The cannon on a battleship can fire a shell a maximum distance of 33.0 km.
(a) Calculate the initial velocity of the shell.

Sagot :

Answer:

v = 804.23 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The maximum distance covered by a cannon, d = 33 km = 33000 m

We need to find the initial velocity of the shell. Let it is v. It can be calculated using the conservation of energy such that,

[tex]v=\sqrt{2gh} \\\\v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 33000} \\\\v=804.23\ m/s[/tex]

So, the initial velocity of the shell is 804.23 m/s.
