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

What is the mass of a dog that weighs 382 N?(unit=kg)
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: mass = 38.93 kg

Explanation:

Data

mass = ?

Weight = 382 N

gravity = 9.81 m/s2

Formula

Weight = mass x gravity

mass = weight / gravity

mass = 382 / 9.81         substitution

mass = 38.93 kg           result

What is the connection between angle of incidence and angle of reflection
Radda [10]

Answer:

The normal line divides the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray into two equal angles. The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known as the angle of incidence. The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is known as the angle of reflection.

ou are sitting in your car at rest at a traffic light with a bicyclist at rest next to you in the adjoining bicycle lane. As soo
madam [21]

Till the time car is just adjacent to the bicycle we can say

distance moved by cycle = distance moved by car

Time taken by car to accelerate from rest

t = \frac{v_f - v_i}{a}

t = \frac{49 - 0}{7} = 7 s

Time taken by cycle to accelerate

t = \frac{23 - 0}{15} = 1.53 s

now the distance moved by cycle in time "t"

d = \frac{23 + 0}{2}*1.53 + 23(t - 1.53)

distance moved by car in same time

d = \frac{7t + 0}{2}(t)

now make them equal

3.5t^2 = 17.595 - 35.19 + 23t

3.5 t^2 - 23t + 17.595 = 0

t = 5.68 s

so cycle will move ahead of car for t = 5.68 s
