Answer:

First you have to calculate the velocity it will be traveling at when it has fallen halfway, which is 5m in this problem. The kinematic equation V^2=v^2+2gd, where V is the velocity after falling through a certain distance under gravity, v is the initial velocity which is zero here, g is the gravitational acceleration(9.81ms^-2), and d is the distance through which it fell which is 5m here. Once you find the velocity V after falling through the 5m vertical distance or height under gravity, then you use the Kinetic energy equation K.E.=1/2MV^2(Where M is the mass which is 16kg here, and 9.90m/s is the calculated velocity V here) to calculate the instantaneous kinetic energy that the stone will be traveling with at that point. The calculated K.E. works out to be 784.8J(joules). The other way to do it is from energy principles. At the maximum height the potential energy would have been: PE=F•h=mgh=16kg•9.81m/s^2•10m=1,569.6J, hence at half the height the kinetic energy or KE would be half of that value which is 784.8 J, the same as in the earlier calculation. The solution through the energy-method is simpler and faster. Kaiser T, MD.

(a) What is the escape speed on a spherical asteroid whose radius is 545 km and whose gravitational acceleration at the surface

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

1777.92 m/s

Explanation:

R = Radius of asteroid = 545 km

M = Mass of planet

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 2.9 m/s²

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

Acceleration due to gravity is given by

$g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}\\\Rightarrow M=\dfrac{gR^2}{G}$

The expression of escape velocity is given by

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2G}{R}\dfrac{gR^2}{G}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gR}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\times 2.9\times 545000}\\\Rightarrow v=1777.92\ m/s$

The escape speed is 1777.92 m/s

Answer:

D) momentum of cannon + momentum of projectile= 0

Explanation:

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of an isolated system is constant.

In this case, the system cannon+projectile can be considered as isolated, because no external forces act on it (in fact, the surface is frictionless, so there is no friction acting on the cannon). Therefore, the total momentum of the two objects (cannon+projectile) must be equal before and after the firing:

$p_i = p_f$

But the initial momentum is zero, because at the beginning both the cannon and the projectile are at rest:

$p_i = 0$

So the final momentum, which is sum of the momentum of the cannon and of the projectile, must also be zero:

$p_f = p_{cannon}+p_{projectile} =0$
