The recoil of a cannon is probably familiar to anyone who has watched pirate movies. This is a classic problem in momentum conse

rvation. Consider a wheeled, 500 kg cannon firing a 2 kg cannonball horizontally from a ship. The ball leaves the cannon traveling at 200 m/s. At what speed does the cannon recoil as a result?

Answer:

0.8 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

MV = mv............................. Equation 1

Where M = mass of the cannon, m = mass of the cannonball, V = velocity of the cannon, v = velocity of the cannon ball.

make V the subject of the equation

V = mv/M........................ Equation 2

Given: m = 2 kg, M = 500 kg, v = 200 m/s

Substitute these value into equation 2

V = (2×200)/500

V = 400/500

V = 0.8 m/s

What is the sound intensity level in a car when the sound intensity is 0.525 μW/m2 ? Use I0 = 1.00×10−12 W/m2 for the reference
never [62]

Answer:

The sound intensity level in the car is 57.2 dB.

Explanation:

Sound intensity level in decibels, β = 10 log (I/I₀); where I = 0.525 × 10⁻⁶ W/m², I₀ = 1.0 × 10⁻¹² W/m²

β (dB) = 10 log ((0.525 × 10⁻⁶)/(1.0 × 10⁻¹²)) = 10 × 5.72 = 57.2 dB

Hope this Helps!!!

A space probe produces a radio signal pulse. If the pulse reaches Earth 12.3 seconds after it is emitted by the probe, what is t
adoni [48]

Answer:

Distance = 3.69 × 10^9 m

The distance from the probe to Earth is 3.69 × 10^9 m

Explanation:

Distance from the probe to the Earth can be derived using the simple motion formula;

Distance = speed × time .....1

Since a radio signal uses an electromagnetic wave to transfer signal, it has the same speed as the speed of light.

Speed of radio signal = speed of light = 3.0 × 10^8 m/s

time taken to reach the earth = 12.3 seconds

Substituting the values of speed and time into equation 1;

Distance = 3.0 × 10^8 m/s × 12.3 s

Distance = 36.9 × 10^8 m

Distance = 3.69 × 10^9 m

Note: all electromagnetic radiation have the same speed which is equal to 3.0 × 10^8 m/s

MArishka [77]

Answer:

The last statement is false.

Explanation:

Photons (Electromagnetic radiation) are released when electrons drop from a higher energy lever to a lower energy level. Therefore the opposite insinuated by the last statement is wrong.

7. A beam of light converges at a point P. Now a lens is placed in the path of the convergent
Rudiy27

Answer:

Lens at a distance = 7.5 cm

Lens at a distance = 6.86 cm  (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Object distance u = 12 cm

a) Focal length = 20 cm

b) Focal length = 16 cm

Computation:

a. 1/v = 1/u + 1/f

1/v = 1/20 + 1/12

v = 7.5 cm

Lens at a distance = 7.5 cm

b.  1/v = 1/u + 1/f

1/v = 1/16 + 1/12

v = 6.86 cm  (Approx)

Lens at a distance = 6.86 cm  (Approx)
