An internal explosion breaks an object, initially at rest, into two pieces: A and B. Piece A has 1.9 times the mass of piece B.

The energy of 7900 J is released in the explosion.

Kinetic energy of pieces A and B are 2724 Joule and 5176 Joule respectively.

<h3>What is the relation between the masses of A and B?</h3>
  • Let mass of piece A = Ma

Mass of piece B = Mb

  • Velocities of pieces A and B are Va and Vb respectively.
  • As per conservation of momentum,

Ma×Va = Mb×Vb

  • Here, Ma=1.9Mb

So, 1.9Mb × Va = Mb×Vb

=> 1.9Va = Vb

<h3>What are the kinetic energy of piece A and B?</h3>
  • Expression of kinetic energy of piece A = 1/2 × Ma × Va²
  • Kinetic energy of piece B = 1/2 × Mb × Vb²
  • Total kinetic energy= 7900J

=>1/2 × Ma × Va² + 1/2 × Mb × Vb² = 7900

=> 1/2 × Ma × Va² + 1/2 × (Ma/1.9) × (1.9Va)² = 7900

=> 1/2 × Ma × Va² ×(1+1.9) = 7900 j

=> 1/2 × Ma × Va² = 7900/2.9 = 2724 Joule

  • Kinetic energy of piece B = 7900 - 2724 = 5176 Joule

Thus, we can conclude that the kinetic energy of piece A and B are 2724 Joule and 5176 Joule respectively.

.Ryan boiled a liter of water and then stirred sugar into it, adding more sugar until no more would dissolve in the water, creat
kaheart [24]

Answer: The correct option is that all of the sugar will come out of solution, and pure water will float to the top

Explanation:

Solution in the field of Chemistry is usually made up of two or more substances which contains a solute that dissolves in a solvent.

A solution can either be:

-> Saturated

--> Unsaturated or

-> Supersaturated.

A saturated solution is a solution with solutes that dissolves until it is unable to dissolve anymore leaving the undissolved solute beneath.

When there is mixture of a solute and a solvent in a solution the reactions that occurs are called crystallization and dissolution. Crystallization causes solid solutes to remain undissolved while dissolution is simply the dissolving process of the solute.

When Ryan added more sugar after reaching the saturation point of the mixture, the process of crystallization set in which surpassed the process of dissolution of the sugar solute leading to precipitation of the solute of out the solution.

Refraction occurs through a glass slab why​
masha68 [24]

Answer:

One when it enters the glass slab from air and second time when it enters the air through glass slab. When light rays travelling through air enters glass slab, they get refracted and bend towards the normal. Now the direction of refracted ray changes again when it comes out of the glass slab into air.
