Answer:

202.8m

Explanation:

Given that A pirate fires his cannon parallel to the water but 3.5 m above the water. The cannonball leaves the cannon with a velocity of 120 m/s. He misses his target and the cannonball splashes into the briny deep.

First calculate the total time travelled by using the second equation of motion

h = Ut + 1/2gt^2

Let assume that u = 0

And h = 3.5

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

3.5 = 1/2 × 9.8 × t^2

3.5 = 4.9t^2

t^2 = 3.5/4.9

t^2 = 0.7

t = 0.845s

To know how far the cannonball travel, let's use the equation

S = UT + 1/2at^2

But acceleration a = 0

T = 2t

T = 1.69s

S = 120 × 1.69

S = 202.834 m

Therefore, the distance travelled by the cannon ball is approximately 202.8m.

What do a control group and an experiment group have in common ?
Vlad [161]
<span>Whatever the focus of the experiment is, plus any others factors that might influence the outcome of the experiment. If you are testing a new cancer drug, the experimental group and the control group must both be people with the same type of cancer, and both be a representative distribution of the population, all races, genders, ages, etc. You want the only difference in the two groups to be what you are studying, i.e. the effects of the drug.</span>

Compare the geology of Callisto, Ganymede, and Titan.
V125BC [204]

Explanation: Ganymede, Callisto, Titan are the moons of outer planets or gaseous planets which are made up of ice and rock. Callisto is an ice-covered moon and has no inner or outer activity and is considered basically geologically dead. Ganymede has rocky core and shows signs of tectonic activity, including long cracks in the crust and regions of young surface terrain. Titan has active geology of liquid hydrocarbons on the surface, rain back onto the surface and evaporation into the atmosphere. It has similar size, composition and mass to Ganymede and Callisto.
