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.

Why are some forces considered to be noncontact forces? A. Objects must be far apart in order to exert a force. B. Objects do no
kompoz [17]

Answer:

B. Objects do not have to touch each other to experience a force.

Explanation:

For example ..One of the noncontact forces is magnetic force whereby a magnetic object will be attracted to another magnetic object of oppsite charged particles, through waves called electromagnetic waves. On the other hand, the two magnetic objects of similar charged particles can repel through electromagnetic waves..

A 747 airliner reaches its takeoff speed of 173 mi/h in 35.2 s. what is the magnitude of its average acceleration
wolverine [178]
<span>7.21 ft/s^2
       
Since you're looking for average acceleration, you can simply divide the change in velocity by the time. To make the calculation more reasonable, first convert the speed of 173 mi/h into ft/sec by multiplying by 5280 to convert from mi/h to ft/h and then dividing by 3600 to convert from ft/h to ft/s. 173 * 5280 / 3600 = 253.7333 ft/s Now divide the change in velocity by the time in seconds. 253.7333 ft/s / 35.2 s = 7.208333 ft/s^2 Rounding result to 3 significant figures gives 7.21 ft/s^2</span>

what is the total distance traveled by a bike rider who rides for three hours at 40 km/hr and then two more hours at 50 km/hr?
marta [7]

Answer:

220 km

Explanation:

3 hours at 40 km/hr

40 km = 1 hour

40 km times 3 = 120 km

2 hours at 50 km/hr

50 km = 1 hour

50 times 2 = 100 km

Total distance

120 km + 100 km = 220 km
