He slips, 10.0 falls to the ground takes the cannonball 1.65 seconds to fall to the ground, and air resistence is negligible. How much work is done by gravity on the falling cannonball? Number During the fall, what is the average power transfer to the cannonball due to the force of gravity? Number Next Exit

Explanation / Answer

Fall distance = 1/2 (t^2 x g) = 13.35 metres.
It's AN 10 kg. cannonball.
Gravitational force = (g x 10) = 9.8 x 10 = 98 N.
Work done by gravity = (98 x 13.35m) = 1308.3 Joules.
Pwer average = (1308.3/1.65) = 792.909W.
