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

It's been a while since I've studied this, but my answers would be:

13. 5730 years. The half-life of a substance is the amount of time it takes for half of it to decay, and, according to the graph, half of the substance remained at 5730 years.

14. 10740 years. According to the graph, only 25% of the carbon remained after 10740 years.

15. 15 atoms. According to the graph, only 12.5% of the carbon remained after 16110 years. 12.5% of 120 atoms is 15 atoms.

16. 1600 atoms. According to the graph, if a sample of carbon is 10740 years old, only 25% of it remains. To find the original amount, multiply the current amount by (100% / 25%), which equals 4. So, 4. 400 atoms * 4 = 1600 atoms is the original amount.
