Hobbyists build a compressed air powered cannon which is able to launch a pumpkin a horizontal distance of 2700 ft. Assuming no air resistance, and assuming the pumpkin is launched at ground level, what is the minimum initial speed of the pumpkin (just as it leaves the cannon) that is needed for it to reach this distance, in m/s?

25pts the diagram shows the positions of the sun, moon and earth during spring tides, when the high tides are at their highest and low tides at their lowest. what is it about these positions that causes these high and low tides?

Chapter 23, problem 075 the figure shows a geiger counter, a device used to detect ionizing radiation (radiation that causes ionization of atoms). the counter consists of a thin, positively charged central wire surrounded by a concentric, circular, conducting cylindrical shell with an equal negative charge. thus, a strong radial electric field is set up inside the shell. the shell contains a low-pressure inert gas. a particle of radiation entering the device through the shell wall ionizes a few of the gas atoms. the resulting free electrons (e) are drawn to the positive wire. however, the electric field is so intense that, between collisions with gas atoms, the free electrons gain energy sufficient to ionize these atoms also. more free electrons are thereby created, and the process is repeated until the electrons reach the wire. the resulting "avalanche" of electrons is collected by the wire, generating a signal that is used to record the passage of the original particle of radiation. suppose the radius of the central wire is 24 âµm, the inner radius of the shell 2.3 cm, and the length of the shell 14 cm. if the electric field at the shell's inner wall is 2.8 ă— 104 n/c, what is the total positive charge on the central wire?

Can anybody me with this? ? (picture included.)
