Answer from: whatnowb

473.640 m

Explanation:

This situation is related to projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which the travel of the cannonball has two components: x-component and y-component. Being their main equations as follows:

x-component:

$x=V_{o}cos\theta t$ (1)

Where:

$V_{o}=48.1 m/s$ is the cannonball's initial velocity

$\theta=0$ because we are told the cannonball is shot horizontally

is the time since the cannonball is shot until it hits the ground

y-component:

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta t-\frac{gt^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=1.5m$ is the initial height of the cannonball

y=0 is the final height of the cannonball (when it finally hits the ground)

$g=9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

We need to find how far (horizontally) the cannonball has traveled before landing. This means we need to find the maximum distance in the x-component, let's call it $X_{max}$ and this occurs when y=0 .

So, firstly we will find the time with (2):

$0=1.5 m+48. 1 m/s sin(0\°) t-(4.9 m/s^{2})t^2$ (3)

Rearranging the equation:

$0=-(4.9 m/s^{2})t^2+48. 1 m/s sin(0\°) t+1.5 m$ (4)

$-(4.9 m/s^{2})t^2+(48. 1 m/s) t+1.5 m=0$ (5)

This is a quadratic equation (also called equation of the second degree) of the form $at^{2}+bt+c=0$ , which can be solved with the following formula:

$t=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ (6)

Where:

$a=-4.9 m/s^{2}$

b=48.1 m/s

c=1.5 m

Substituting the known values:

$t=\frac{-48.1 \pm \sqrt{48.1^{2}-4(-4.9)(1.5)}}{2(-4.9)}$ (7)

Solving (7) we find the positive result is:

t=9.847 s (8)

Substituting this value in (1):

$x=(48.1 m/s)cos(0\°) (9.847 s)$ (9)

x=473.640 m This is the horizontal distance the cannonball traveled before it landed on the ground.

Answer from: Quest

pretty sure it's false

Answer from: Quest

this is an example of "committed" time.

committed time, as contracted time, takes need over essential and available time since it is seen as profitable work. it alludes to the time allotted to keep up a home and family. at the point when a man is commuting using committed time this individual may feel that the drive is an obligation to family, for example, strolling youngsters to class or driving a mate to work. contracted and committed time clients may feel that their commute could really compare to the commute of important or leisure time clients on the grounds that their commute is profitable work. in this manner, they might be more disposed to pick a mechanized method of movement.
