A historian claims that a cannonball fired at a castle wall would melt on impact with the wall. Let's examine this claim. Assume that the kinetic energy of the cannonball is completely transformed into the internal energy of the cannonball on impact with no energy transferred to the wall. The cannonball is made of iron, which has a specific heat capacity of 450 J/kg-K and a melting point of 1811 K. 1)If the cannonball has an initial temperature of 298 K, how fast would the cannonball need to travel in order to reach its melting point on impact?

Aball is thrown from the top of a building with an initial velocity of 21.9 m/s straight upward, at an initial height of 51.6 m above the ground. the ball just misses the edge of the roof on its way down, as shown in the figure. (a) determine the time needed for the ball to reach its maximum height. (b) determine the maximum height. (c) determine the time needed for the ball to return to the height from which it was thrown, and the velocity of the ball at that instant. (d) determine the time needed for the ball to reach the ground. (e) determine the velocity and position of the ball at t = 5.35 s.
