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.

A ball is bouncing to a height that is 1/3 of the previous height after every bounce. What kind of sequence is this? How could y
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer and Explanation:

The ball is bouncing to a height of 1/3 of its previous height this is a type of geometric sequence the total distance can be found by the sum of geometric sequence

For example let the initial height is 243 fit

After one bounce it will reach  243/3 =81 feet

After second bounce 81/3=27 feet

After third bounce 27/3 =9 feet

After fourth bounce 9/3 =3 feet

So a sequence is formed that is 243,81,27,9,3..........

Here r=\frac{3}{9}=\frac{1}{3}

Sum of infinite GP = \frac{a}{1-r}

From this formula we can find the total distance traveled by the ball

Clara rushes 30m to a truck then turns and walks back. Total travel is 120s what is her average velocity?
navik [9.2K]

Taking into account the definition of velocity, Clara's average velocity is 0.5 m/s.

<h3>Definition of velocity</h3>

Velocity is a physical magnitude that relates the displacement of an object, the time it takes to make this change in position and direction. So it is considered a vector magnitude.

In other words, the velocity can be defined as the amount of space traveled per unit of time with which a body moves, considering the direction, and can be calculated using the expression:

velocity= distance traveled÷ time

<h3>Average velocity of Clara</h3>

Clara rushes 30 m to a truck then turns and walks back. Total travel is 120s. Then, you know:

  • distance traveled= 30m rushing + 30m walking back= 60 m
  • time= 120 s

Replacing in the definition of velocity:

velocity= 60 m÷ 120 s

Solving:

<u><em>velocity= 0.5 m/s</em></u>

Finally, Clara's average velocity is 0.5 m/s.
