Answer: Both cannonballs will hit the ground at the same time.
Explanation:
Suppose that a given object is on the air. The only force acting on the object (if we ignore air friction and such) will be the gravitational force.
then the acceleration equation is only on the vertical axis, and can be written as:
a(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)
Now, to get the vertical velocity equation, we need to integrate over time.
v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t + v0
Where v0 is the initial velocity of the object in the vertical axis.
if the object is dropped (or it only has initial velocity on the horizontal axis) then v0 = 0m/s
and:
v(t) = -(9.8 m/s^2)*t
Now, if two objects are initially at the same height (both cannonballs start 1 m above the ground)
And both objects have the same vertical velocity, we can conclude that both objects will hit the ground at the same time.
You can notice that the fact that one ball is fired horizontally and the other is only dropped does not affect this, because we only analyze the vertical problem, not the horizontal one. (This is something useful to remember, we can separate the vertical and horizontal movement in these type of problems)
Answer:
option (c)
Explanation:
When an object thrown upwards, the value of acceleration acting on the object is acceleration due to gravity which is always acting towards the earth.
As it falls downwards, the acceleration is again equal to the acceleration due to gravity.
So, the ball's acceleration is constant.
The thermosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere. The thermosphere is directly above the mesosphere and below the exosphere. It extends from about 90 km (56 miles) to between 500 and 1,000 km (311 to 621 miles) above our planet.
Answer:3.87*10^-4
Explanation:
What is the decrease in mass, delta mass Xe , of the xenon nucleus as a result of this deca
We have been given the wavelength of the gamma ray, find the frequency using c = freq*wavelength.
C=f*lambda
3*10^8=f*3.44*10^-12
F=0.87*10^20 hz
Then with the frequency, find the energy emitted using equation
E=hf E = freq*Plank's constant
E=.87*10^20*6.62*10^-34
E=575.94*10^(-16)
With this energy, convert into MeV from joules.
With the energy in MeV, use E=mc^2 using c^2 = 931.5 MeV/u.
Plugging and computing all necessary numbers gives you
3.87*10^-4 u.
