Answer:

Width = 680 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must know the speed of sound in the air, conducting an internet search, we find that this speed has a value of v = 340 [m/s].

We apply the following kinematic equation, which relates space to time, to define speed.

v = x /t

where:

x = distance [m]

t = time [s]

v = velocity [m/s]

Now replacing:

x = 340 * 4

x = 1360 [m]

But the width of the cannon is calculated when the sound wave hits the wall of the canyon, so this width is half the distance.

Width = 1360 / 2 = 680 [m]

You go to the hardware store to buy a new 50 ft garden hose. You find you can choose between hoses of ½ inch and 5/8 inch inner

To solve this problem it is necessary to consider two concepts. The first of these is the flow rate that can be defined as the volumetric quantity that a channel travels in a given time. The flow rate can also be calculated from the Area and speed, that is,

Q = V*A

Where,

A= Cross-sectional Area

V = Velocity

The second concept related to the calculation of this problem is continuity, which is defined as the proportion that exists between the input channel and the output channel. It is understood as well as the geometric section of entry and exit, defined as,

$Q_1 = Q_2$

$V_1A_1=V_2A_2$

Our values are given as,

$A_1=\frac{1}{2}^2*\pi=0.785 in^2$

$A_2=\frac{5}{8}^2*\pi=1.227 in^2$

Re-arrange the equation to find the first ratio of rates we have:

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{A_2}{A_1}$

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{1.227}{0.785}$

$\frac{V_1}{V_2}=1.56$

The second ratio of rates is

$\frac{V2}{V1}=\frac{A_1}{A2}$

$\frac{V2}{V1}=\frac{0.785}{1.227}$

$\frac{V2}{V1}=0.640$

A ball is thrown vertically upward. What is its acceleration right before it hits the earth?

Bezzdna [24]

<span>The entire time the ball is in the air, its acceleration is 9.8 m/s2 down provided this occurs on the surface of the Earth. Note that the acceleration can be either 9.8 m/s2 or -9.8 m/s2.

The momentum of the second ball was 15 kg.m/s.

<h3>What is inelastic collision?</h3>

In which collision some amount of kinetic energy of the system is lost that called inelastic collision. In purely inelastic collision, two bodies stick together. But principle of conservation of linear momentum is obeyed.

In the given question,

Two balls collide and after collision, the final momentum of the system = 18 kg.m/s.

Initial velocity of 1st ball of mass 3 kg is 1 m/s.

So, Initial momentum of first ball = mass × velocity = (3 kg) × (1 m/s) = 3 kg.m/s.

According to Principle of conservation of linear momentum for this inelastic collision,

Initial momentum of first ball + initial momentum of second ball = final momentum of the system

⇒ initial momentum of second ball = final momentum of the system - Initial momentum of first ball

= 18 kg.m/s - 3 kg.m/s.

= 15 kg.m/s.

Hence, initial momentum of second ball = 15 kg.m/s.
