An 8 kilogram cannonball is loaded into a 1000 kilogram stationary cannon. When fired horizontally the velocity of the cannonball is 300 meters per second east. Determine the cannon's recoil velocity.

The  recoil velocity of the cannon is 2.38 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of cannonball, m₁ = 8 kg

mass of stationary cannon, m₂ = 1000 kg

initial velocity of the cannonball, u₁ = 300 m/s

initial velocity of the cannon, u₂ = 0

Let the recoil velocity of the cannon, = v

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

8(300) + 1000(0) = v(8 + 1000)

2400 = v(1008)

v = 2400/1008

v = 2.38 m/s

Therefore, the  recoil velocity of the cannon is 2.38 m/s.

when a device is used in a circuit in which the voltage is 81 v, the current flowing through the device is 3 a. what is the resistance of the device?

a. 27 ω

b. 40.5 a

c. 243 ω

d. 243 a

the correct answer is a. 27
