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

A dry cell does 7.5 j of work through chemical energy transfer 5.00C between terminals of the cell . What is the electric potent
lisov135 [29]
Here's a useful factoid that you don't hear about very often:

1 volt means 1 Joule per Coulomb.

When 1 coulomb of charge falls or gets lifted through 1 volt potential difference, it gains or loses 1 Joule of energy.

If you want to lift 5 coulombs to a height of 1 volt, you have to give it 5 joules.

If you actually give those 5 coulombs 7.5 joules instead, they'll rise up to 1.5 volts above the potential where they started. The flowed through a potential DIFFERENCE of 1.5 volts.

(If they started at a point that's connected to the Earth, like a water pipe or a metal flagpole, then their new potential is 1.5 volts, because we define zero as the potential of the ground.)

What effect does the removal of vegetation have on soil ?
Strike441 [17]
Hello!

The removal of vegetation causes the desertification and erosion of soil. The roots of the plants that are inside the soil create a sort of net that prevents the material to be dragged by the water from the rain. They also absorb any excess water that can weaken the soil structure. If vegetation is removed from the soil, the nutrients can be dragged by water currents and slowly the desertification will occur. 

Have a nice day!
