A cannon of mass 6.43 x 103 kg is rigidly bolted to the earth so it can recoil only by a negligible amount. The cannon fires a 7

3.8-kg shell horizontally with an initial velocity of 503 m/s. Suppose the cannon is then unbolted from the earth, and no external force hinders its recoil. What would be the velocity of a shell fired from this loose cannon

Answer:

The velocity of the shell when the cannon is unbolted is 500.14 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of cannon, m₁ = 6430 kg

mass of shell, m₂ = 73.8-kg

initial velocity of the shell, u₂ = 503 m/s

Initial kinetic energy of the shell; when the cannon is rigidly bolted to the earth.

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = ¹/₂ (73.8)(503)²

K.E = 9336032.1 J

When the cannon is unbolted from the earth, we apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum and kinetic energy

change in initial momentum = change in momentum after

0 = m₁u₁ - m₂u₂

m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

where;

v₁ is the final velocity of cannon

v₂ is the final velocity of shell

v_1 = \frac{m_2v_2}{m_1}

Apply the principle of conservation kinetic energy

K = \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 +  \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\\\\K = \frac{1}{2}m_1(\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1})^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2\\\\K = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2(\frac{m_2}{m_1}) + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2 \\\\K = \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2 (\frac{m_2}{m_1} + 1)\\\\2K = m_2v_2^2 (\frac{m_2}{m_1} + 1)\\\\v_2^2 = \frac{2K}{M_2(\frac{m_2}{m_1} + 1)} \\\\v_2^2 = \frac{2*9336032.1}{73.8(\frac{73.8}{6430} + 1)}\\\\

v_2^2 = 250138.173\\\\v_2 = \sqrt{250138.173} \\\\v_2 = 500.14  \ m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the shell when the cannon is unbolted is 500.14 m/s

You are moving a wagon with a friend's help you push on the left side of the wagon with 25 of force while your friend pulls from
Pavel [41]

Answer:

10N to the left side towards you

Explanation:

The net force is the resultant force that acts on a body.

Force is a push or pull on a body.    

 Push to left side  = 25N

 Pull to the right  = 15N

Net force  = Push to left side   -  Pull to the right  = 25N  - 15N

 Net force  = 10N to the left side towards you

The net force is therefore 10N to the left side towards you

7.) What is the relationship between kinetic and potential energy?
Arte-miy333 [17]
We know that potential energy is the energy that is stored within an object while kinetic energy is the energy that is in motion. The connection between the two is that potential energy transforms into kinetic energy

Which set of atoms will form an ionic compound?
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

The answer is A)

Explanation:

An ionic compound is formed when one atom donates one or more electrons to one or more atoms of another element. Calcium has two valence electrons, which are donated to an atom of oxygen. So, an ionic compound is formed in the reaction involving one calcium atom with an oxygen atom.

A particle with a charge of -4.0 μC and a mass of 3.2 x 10-6 kg is released from rest at point A and accelerates toward point B,
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

V_B-V_A=-20736-0=-20736volt

Explanation:

We have given charge on the particle q=-4\mu C=-4\times 10^{-6}C

Mass of the charge particle m=3.2\times 10^{-6}kg

From energy of conservation kinetic energy will be equal to potential energy

So at point A

\frac{1}{2}mv^2=qV

At point a velocity is zero

So \frac{1}{2}(3.2\times10^{-6} )0^2=-4\times 10^{-6}V_a

V_A=0volt

At point B velocity will be 72 m/sec

So \frac{1}{2}\times 3.2\times 10^{-6}72^2=-4\times 10^{-6}V_b

V_B=-20736volt

So V_B-V_A=-20736-0=-20736volt
