Answer:
D th
Explanation:
D B. The force applied to the ball is a balanced force.
Answer:
, the minus meaning west.
Explanation:
We know that linear momentum must be conserved, so it will be the same before (
) and after (
) the explosion. We will take the east direction as positive.
Before the explosion we have
.
After the explosion we have pieces 1 and 2, so
.
These equations must be vectorial but since we look at the instants before and after the explosions and the bomb fragments in only 2 pieces the problem can be simplified in one dimension with direction east-west.
Since we know momentum must be conserved we have:

Which means (since we want
and
):

So for our values we have:

Answer:
1.7 m
Explanation:
= Velocity of ball in x direction = 4.47 m/s
= Velocity of ball in y direction = 0
g = Acceleration due to gravity = 
t = Time taken
= Vertical displacement = 0.7 m

Horizontal displacement is given by

The passenger should throw the ball 1.7 m in front of the bucket.
Yes, it do, for a short time.
Yes potential increases while kinetic decreases
