Answer:

It takes to a spacecraft 100,837.13 years to cross the galaxy if could travels at 99% the speed of light.

Explanation:

d= 9.461 *10²⁰m

V= 297 *10⁶ m/s

t= d/V

t= 3.18 * 10¹² seconds = 100837.13 years

A pirate fires his cannon parallel to the water but 3.5 m above the water. The cannonball leaves the cannon with a velocity of 1
Bumek [7]

Answer:

202.8m

Explanation:

Given that A pirate fires his cannon parallel to the water but 3.5 m above the water. The cannonball leaves the cannon with a velocity of 120 m/s. He misses his target and the cannonball splashes into the briny deep.

First calculate the total time travelled by using the second equation of motion

h = Ut + 1/2gt^2

Let assume that u = 0

And h = 3.5

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

3.5 = 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2

3.5 = 4.9t^2

t^2 = 3.5/4.9

t^2 = 0.7

t = 0.845s

To know how far the cannonball travel, let's use the equation

S = UT + 1/2at^2

But acceleration a = 0

T = 2t

T = 1.69s

S = 120 × 1.69

S = 202.834 m

Therefore, the distance travelled by the cannon ball is approximately 202.8m.

"A block of metal weighs 40 N in air and 30 N in water. What is the buoyant force on the block due to the water? The density of
Alja [10]

Answer:

buoyant force on the block due to the water= 10 N

Explanation:

We know that

buoyant force(F_B) on a block= weight of the block in air (actual weight) - weight of block in water.

Given:

A block of metal weighs 40 N in air and 30 N in water.

F_B =  40-30= 10 N

therefore,  buoyant force on the block due to the water= 10 N

A fire hose sends 2429 gallons of water per minute against a burning building. The water strikes the building at 66 m/s and does
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

a)   Δp = - 10113.2 Kg m / s, b) he rate of change is negative, c)    F = 140.46N

Explanation:

a) For this part let's analyze a water particle, it has a velocity of 66 m / s and when it collides with the building its velocity changes to zero, so the change in moment is

           Δp = mv_f - m v₀

           Δp = -m v₀                              (1)

the change of the moment in a second is

           

if 2429 gallons arrive in in minute (60s) in a second how many gallons arrive      

            c_agua = 2429/60

            c_water = 40,483 gallon/ s

let's use the concept of density to find the mass

            ρ = m / V

            m = ρ V

let's reduce gallons to liters

             c_water = 40,483 gal (3,785 l / 1 gal) = 153.23 l

           

            m = 1 153.23

            m 153.23 kg

           

we substitute in 1

            Δp = - 153.23 66

            Δp = - 10113.2 Kg m / s

b) From the previous result the rate of change is negative

c) Let's use the impulse ratio

             I = f t = Δp

             F t = Δp

               

              F = Δp / t

              F = \frac{10113.2}{1.2 \ 60}

              F = 140.46 N
