An 85-kg clown is fired from rest out of a 480-kg cannon. If the clown's speed is 18 meters per second after the firing, then what is the recoil speed of the cannon? (Round your answer to the nearest tenth.)
m/s

15.29m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1+m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 is the mass of the clown = 85kg

u1 is the velocity of the clown = 0m/s (fired out from rest)

m2 is the mass of the cannon = 480kg

u2 is the velocity of the cannon = 18m/s

Let v me the recoil speed of the cannon

Substitute into the formula

85(0)+480(18) = (85+480)v

0+8640 = 565v

v = 8640/565

v = 15.29m/s

Hence the recoil speed of the cannon is 15.29m/s

Explanation:

the expression 15n + 2(3p) represents the amount isaiah spent buying gasoline and snacks, where n represents the price of each gallon of gasoline and p represents the cost of each snack that he bought. which statement is true about the amount isaiah spent?

the aurora is formed when charged particles emitted from the sun during a solar flare penetrate the earth's magnetic shield and collide with atoms and molecules in our atmosphere. these collisions result in countless little bursts of light, called photons, which make up the aurora.

auroras are generated by charged solar particles hitting molecules in earth's atmosphere. this usually happens in high latitudes, because our planet’s magnetic field tends to funnel these particles toward the poles. that’s why it can be experienced in northern ohio.
