F = 200 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the principle of conservation of linear momentum, which can be calculated by means of the following equation.

P=m*v

where:

P = lineal momentum [kg*m/s]

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

Now we must understand that the momentum is conserved before and after the firing of the cannon. Before firing the cannon we have the mass of the cannon and mass of the cannonball together at rest (speed = 0). After firing the cannon the cannonball moves forward with positive speed, while the cannon moves back (negative), in this way knowing the masses of each one we can determine the speed of the cannon.

$(m_{cannon}+m_{ball})*v_{1}=-(m_{cannon}*v_{2})+(m_{ball}*v_{3})$

where:

m_cannon = 2500 [kg]

m_ball = 2.5 [kg]

v₁ = 0 (velocity of the group before firing)

v₂ = velocity of the cannon after firing [m/s]

v₃ = 160 [m/s] (velocity of the cannonball after firing)

$(2500+2.5)*0 = -(2500*v_{2})+(2.5*160)\\v_{2}=0.16[m/s]$

Now using the following equation of kinematics, we can calculate the acceleration.

$v_{f}=v_{o}-a*t$

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0 (cannon comes to rest)

Vo = initial velocity = 0.16 [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time = 2 [s]

$0 = 0.16 - a*2\\2*a=0.16\\a = 0.08 [m/s^{2}]$

With the value of acceleration, we can use Newton's second law which tells us that the forces acting on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

ΣF = m*a

where:

F = force [N] (units of Newtons)

m = mass = 2500 [kg]

a = acceleration = 0.08 [m/s²]

$F = 2500*0.08\\F = 200 [N]$

Answer from: Quest

The objects do not reach terminal velocity there is not enough time from the time the object falls from when it hits the ground to achieve terminal velocity. an object must be placed higher to achieve terminal velocity in order to be in free fall.

Pl asaaap ! match the term to the correct description. a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move perpendicular to the direction in which the energy is traveling. a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move parallel to the direction in which the energy is traveling. movement that is back and forth, like an equal sign = a type of wave that transfers energy where the particles in the medium move in a circle motion while the energy travels left or right. movement that is like a t transfers energy from one location to another 1. wave 2. parallel movement 3. perpendicular movement 4. transverse wave 5. longitudinal wave 6. surface wave
