A 1450 kg cannon, which fires a 80 kg shell with a speed of 526 m/s relative to the muzzle, is set at an elevation angle of 39° above the horizontal. The cannon is mounted on frictionless rails, so that it recoils freely. What is the speed of the shell with respect to the Earth? At what angle with the ground is the shell projected?

1)An outdoor circular fish pond has a diameter of 4.00 m and a uniform full depth of 1.40m . A fish halfway down in the pond and 0.70m from the near side can just see the full height of a 1.80m tall person.How far away from the edge of the pond is the person?
2)Two people stand 5.2m apart and 3.1m away from a large plane mirror in a dark room. At what angle of incidence should one of them shine a flashlight on the mirror so that the reflected beam directly strikes the other person?
3)A beam of light is incident on a plane mirror at an angle of 41? relative to the normal.What is the angle between the reflected ray and the surface of the mirror?

A hydrogen atom, initially at rest, absorbs an ultraviolet photon with a wavelength of λ=177.9nm.
Part A:
What is the atom's final speed if it now emits an identical photon in a direction that is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the original photon?
Express your answer to three significant figures and include appropriate units.
Part B:
What is the atom's final speed if it now emits an identical photon in a direction that is opposite to the direction of motion of the original photon?
Express your answer to three significant figures and include appropriate units.

A boy on a bicycle moving with 10 m/s approaches a moving car with 5 m/s (both are moving in the same direction) as he sounds his horn at frequency 400.00 Hz. The sounds he hears reflected back from the car. Assume speed of sound is 340 m/s. Calculate the frequency the boy perceives.
What would be the answer plus a step by step guide on how you managed this problem?
Thank you.
