A cannon is fired horizontally from atop a 40.0 m tower. The cannonball travels 175 m horizontally before it strikes the ground.

With what velocity did the ball leave the muzzle?

The vertical movement of the projectile is described by:

y = H - gt² / 2

When the cannonball is on the ground, y= 0 so:

0 = H - gt² /2

Solving for t:

t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2H}{g}} = \sqrt{\dfrac{2(40\;m)}{9.8\;m/s^2}} = 2.8\;s

The horizontally movement of the projectile is described by:

x = v₀t

Solving for v₀:

v₀ = x/t

v₀ = 175 m / 2.8 s

v₀ = 61.5 m/s

A charge q moves from point A to point B. The potential energy of the charge at point A is 5.3 _ 10-10 joules and at point is B
stiv31 [10]
The change in electric potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy; thus:
K.E = 5.3 x 10⁻¹⁰ - 3.1 x 10⁻¹⁰
K.E = 2.2 x 10⁻¹⁰ Joules
Option D is correct.
