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

Explanation:

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.

Suppose that a ball is released from the window of a train that is moving with constant velocity. The path of the ball, as obse

barxatty [35]

True, the path of the ball, as observed from the train window, will be a horizontal straight line.

An object projected from a certain height has a parabolic path when observed from a fixed point.

However, if the reference point is moving at the same velocity as the object, the path of the object's motion appears to be a straight line.

When the ball is released from the window of the train, it will move at the same constant velocity as the train, and the path of the ball's motion observed from the train window will be a straight line.

Thus, we can conclude that the given statement is true. The path of the ball, as observed from the train window, will be a horizontal straight line.

363 m/s is the speed of sound through the air in the pipe.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The formula used to calculate the wavelength given as below,

$Wavelength (\lambda)=\frac{\text { wave velocity }(v)}{\text { frequency }(f)}$

$v=\lambda \times f$ --------> eq. 1

In power system, harmonics define by positive integers of the fundamental frequency. So the third order harmonic is a multiple of the third fundamental frequency. Each harmonic creates an additional node and an opposite node, as well as an additional half wave within the string.

If the number of waves in the circuit is known, the comparison between standing wavelength and circuit length can be calculated algebraically. The general expression for this given as,

$L=\frac{n \lambda}{2}$
