A 5.0 kg cannonball is fired horizontally at 68 m/s from a 15-m-high cliff. A strong tailwind exerts a constant 12 N horizontal

force in the direction the cannonball is traveling. What is the extra distance (d)?

Answer:

3.7 m

Explanation:

ASSUMING this means extra distance beyond where the cannonball would land WITHOUT the wind assistance but in general ignoring air resistance. Hmmmmmm...tricky

The ball drops from vertical rest to ASSUMED horizontal ground 15 m below in a time of

t = √ (2h/g) = √(2(15)/9.8) = 1.75 s

Without the tail wind, the ball travels horizontally

d = vt = 68(1.75) = 119 m

The tailwind exerts a constant acceleration on the ball of

a = F/m = 12/5.0 = 2.4 m/s²

The average horizontal velocity during the flight is

v(avg) = (68 + (68 + 2.4(1.75)) / 2 = 70.1 m/s

so the distance with tailwind is

d = v(avg)t = 70.1(1.75) = 122.675 m

The extra distance is 122.675 - 119 = 3.675 = 3.7 m

A current of 0.2 A flows through a conductor for 5minutes. How much charge would have passed through the conductor?​
Montano1993 [528]

As we know,

electric \:  \: current =  \dfrac{charge}{time}

so, let's solve for charge (q) :

time = 5 minutes = 5 × 60 seconds = 300 seconds.

  • 0.2 =  \dfrac{q}{300}

  • q = 300 \times 0.2

  • q = 60

hence, the charge = 60 coulombs (C)

Space-shuttle astronauts experience accelerations of about 35 m/s2 during takeoff. What force does a 75 kg astronaut experience
amm1812

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 2625 N</h3>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 75 × 35

We have the final answer as

<h3>2625 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

What two quantities must stay the same in order for an object to have a constant velocity?
pentagon [3]
<span>Velocity is a vector and it has both speed and direction. It takes a force to change direction just as it does to change speed</span>. In order to have a constant velocity the object must maintain a constant direction and speed. Hope this answers the questions. Have a nice day.

The net force acting on an object that is in equilibrium is...?
Ratling [72]

Answer: If the object is at equilibrium, then the net force acting upon the object should be 0 Newton. Thus, if all the forces are added together as vectors, then the resultant force (the vector sum) should be 0 Newton.

Magnitude: 3.4 N

Direction: 161 deg
