A cannon sitting on level ground is aimed at 45.0 degrees relative to the horizontal. It fires a test shot at a target located 1

00.0 meters away from the cannon on the same level ground. The test overshoots the target by 20.0 meters. Which of the following angles can the cannon be adjusted to to hit the target. You may neglect air resistance and assume the cannon always delivers the same initial velocity to the cannonball .
A. 35.9 deg
B. 49.1 deg
C. 28.2 deg
D. 52.8 deg

Answer:

C. 28.2 deg

Explanation:

The horizontal range of a projectile is given as:

R = \frac{v^2Sin2\theta}{g}

where,

R = Range

v = speed

θ = angle of launch

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

First, we will find the launch speed (v) by using the initial conditions:

R = 120 m

θ = 45°

Therefore,

120\ m = \frac{v^2Sin 90^o}{9.81\ m/s^2}\\\\v = \sqrt{(120\ m)(9.81\ m/s^2)}\\\\v = 34.31\ m/s

Now, consider the second scenario to hit the target:

R = 100 m

Therefore,

100\ m = \frac{(34.31\ m/s)^2Sin2\theta}{9.81\ m/s^2}\\\\Sin2\theta = \frac{(100\ m)(9.81\ m/s^2)}{(34.31\ m/s)^2}\\\\2\theta = Sin^{-1}(0.833)\\\\\theta = \frac{56.44^o}{2}\\\theta = 28.22^o

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>C. 28.2 deg</u>

A piano tuner is tuning a piano when he discovers that the G above middle C is vibrating with a higher frequency than his G tuni
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

Tuning a piano is the process of adjusting the tension of its strings, thereby altering their pitch, or frequency of vibration, by slightly turning the tuning pins to which they're attached, so that each string sounds pleasingly in harmony with every other string.

Are temperature and thermal energy the same thing justify your answer
Sever21 [200]
Temperature is the measurement of the average energy of the particles in a solid, liquid or gas and thermal energy is the total energy in a set amount of solid, liquid or gas. Therefore, the temperature and thermal energy is not the same thing. They are both about the particle theory, which is a theory that all particles of solid, liquid or gas are always in motion. But the difference between the two is that temperature is the "measurement" of the particles in a solid, liquid or gas and the thermal energy is the total energy in a set amount of solid, liquid or gas.

A large truck collides with a small car. True or False: The truck exerted a greater magnitude force on the car than the car exer
Reptile [31]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The forces on the car and truck are equal and opposite. The equal forces cause accelerations of the truck and car inversely proportional to their mass. That is, If the Truck A exerts a force FAB on car B, then the car will exert a force FBA on the truck. Therefore,

FBA = −FAB

However, this can be explained by Newton's second law. Let's say the truck has mass M and the car has mass m. If the magnitude of the force that both vehicles experience is F, then the magnitudes of their respective accelerations are:

atruck = F/M

acar = F/m

and combining these we get:

atruck/acar = m/M

So if the mass of the car is a lot less than the mass of the truck, then the acceleration of the truck is much smaller than the acceleration of the car, and if you were to watch the collision, the truck would pretty much seem like it's motion was unaffected, but the car's motion will change quite a bit.

A particle of charge 2.0 x 10^-8C experiences an upward force of magnitude 4.0 x10^-6 when it is placed in a particular point in
koban [17]

Answer:

a) The electric field at that point is 2.0\times 10^{2} newtons per coulomb.

b) The electric force is 2.0\times 10^{-6} newtons.

Explanation:

a) Let suppose that electric field is uniform, then the following electric field can be applied:

E = \frac{F_{e}}{q} (1)

Where:

E - Electric field, measured in newtons per coulomb.

F_{e} - Electric force, measured in newtons.

q - Electric charge, measured in coulombs.

If we know that F_{e} = 4.0\times 10^{-6}\,N and q = 2.0\times 10^{-8}\,C, then the electric field at that point is:

E = \frac{4.0\times 10^{-6}\,N}{2.0\times 10^{-8}\,C}

E = 2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C}

The electric field at that point is 2.0\times 10^{2} newtons per coulomb.

b) If we know that E = 2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C} and q = 1.0\times 10^{-8}\,C, then the electric force is:

F_{e} = E\cdot q

F_{e} = \left(2.0\times 10^{2}\,\frac{N}{C} \right)\cdot (1.0\times 10^{-8}\,C)

F_{e} = 2.0\times 10^{-6}\,N

The electric force is 2.0\times 10^{-6} newtons.
