Answer:

 a = 1600 m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the kinematics relations,

         v² = v₀² + 2 a x

where v₀ is the initial velocity of the bullet, which as part of rest is zero, for the distance (x) we can assume that the gases accelerate along the entire trajectory of the cannon x = 2m

         a = \frac{v^2}{2x}

let's calculate

         a = \frac{80^2}{2 \ 2}

         a = 1600 m / s²

In order to walk barefoot on hot coals without hurting your feet
siniylev [52]

Before a person walks through burning coal, the person will make sure their feet are very wet. When they start walking on the coal, this moisture will evaporate and form a protective gas layer underneath the person's feet. You can see examples of this if you happen to drip some water on a hot stove or any very hot surface. The water will very easily glide around on top of a newly formed layer of air underneath it -- like air hockey pucks on an air hockey table. Note that when someone walks through burning coal, typically this is also done very quickly to prevent a great deal of exposure to possible harm. By walking quickly, thinking positively, and letting the water cushion you from immediate danger over a short distance, such a task is possible. You may have also heard of physics teachers demonstrating how this principle works by sticking their hand first in a bucket of water and then quickly in a bucket of boiling molten lead. In the lead, their hand is protected briefly by a layer of gas from the evaporated water (the water vapor). I'm fairly sure that there is a name for this particular layer of gas, but I'm afraid the name is beyond me at the moment. In other words, water vapor has a low heat capacity and poor thermal conduction. Very often, the coals or wood embers that are used in fire walking also have a low heat capacity. Sweat produced on the bottom of people's feet also helps form a protective water vapor. All of this together makes it possible, if moving quickly enough, to walk across hot coals without getting burned. WARNING: Do not attempt to perform any of the actions described above. You can seriously injure yourself. Answered by: Ted Pavlic, Electrical Engineering Undergrad Student, Ohio St.  (citing my source)

A ball is thrown upward. As it passes 5.0 m height it is traveling at 4.0 m/s up. What was its initial upward velocity? (a) 7.0
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

c) 10.7m/s

Explanation:

From the exercise we know that at 5m the ball  is traveling at 4m/s

To calculate its initial velocity we need to solve the following equation:

v_{y}^{2}=v_{oy}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})

Since the initial height is 0

Solving for v_{o}

v_{oy}=\sqrt{v_{y}^{2}-2gy}=\sqrt{(4m/s)^2-2(-9.8m/s^2)(5m)}=10.7m/s

Kay [80]
<span>Poet Kuangchi Chang did not remain in China long enough to be "re-educated." Following the Communist takeover he fled to the United States. His poem "Garden of My Childhood" describes China before the revolution as a peaceful, idyllic garden with a violent horde rapidly approaching. A vine, the wind, and the sea are each personified, and each beckons for him to run. It is not until "eons later," when he is "worlds away," that his "running is all done," and he finds himself at his destination: another garden, just like the one he had left behind.</span>
