In Newton's cannonball experiment, if the velocity is equal to the orbital velocity then the cannonball will stay in Orbit.
Newtons cannonball experiment stated that the distance that a cannonball will travel, before being drawn into the Earth by the forces of gravity, is dependent on the initial velocity.
Therefore, if the cannonball is launched at a velocity that matches the orbital velocity, then it will not be able to be drawn in by gravity due to the Earth moving away from the cannonball at the same speed at which the cannonball itself is falling.
This means that the cannonball will continue to fall without reaching the Earth, therefore staying in orbit, much like that of the moon or planets around the sun.

When heat is applied, energy is applied. so since the state is a solid, there is no terms of energy being applied. Energy is basically "frozen" water turns to ice due to the object reaching its freezing point.
Answer: a. 126.21secs
b. 12.621 meters.
Explanation:
Given data:
Speed of tortoise = 0.1m/s.
Speed of hare = 2m/s.
Solution:
a. Distance traveled = Speed* Time
Speed of tortoise = 0.1 m/s
Speed of hare = 20*0.1 m/s = 2 m/s
2 minutes = 2* 60 s = 120 s
Let the time taken for the race be t seconds.
• Distance moved by tortoise
= (0.1 /s)* (t s)
= 0.1*t meter
•Hare has run for a time of (t - 120)s.
distance moved by hare
= Speed * Time
= (2 m/s)*(t- 120)s
= (2t - 240) meter.
Since hare is 20 cm (0.2 m) behind the tortoise, therefore
(0.1*t - 0.2) meter
= (2t - 240) meter
0.1*t - 0.2 = 2t - 240
Collect like terms
239.8 = 1.9t
Divide both sides by 1.9
t = 126.21secs
The race lasted for 126.21secs
b. Length of race
= Distance moved by tortoise
= 0.1*126.21 meter
= 12.621 meter
The length of the race is 12.621 meters.
