Answer:

(b) 490 N downwards

Explanation:

(b) Formula : w= mg

m is the mass of the object

g is a gravitational constant (9.8)

w= mg

= 50×9.8

= 490 N downwards

A cannon of mass 5.71 x 103 kg is rigidly bolted to the earth so it can recoil only by a negligible amount. The cannon fires a 7

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

541.14 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of cannon= $m_1=5.71\times 10^3 kg$

Mass of shell, $m_2=73.5 kg$

Initial velocity of shell,v=547 m/s

We have to find the velocity of shell fired from this loose cannon.

According to law of conservation of momentum

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1u_1+m_2u_2$

Initial momentum of system=0

$m_1v_1=-m_2v_2$

$v_1=-\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1}$

When the cannon is bolted to the ground then only shell moves and kinetic energy of system equals to kinetic energy of shell

Kinetic energy of shell, $K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}\times 73.5(547)^2}=1.09\times 10^7 J$

K.E of shell= $\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_1+\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2_2$

K.E of shell= $\frac{1}{2}m_1(-\frac{m_2v_2}{m_1})^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2_2$

K.E of shell= $\frac{1}{2}(\frac{m^2_2v^2_2}{m_1}+\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2_2)$

2K.E of shell= $m_2v^2_2(\frac{m_2}{m_1}+1)$

Velocity of shell fired from this loose cannon,v_2= $\sqrt{\frac{2k.E}{m_2(\frac{m_2}{m_1}+1)}$

$v_2=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 1.09\times 10^7}{73.5(\frac{73.5}{5.71\times 10^3}+1)}$

$v_2=541.14m/s$

Hence, the velocity of shell fired from this loose cannon would be 541.14 m/s

What does this mean?

Alexeev081 [22]

Well, in some systems the atoms melt or burn or change state like from liquid to gases when they reach a certain temperature. This could decrease the energy in the system.

Calculate the acceleration of an airplane that starts at rest and reaches a speed 45m/s in 9 seconds

sasho [114]

I believe the acceleration would be 5m/s

All you would need to do is divide the final speed by the time it took to get there. I am only about 80 sure this answer is correct, so take my advise only if you feel comfortable.

Which mathematical formula would you use to calculate the IMA of a wheel?

Crazy boy [7]

As shown in the figure, the ideal mechanical advantage is calculated by dividing the radius of the wheel by the radius of the axle. Any crank-operated device is an example of a wheel and axle. Force applied to a wheel exerts a force on its axle.
