1. A 56.2 kg ball is loaded into a 1.27kg cannon. The cannon is at rest when it is ignited. Immediately after the impulse of the

explosion, a photogate timer measures the cannon to recoil backwards a distance of 6.1 cm in 0.0218 seconds. Determine the post-explosion speed of the cannon and of the ball.

Answer:

vc = v cannon

mc = m cannon

vb = v ball

mb = m ball

vc = d / t

= (6.1 cm) / (0.0218 s)

= 280 cm/s

mb x vb = -mc x vc

(negative as it is in the opposite direction)

(0.0562) x vb = - (1.27) x (-280)

vb = - (1.27) x  (-280) /  (0.0562)

= 6323.26 cm/s

ball = 63.2 m/s

cannon = 2.8 cm/s - recommend changing to m before calculations

A 1050 W carbon-dioxide laser emits light with a wavelength of 10μm into a 3.0-mm-diameter laser beam. What force does the laser
avanturin [10]

The force exerted by the laser beam on a completely absorbing target is 3.5 \times 10^{-6} \ N.

The given parameters;

  • <em>power of the laser light, P = 1050 W</em>
  • <em>wavelength of the emitted light, λ = 10 μm </em>

The speed of the emitted laser light is given as;

v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The force exerted by the laser beam on a completely absorbing target is calculated as follows;

P = Fv

F = \frac{P}{v} \\\\F = \frac{1050}{3\times 10^8} \\\\F = 3.5 \times 10^{-6} \ N

Thus, the force exerted by the laser beam on a completely absorbing target is 3.5 \times 10^{-6} \ N.

Step 2: Apply NEwton's second law Apply ∑Fy = may , what should ay be equal to, since the block doesn't move in the y direction
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

∑Fy = 0, because there is no movement, N = m*g*cos (omega)

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the help of a free body diagram where we show the respective forces in each one of the axes, y & x. The free-body diagram and the equations are in the image attached.

If the product of mass by acceleration is zero, we must clear the normal force of the equation obtained. The acceleration is equal to zero because there is no movement on the Y-axis.

Kobotan [32]

Wildlife researcher starts from a and then reaches b, he turns towards north 40 degree to move towards c.

Total displacement is ac

Total horizontal displacement = 4+4 cos40 =7.06 km

Total vertical displacement = 4 sin40 =2.57 km

Total displacement = \sqrt{7.06^2+2.57^2} = 7.51 km
