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:
B.The force of friction between the block and surface will decrease.
Explanation:
The force of friction is given by

where
is the coefficient of friction and
is the normal force.
When the student pulls on the block with force
at an angle
, the normal force on the block becomes

and hence the frictional force becomes
.
Now, as we increase
,
increases which as a result decreases the normal force
, which also means the frictional force decreases; Hence choice B stands true.
<em>P.S: Choice D is tempting but incorrect since the weight </em>
<em> is independent of the external forces on the block. </em>
Around 8 hours and 20 minutes
Explanation:
I divided 500 by 60 and got 8.3333333333 and i round it up to 8.20, so it is 8 hours and 20 minutes.
If you're moving, then you have kinetic energy.
If you're not at the bottom yet, then you still have
some potential energy left.
