Carpet produce more static electricity because the rubbing on the carpet release negative charge, called electrons, which can build up on one object to produce a static charge. For example, when you shuffle your feet across a carpet, electrons can transfer onto you, building up a static charge on your skin.

A cannonball is fired perfectly horizontally from the top of a 210 m tall cliff. It is fired with an initial velocity of 50 m/s.
pochemuha

Answer:

the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

Explanation:

Given;

height of the cliff, h = 210 m

initial horizontal velocity of the cannonball, Ux = 50 m/s

initial vertical velocity of the cannonball, Uy = 0

The time for the cannonball to reach the ground is calculated as;

h = u_yt - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 210}{9.8} }\\\\t  = 6.55 \ s

The horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is calculated as;

X = U_x \times \ t\\\\X = 50 \times \ 6.55\\\\X = 327.5 \ m

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m
