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

What type of heat transfer is used to fry an egg in a pan and how can you tell?
Deffense [45]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A process in which transfer of heat occurring when one object touches another object is known as conduction.  

For example, when a pan is heated and then an egg is placed over the pan. Then there will be transfer of heat from pan towards the egg.

As a result, the egg gets cooked because the egg was touching the pan.

Hence, we can conclude that it is conduction because the egg is touching the pan.
