A pirate ship shoots a cannon towards an oncoming ship. The cannon ball has a mass of 25 kg and the ship has a mass of 2500 kg.
1 answer:
Answer:
25 m/s in the opposite direction with the ship recoil velocity.
Explanation:
Assume the ship recoil velocity and velocity of the cannon ball aligns. By the law of momentum conservation, the momentum is conserved before and after the shooting. Before the shooting, the total momentum is 0 due to system is at rest. Therefore, the total momentum after the shooting must also be 0:
where are masses of the ship and ball respectively.
are the velocities of the ship and ball respectively, after the shooting.
So the cannon ball has a velocity of 25 m/s in the opposite direction with the ship recoil velocity.

Answer:
A) 60%
B) p2 = 1237.2 kPa
v2 = 0.348 m^3
C) w1-2 = w3-4 = 1615.5 kJ
Q2-3 = 60 kJ
Explanation:
A) calculate thermal efficiency
Л = 1 -
where Tl = 300 k
Th = 750 k
hence thermal efficiency ( Л ) = [1 - ( 300 / 750 )] * 100 = 60%
B) calculate the pressure and volume at the beginning of the isothermal expansion
calculate pressure ( P2 ) :
= P3v3 = mRT3 ----- (1)
v3 = 0.4m , mR = 2* 0.287, T3 = 750
hence P3 = 1076.25
next equation to determine P2
Qex = p3v3 ln( p2/p3 )
60 = 1076.25 * 0.4 ln(p2/p3)
hence ; P2 = 1237.2 kpa
calculate volume ( V2 )
p2v2 = p3v3
v2 = p3v3 / p2
= (1076.25 * 0.4 ) / 1237.2
= 0.348 m^3
C) calculate the work and heat transfer for each four processes
work :
W1-2 = mCv( T2 - T1 )
= 2*0.718 ( 750 - 300 ) = 1615.5 kJ
W3-4 = 1615.5 kJ
heat transfer
Q2-3 = W2-3 = 60KJ
Q3-4 = 0

Answer: Acceleration will have 2 components, vertical and horizontal.
Net-vertical component can be positive, zero or negative depending upon the magnitude of the upward component of the applied acceleration.
Net-horizontal acceleration will be equal to the horizontal component of the applied acceleration.
Explanation:
Since acceleration is a vector quantity and the cart is being pushed up the ramp, the ramp would be at some angle to the horizontal and hence there will be vertical and horizontal components of acceleration.
<u>For vertical acceleration:</u>
If the magnitude of the upward component of the applied acceleration is greater than the value of the acceleration due to gravity then the net vertical acceleration will be upward because it will overtake the value of acceleration due to gravity.
In case the upward component of the applied acceleration is lesser than the value of the acceleration due to gravity then the net vertical acceleration will be downward.
<u>For horizontal acceleration:</u>
This component remains unaffected and is equal to the horizontal component of the applied acceleration because there is no other acceleration acting in the horizontal direction.
But the net acceleration will not be solely in the vertical or horizontal direction because the block has to move forward on the inclined ramp so there will always exist a horizontal and a vertical component making the net acceleration to parallel to the ramp in upward direction if the body is going up the ramp.
