Answer:

Explanation:

Ruler. A steel ruler aids the measurement and layout of straight lines. The ruler, also called "straightedge" or "straight-edged ruler," is a long, thin strip of wood, metal or plastic marked with increments of measurement.

Measuring Tape. The modern measuring tape's roughly palm-sized casing contains a coiled strip of metal marked with increments of measurement. The metal strip, called "tape," attaches to a spring which automatically retracts the tape into the casing following use.

Walking Tape Measure. The walking tape measure, also called "surveyor's measure," records the distance traveled by a wheel. An operator pushes the measure's wheel, similar to a bicycle wheel, by a handle as an attached ticker box displays feet or meters in the same format as a car's odometer.

Laser Measure. The laser measure offers point and shoot distance measurement. In its most basic form, a laser measure is a hand-held electronic device with a digital display.

20.0 -kg cannonball is fired from a cannon with muzzle speed of 1000m/s at an angle of 37.0° with the horizontal. A second ball

Dovator [93]

The mechanical energy for the first and the second ball is

$10 ^{7} \: joules.$

Mass of the first ball = 20 kg

The initial speed at which a cannonball is fired from a cannon =1000 m/s

The angle made by the cannonball while being fired from the cannon = 37°

The maximum height reached by the first ball is,

$= \frac{ u {}^{2} _{1}sin {}^{2} θ}{2g}$

$= \frac{ {1000}^{2} sin {}^{2}37°}{2 \times 9.8}$

$= 18478.69 \: m$

The maximum height of the first cannonball is 17478.69 m.

The initial speed at which a cannonball is fired from a cannon =1000 m/s

The angle made by the cannonball while being fired from the cannon = 90 °

$= \frac{ u {}^{2} _{2}sin {}^{2} θ}{2g}$

$= \frac{ 1000{}^{2}sin^{2} 90°}{2 \times 9.8}[tex] = 51020.41 \: m$

For the first ball, total mechanical energy= Potential energy at maximum height + kinetic energy at the maximum height

So, the total mechanical energy is,

= mgh \: + \frac{1}{2}mv {}^{2} _{x}[/tex]

$= 20 \times 9.8 \times 18478.64 \times \frac{20}{2} (1000 \: cos37 °)$

$= 10 ^{7} The potential energy at the maximum height, = m _{2}gh$

$= 20 \times 9.8 \times 51020.41$

$= 10 ^{7} \:J$

Therefore, the total mechanical energy for the first and the

$\:second \: cannonball \: is \: 10 ^{7} \:joules.$

PLEASE ANSWER QUICK!! What happens at the condensation point?A. Molecules of a liquid heat up and begin to convert to a gaseous

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

D. Molecules of a gas slow down and change to a liquid state.

Explanation:

Condensation refers to a process by which a gas changes from gaseous state to liquid state. For example, water vapor changes to from the state of being a gas to liquid state water.
Condensation is the opposite of evaporation and occurs when gaseous particles slow down and change into liquid state.
Heat energy is lost during condensation and gaseous molecules lose kinetic energy making them to slow down and thus changing to liquid state,
