Say you dropped a cannonball from the 17-meter mast of a ship sailing at 2 meters/second. How far from the base of the mast will

the ball land?

It should land at the base of the mast. the cannonball, whilst in your hand, is travelling at the same rate as the boat in the horizontal plane ie at 2m/s. as it leaves you hand it should retain that velocity and therefore land right underneath where it was dropped. this assumes all other things are equal, eg there is no air resistance etc that might cause the ball to accelerate or decelerate. <span>

Nostrana [21]

Answer: The end point of a spring oscillates with a period of 2.0 s when a block with mass m is attached to it. When this mass is increased by 2.0 kg, the period is found to be 3.0 s.  Then the mass m is 0.625kg.

Explanation: To find the answer, we need to know more about the simple harmonic motion.

<h3>What is simple harmonic motion?</h3>
  • A particle is said to execute SHM, if it moves to and fro about the mean position under the action of restoring force.
  • We have the equation of time period of a SHM as,

                                          T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

  • Where, m is the mass of the body and k is the spring constant.
<h3>How to solve the problem?</h3>
  • Given that,

               T_1=2s\\m_1=m\\m_2=m+2kg\\T_2=3s

  • We have to find the value of m,

              T_1=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\T_2=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m+2}{k} } \\\frac{T_1}{T_2} =\sqrt{\frac{m}{m+2} }\\\frac{2}{3} =\sqrt{\frac{m}{m+2} }\\\\

               m=\frac{5}{8} =0.625kg

Thus, we can conclude that, the mass m will be 0.625kg.

The sprinter’s average acceleration is 1.98 m/s²

The given parameters;

  • initial velocity of the sprinter, u = 18 km/h
  • final velocity of the sprinter, v = 27 km/h
  • time of motion of the sprinter, t = 3.5 x 10⁻⁴ h

Convert the velocity of the sprinter to m/s;

initial \ velocity, u = 18 \frac{km}{h} \times \frac{1000 \ m}{1 \ km} \times \frac{1 \ h}{3600 \ s} = 5 \ m/s\\\\final \ velocity, v =27 \frac{km}{h} \times \frac{1000 \ m}{1 \ km} \times \frac{1 \ h}{3600 \ s} = 7.5 \ m/s\\\\

The time of motion is seconds;

t = 3.5 \times 10^{-4} \ h \times \frac{3600 \ s}{1 \ h} = 1.26 \ s

The sprinter’s average acceleration is calculated as follows;

a = \frac{v- u}{t} \\\\a = \frac{7.5 \ m/s \ - \ 5 \ m/s}{1.26 \ s} \\\\a = 1.98 \ m/s^2

Thus, the sprinter’s average acceleration is 1.98 m/s²

katovenus [111]

Answer: ​Wernicke's aphasia

Explanation:

John recently suffered a blow to his head. Since then, he finds it difficult to comprehend what others say to him. He also finds it difficult to express his thoughts and cannot seem to find the right words to say while speaking. However, he can speak freely with proper syntax. In this scenario, John is most likely suffering from Wernicke's aphasia.

Wernicke's aphasia occurs when the leftward side of the middle of the brain is damaged or has been altered. An individual who suffers from Wernicke's aphasia will have difficulty in speaking in meaningful and coherent sentences or may have difficulty in understanding the speech of others.

If a 75 W lightbulb is 15% efficient, how many joules of light energy does the bulb produce every minute?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

1 W = 1 J / sec       Definition of watt is 1 joule / sec

So if a bulb uses 75 J / sec it must use

75 J/s * 60 sec / min = 4500 J/min    energy used by bulb

If bulb is 15% efficient then the light delivered is

P = 4500 J / min * .15 = 675 J / min
