kinetic energy of shell

Kinetic energy of shell,K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 73.5(547)^2}=1.09\times 10^7 J

K.E of shell=\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_1+\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2_2

K.E of shell=\frac{1}{2}m_1(-\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1})^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2_2

K.E of shell=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{m^2_2v^2_2}{m_1}+\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2_2)

2K.E of shell=m_2v^2_2(\frac{m_2}{m_1}+1)

Velocity of shell fired from this loose cannon,v_2=\sqrt{\frac{2k.E}{m_2(\frac{m_2}{m_1}+1)}

v_2=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.09\times 10^7}{73.5(\frac{73.5}{5.71\times 10^3}+1)}

v_2=541.14m/s

Hence, the velocity of shell fired from this loose cannon would be 541.14 m/s

A marshmallow is dropped from a 5.71 meter high pedestrian bridge, and 0.921 seconds later, it lands right on the head of an uns
Natalka [10]

let the height of the person with marshmallow on her head be "h"

consider the motion of the marshmallow after it is dropped from bridge.

Y₀ = initial position of the marshmallow above the ground = 5.71 m

Y = final position of marshmallow on head of person = h

v₀ = initial velocity of the marshmallow = 0 m/s

a = acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²

t = time of travel for marshmallow = 0.921 sec

Using the kinematics equation

Y = Y₀ + v₀ t + (0.5) a t²

inserting the values

h = 5.71 + 0 (0.921) + (0.5) (-9.8) (0.921)²

h = 5.71 - 4.16

h = 1.55 m

Answer:

Measurement is a comparison of an unknown quantity with a known fixed quantity of the same kind. The value obtained on measuring a quantity is called its magnitude. The magnitude of a quantity is expressed as numbers in its unit.

Particle A has half the mass and eight times the kinetic energy of particle B. What is the speed ratio vA / vB?
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Use the equation "KE=½mv²", and use some algebra. > "Particle A has two times the mass...of particle B" mA = 2mB > "Particle A has...8 situations the kinetic power of particle B" KE_A = 8(KE_B) or: ½(mA)(vA)² = 8(½(mB)(vB)²) the rest is uncomplicated algebra: in basic terms sparkling up the above equation for "vA/vB". (hint: start up by utilising dividing the two factors by utilising "(mB)(vB)²". Then make the substitution: mA/mB = 2 (from the 1st eq0.5 ma *  VA^2 = 8 * 0.5 * mb * VB^2

0.5 * 0.5*mb *  VA^2 = 8 * 0.5 * mb * VB^2

0.5 * 0.5*  VA^2 = 8 * 0.5 * VB^2

VA/VB = 4uation))
