Suppose a cannon is sitting on top of a 50.0 m high hill and a 5.00 kg cannon ball is fired with a velocity of 30.0 m/s at some

unknown angle. What is the velocity of the cannon ball when it strikes the earth?

The final velocity of the cannon ball when it strikes the earth is 43.36 m/s.

The given parameters:

  • <em>Height of the hill, h = 50 m</em>
  • <em>Mass of the cannon, m = 5 kg</em>
  • <em>Velocity of the ball, v = 30 m/s</em>

The final velocity of the cannon ball when it strikes the earth is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of energy as follows;

P.E_i + K.E_i = P.E_f + K.E_f\\\\mgh_i + \frac{1}{2} mv_i^2 = mgh_f + \frac{1}{2} mv_f^2\\\\gh_i + \frac{1}{2} v_i^2 = g(0) + \frac{1}{2} v_f^2\\\\2gh_i + v_i^2 = v_f^2\\\\v_f = \sqrt{2gh_i + v_i^2 } \\\\v_f = \sqrt{(2 \times 9.8 \times 50) \ \ + \ \ 30^2} \\\\v_f = 43.36 \ m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the cannon ball when it strikes the earth is 43.36 m/s.

A boy swings a ball on a string at constant speed in a circle that has a circumference equal to 6 m. What is the work done on th
Grace [21]

Answer:

0 J

Explanation:

From the diagram below; we would notice that the Force (F) = Tension (T)

Also the angle θ adjacent to the perpendicular line = 90 °

The Workdone W = F. d

W = Fd cos θ

W = Fd cos 90°

W = Fd (0)

W = 0 J

Hence the force is perpendicular to the direction of displacement and the net work done in a circular motion in one complete revolution is = 0

A 0.5 kg ball is tied to a swung in a circle with a radius of 0.400m.If the ball is accelerating at 58.8 m/s^2,what is the tange
jeka57 [31]
If the acceleration is centripetal then the formula is a=v^2/r
Plug in 58.8=v^2/.400 solve for v
V=12.12 m/s

15. The above figure shows the path of a ray of light falling on the mirror(s) represented by a box. Which of the following arra
lana [24]

Answer: A

Explanation:

From the figure given as attachments, the error pointing upward signifies the incident ray while the one point downwards signifies the reflected ray.

One of the laws of reflection is stated that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection.

Since the two arrows are parallel to each other, then the mirror must be perpendicular to the two arrows. That is, the incident ray and the reflected ray must be perpendicular to the mirror.

Option A is the correct answer.

Two advantages of solar energy over energy from Fossil fuels​
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

1)Fuel Sourcing

2)Power Generation

Explanation:

1)Fuel Sourcing : Fossil fuels must be located, excavated and transported before they can be used. These processes are invasive and detrimental to the land through side effects such as erosion as well as ecological and geologic instability. Then the deposit or well is depleted. Energy from the sun is infinite and free. It can be harnessed and turned into power anywhere a solar panel can be mounted.

2)Power Generation: Fossil fuels must be burned to produce electricity. Burning them creates unwanted byproducts that can create air and water pollution and release huge amounts of greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.
