<u>Answer:</u>
Cannonball will be in flight before it hits the ground for 2.02 seconds
<u>Explanation:</u>
Initial height from ground = 20 meter.
We have equation of motion ,
, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.
In this the velocity of body in vertical direction = 0 m/s, acceleration = 9.8
, we need to calculate time when s = 20 meter.
Substituting

So it will take 2.02 seconds to reach ground.
Answer:
can't explain but is correct
Answer:
Mechanical would have been conserved if only the force of gravity (the weight of the object does work on the system). The tension force does work also on the system but negative work instead. The net force acting of the system is zero since the upward tension in the string suspending the object is equal to the weight of the object but acting in the opposite direction. As a result they cancel out. In the equation above the effect of the tension force on the object has been neglected or not taken into consideration. For the mechanical energy E to be conserved, the work done by this tension force must be included into the equation. Otherwise it would seem as though energy has been generated in some manner that is equal in magnitude to the work done by the tension force.
The conserved form of the equation is given by
E = K + Ug + Wother.
In this case Wother = work done by the tension force.
In that form the total mechanical energy is conserved.
Answer:
The kinetic energy of the arrow is equaled to the potential energy of the stretching of the bow, which in this case is 50 J.
Explanation:
Potential energy converts to kinetic as soon as it begins to move.
