Sir Marvin decided to improve the destructive power of his cannon by increasing the size of his cannonballs. Sir Seymour kept hi

s cannonballs the same size, but improved his powder to provide more velocity. a) Which knight will have the more destructive cannon? Why?

We really can't tell from the given information. 
We don't know HOW MUCH Marv enlarged his cannonballs,
or HOW MUCH faster Seymour's balls became.

If we assume that they both, let's say, DOUBLED something,
then Seymour accomplished more, and the destructive capability
of his balls has increased more. 

I say that because the destructive capability of a cannonball is
pretty much just its kinetic energy when it arrives and hits the target.
Now, we all know the equation for kinetic energy.

                K.E.  =  (1/2) (mass) (speed-SQUARED) .

We can see right away that if Marv started shooting balls with
double the mass but at the same speed, then they have double
the kinetic energy of the old ones.

But if Seymour started shooting the same balls with double the SPEED,
then they have (2-SQUARED) as much kinetic energy as they used to.

That's 4 times as much destructive capability as before.  

So we can say that when it comes to cannons and their balls and
smashing things to bits and terrorizing your opponents, if making
a bigger mess is better, then more mass is better, but more speed
is better-squared.

Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

182.28 W

Explanation:

Here ,

m = 7.30 Kg

distance , d= 28.0 m

time , t = 11.0 s

average power supplied = change in potential energy/time

average power supplied = m×g×d/time

average power supplied = 7.30×9.81×28/11

average power supplied = 182.28 W

the average power supplied is  182.28 W

Explain what an exoskeleton is and what it is made of.
sergey [27]
The bodies of arthropods are supported, not by internal bones, but by a hardened exoskeleton<span> made of </span>chitin<span>, a substance produced by many non-arthropods as well. In arthropods, the nonliving exoskeleton is like a form-fitting suit of armor. It is produced by the "skin" and then hardens into a protective outer-covering.</span>

At the circus, the Human Cannonball is
svlad2 [7]

The correct answer is  1.4285714.

In physics, velocity is characterised as a vector measurement of the motion's direction and speed. To be more precise, the rate of change in an object's position relative to a frame of reference and time is another way to describe velocity. The definition of velocity simply states the rate of motion of an object in a specific direction. It determines how quickly or slowly something is going.

Velocity = distance/ time  

Thus time = distance/velocity

Here velocity = 350m/s

diatnce = 500 m

time = 500/350

time = 1.42857142857

t= 200m /350m/s  = 1.4285714
