From the information given, cannon ball weighs 40 kg and has a potential energy of 14000 J.

We need to find its height.

We will use the formula P.E = mgh

Therefore h = P.E / mg

where P.E is the potential energy,

m is mass in kg,

g is acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

h is the height of the object's displacement in meters.

h = P.E. / mg

h = 14000 / 40 × 9.8

h = 14000 / 392

h = 35.7

Therefore the canon ball was 35.7 meters high.

What difficulty will you encounter if you only have data from two recording station?

denpristay [2]

<span>If you have only two data from two recording stations then you will be having a hard time finding the correct location of the epicenter. This is because triangulation method requires 3 recording station. If you have 2 recording station, the 2 circles will intersect at 2 points giving you 2 locations that could possibly be the epicenter.</span>

If she only has 21 buttons and all 21 of them are large, then all of her buttons are large. so 100% of the buttons would be large.

Answer:

$\alpha =-2.2669642\times^{-10}rad/s^2$

Explanation:

Angular acceleration is defined by $\alpha =\frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\Delta t}$

Angular velocity is related to the period by $\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}$

Putting all together:

$\alpha =\frac{\frac{2\pi}{T_f}-\frac{2\pi}{T_i}}{\Delta t}=\frac{2\pi}{\Delta t}(\frac{1}{T_f}-\frac{1}{T_i})$

Taking our initial (i) point now and our final (f) point one year later, we would have:

$\Delta t=1\ year=(365)(24)(60)(60)s=31536000
s$

$T_i=0.0786s$

$T_f=0.0786s+7.03\times10^{-6}s$

So for our values we have:

$\alpha =\frac{2\pi}{\Delta t}(\frac{1}{T_f}-\frac{1}{T_i})=\frac{2\pi}{31536000s}(\frac{1}{0.0786s+7.03\times10^{-6}s}-\frac{1}{0.0786s})=-2.2669642\times^{-10}rad/s^2$

Where the minus sign indicates it is decelerating.
