A 100 kilogram clown is fired 15 meters per second from a 500-kilogram cannon. What is the recoil speed of the cannon?

The recoil speed of the cannon is 3 m/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Law of conservation of momentum is used to find the recoil speed of the cannon.

m₁v₁ = -m₂v₂

m₁= mass of clown = 100 kg

v₁ = speed of the clown = 15 m/s

m₂= mass of the cannon = 500 kg

v₂ = speed of the cannon = ?

Plugin the values, we will get,

v₂ = m₁v₁ / -m₂ = -100×15/ 500 = -1500 / 500   = 3 m/s

So the recoil speed of the cannon is 3 m/s.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

If you were traveling away from earth at speed 0.5c, you wouldn't notice any change in your heartbeat, you won't notice your mass, height and waistline change. This is because you are on the same frame of reference as the ship in spacetime and any measurement done from the ship will give normal readings from an observer on the ship.

For an observer on earth, your heartbeat will be seen to slowdown (because your time on the ship will be perceived to slow down to an

observer on earth). Also, your mass will be seen to increase, you height will also be seen to increase, and your waistline will be seen to decrease when viewed from earth.

What is the magnitude of the velocity when the elastic potential energy is equal to the kinetic energy? (Assume that U=0 at equi
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

General Equation of SHM is given by

x=A\cos \omega t

v=-A\omega \sin \omega t

where x=position of particle

A=maximum Amplitude

\omega =angular frequency

t=time

At any time Total Energy is the sum of kinetic Energy and Elastic potential Energy i.e. \frac{1}{2}kA^2

where k=spring constant

Potential Energy is given by U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

also it is given that Potential Energy(U) is equal to Kinetic Energy(K)

Total Energy=K+U

Total=2U=2\times \frac{1}{2}kx^2

\frac{1}{2}kA^2=2\times \frac{1}{2}kx^2

x=\pm \frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}

at x=\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}

velocity is v=\frac{A\omega}{\sqrt{2}}

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Δμ = hΔf/B

Explanation:

If the photon energy , ΔE = hΔf where Δf = small frequency shift and since the potential energy change of the magnetic dipole moment μ in magnetic field B from parallel to anti-parallel state is ΔU = ΔμB. where Δμ = small shift in magnetic moment.

Since the magnetic energy change equals the photon energy,

ΔE = ΔU

hΔf = ΔμB

Δμ = hΔf/B

I am trying to find the magnitude of a resultant vector. Do i take inconsideration the negatives when i find the x &amp; y compo
attashe74 [19]
Absolutely !  If you have two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite
directions, then one of them is the negative of the other.  Their correct
vector sum is zero, and that's exactly the magnitude of the resultant vector.

(Think of fifty football players pulling on each end of the rope in a tug-of-war. 
Their forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, and the flag that
hangs from the middle of the rope goes nowhere, because the resultant
force on it is zero.)

This gross, messy explanation is completely applicable when you're totaling up
the x-components or the y-components.
