Question
Using the alternate form of Newton's second law, compute the force (in N) needed to accelerate a 1,170 kg car from 0 to 16 m/s in 20 s. The change in momentum is the car's momentum when traveling 16 m/s minus its momentum when going 0 m/s. (Enter the magnitude.)

- A cannon of mass M fires a projectile of mass m. The energy liberated in firing is E. Assume the projectile is discharged horizontally and that the cannon is mounted on wheels of a negligible mass. Using the fact that the energy E is taken up by both cannon and projectile and that momentum is conserved in the firing, do the following: A) Find the velocity of the projectile in terms of the masses and the energy E. B) By writing the velocity of the recoiling cannon in terms of the velocity of the projectile, find a relationship between the energy liberated, E, and the energy of the projectile.
