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.

Answer:

56.86153 N

Explanation:

t =Time taken

F = Force

Power

$P=\frac{W}{t}\\\Rightarrow W=P\times t\\\Rightarrow W=77\times 0.96\\\Rightarrow W=73.92\ Joules$

Work done

$W=F\times s\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{W}{s}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{73.92}{1.3}\\\Rightarrow F=56.86153\ N$

The magnitude of the force that is exerted on the handle is 56.86153 N

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

F= 1800N

Explanation:

the equation for force is F= ma

so plug in the numbers: F= (120)(15)

solve this to get F= 1800N

tip: don't forget to add the units when writing your answer :)

rewona [7]

Answer:

a) x = 0.200 m

b)E = 3.84*10^{-4} N/C

Explanation:

$q_1 = 21.0\mu C$

$q_1 = 47.0\mu C$

DISTANCE BETWEEN BOTH POINT CHARGE = 0.5 m

by relation for electric field we have following relation

$E = \frac{kq}{x}^2$

according to question E = 0

FROM FIGURE

x is the distance from left point charge where electric field is zero

$\frac{k21}{x}^2 = \frac{k47}{0.5-x}^2$

solving for x we get

$\frac{0.5}{x} = 1+ \sqrt{\frac{47}{21}}$

x = 0.200 m

b)electric field at half way mean x =0.25

$E =\frac{k*21*10^{-6}}{0.25^2} -\frac{k*47*10^{-6}}{0.25^2}$

E = 3.84*10^{-4} N/C

Explanation:

it is the only straight line that makes sense. curved lines imply velocity changed. and the completly flat green line implies the vehicle didn't move since its position value stayed the same. must be the downward pointing orange line
