A 1600kg cannon fires a 5kg cannonball horizontally. The exit velocity of the cannonball is 80m/s and the barrel length is 2m. What is the average acceleration of the cannonball before it leaves the barrel?

Sagot :

Answer:

 a = 1600 m / s²

Explanation:

For this exercise we use the kinematics relations,

         v² = v₀² + 2 a x

where v₀ is the initial velocity of the bullet, which as part of rest is zero, for the distance (x) we can assume that the gases accelerate along the entire trajectory of the cannon x = 2m

         a = [tex]\frac{v^2}{2x}[/tex]

let's calculate

         a = [tex]\frac{80^2}{2 \ 2}[/tex]

         a = 1600 m / s²
