Answer:

the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

Explanation:

Given;

height of the cliff, h = 210 m

initial horizontal velocity of the cannonball, Ux = 50 m/s

initial vertical velocity of the cannonball, Uy = 0

The time for the cannonball to reach the ground is calculated as;

h = u_yt - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\h = 0 - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} } \\\\t = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 210}{9.8} }\\\\t  = 6.55 \ s

The horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is calculated as;

X = U_x \times \ t\\\\X = 50 \times \ 6.55\\\\X = 327.5 \ m

Therefore, the horizontal distance covered by the cannonball before it hits the ground is 327.5 m

Marizza181 [45]
I believe the best example of Newton's First Law of motion would be the example or illustration with the basketball player. An object will move in a straight line or a given direction at a constant speed unless or until another force acts upon the object, causing a change in speed and or direction.

Julio hit a baseball. What caused the ball to change direction at the time of impact?
WARRIOR [948]
The answer is c. the force of his swing

At the time of the impact, there is a collision between two bodies moving in opposite directions. 

The force exerted on the ball causes the change of velocity.

klio [65]

Explanation:

F=m(v-u)/t

F=2N

m=2kg

t=2s

2=2(v-u)/2

cross multiply

2*2=2(v-u)

4=2(v-u)

4/2=v-u

v-u=2m/s

v-u is the change is velocity.
