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.

What is the volume of a rock with a density of 3.00 g/cm3 and a mass of 600g?
Mademuasel [1]
The equation of D = m/V

Where D = density
m = mass
and V = volume

We are solving for V, so with the manipulation of variables we multiply V on both sides giving us 
V(D) = m 
now we divide D on both sides giving us
V = m/D 

We know our mass which is 600g and our density is 3.00 g/cm^3
so
V = 600g/3.00g/cm^3 = 200cm^3  or 200mL

a cubic centimeter (cm^3) is one of the units for volume. It's exactly like mL. 1 cm^3 = 1 mL
 
If you wish to change it to L, you'd have to convert.

Particle A and particle B, each of mass M, move along the x-axis exerting a force on each other. The potential energy of the sys
Archy [21]

Speed of particle B is 2v₀/3 m/s to the left. Particle A and particle B will always have equal speed since they experience equal forces.

<h3>Conservation of energy</h3>

The speed and direction of the particle B is determined by applying the principle of conservation of energy as follows;

K.E₁ + P.E₁ = K.E₂ + P.E₂

\frac{1}{2} Mv^2_A + \frac{G}{r^2} = \frac{1}{2} Mv^2_B + \frac{G}{r^2} \\\\ \frac{1}{2} Mv^2_A = \frac{1}{2} Mv^2_B\\\\v^2_A = v^2_B\\\\v_A = v_B

v_B = \frac{2v_0}{3}  \ m/s \ to \ the \ left

At any given position, the speed of particle A and particle B will be equal, since they experience equal force and they have equal masses.

The complete question is below:

Particle A and particle B, each of mass M, move along the x-axis exerting a force on each other. The potential energy of the system of two particles assosicated with the force is given by the equation U=G/r 2, where r is the distance between the two particles and G is a positive constant. At time t=T1 particle A is observed to be traveling with speed 2vo/3 to the left. The speed and direction of motion of particle B is ?

If a diver displace water with a weight of 500N what is the upthrust on the diver?​
ki77a [65]

Answer:

500 N

Explanation:

Natural bouyency will keep the diver in the same place, no matter what the mass of gfs. This means if the diver is displacing with a weight of 500 N, the upthrust will also be 500 N.
