Which element of a valid contract is established by getting the signatures of all parties?

sweet [91]

The element of a valid contract which is established by getting the signatures of all parties is mutual agreement

<h3>What is an element of a valid contract?</h3>

An element of a valid contract simply refers to that promise made between two or more parties that which allow the courts to make judgement.

Some elements of valid contract are:

Offer
Acceptance
Consideration
Intention to create legal relation
Certainty and capacity.

So therefore, the element of a valid contract which is established by getting the signatures of all parties is mutual agreement

A cannon fires a cannonball forward at a velocity of 48.1 m/s horizontally. If the cannon is on a mounted wagon 1.5 m tall, how

GalinKa [24]

Answer: 473.640 m

Explanation:

This situation is related to projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which the travel of the cannonball has two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations as follows:

x-component:

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

Where:

$V_{o}=48.1 m/s$ is the cannonball's initial velocity

$\theta=0$ because we are told the cannonball is shot horizontally

$t$ is the time since the cannonball is shot until it hits the ground

y-component:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=1.5m$ is the initial height of the cannonball

$y=0$ is the final height of the cannonball (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

We need to find how far (horizontally) the cannonball has traveled before landing. This means we need to find the maximum distance in the x-component, let's call it $X_{max}$ and this occurs when $y=0$ .

So, firstly we will find the time with (2):

$0=1.5 m+48. 1 m/s sin(0\°) t-(4.9 m/s^{2})t^2$ (3)

Rearranging the equation:

$0=-(4.9 m/s^{2})t^2+48. 1 m/s sin(0\°) t+1.5 m$ (4)

$-(4.9 m/s^{2})t^2+(48. 1 m/s) t+1.5 m=0$ (5)

This is a quadratic equation (also called equation of the second degree) of the form $at^{2}+bt+c=0$ , which can be solved with the following formula:
