C) total linear momentum of the ball and cannon is conserved.

Basically it happens that in the beginning before there is a momentum acting on the two bodies, these are a unique system. Here the total momentum of the System is 0. However, when the positive momentum of the cannonball is added, the system will be immediately affected by a negative momentum which will pull back the cannon. Could this be extrapolated as a condition of Newton's third law.

calculate the work done in kilo joules in lifting a mass of 20kg at steady velocity through a vertical height of 20m

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{\sf Work\ done = 4 kJ}$

Explanation:

Since work done is in the form of potential energy, we will use the formula of potential energy here.

We know that,

Where,

m = mass = 20 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

h = vertical height = 20 m

So,

Work done = (20)(10)(20)

Work done = 4000 joules

Work done = 4 kJ

She wants to travel back to Madison by train. The distance from Chicago to Madison is 147 miles and takes 2.47 hours. If she mak

levacccp [35]

Answer:

59.51 mph.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Distance (d) = 147 miles

Time (t) = 2.47 hours.

Speed (S) =?

Speed is defined as the distance travelled per unit time. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

Speed (S) = Distance (d) / time (t)

S = d/t

With the above formula, we can obtain the speed of the girl as illustrated below:

Distance (d) = 147 miles

Time (t) = 2.47 hours.

Speed (S) =?

S = d/t

S = 147 miles / 2.47 hours.

S = 59.51 miles per hour (mph)

Thus, the speed of the girl is 59.51 mph.

If size of an image is 10 cm and the magnification produced by a mirror is +1, what will be the size of object?

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

h = 10 cm

Explanation:

The magnification produced by a mirror is given by :

$m=\dfrac{h'}{h}$

h' is the image size and h is the object size

We have, h = 10 cm, m = +1

So,

$m=\dfrac{h'}{h}\\\\h=\dfrac{10}{1}\\\\h=10\ cm$

So, the size off the object is same as that of the size of the image i.e. 10 cm.
