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.

Answer:

$E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C$

direction is Horizontal

Explanation:

As we know that the string is horizontal here

so the tension force in the string is due to electrostatic force on it

now we will have

$F = qE$

so here the force is tension force on it

$F = 6.57 \times 10^{-2} N$

$Q = 6.80 \times 10^3 C$

now we have

$6.57 \times 10^{-2} = (6.80 \times 10^3)E$

$E = 9.66\times 10^{-6} N/C$

direction is Horizontal

Featured snippet from the web

Answer: Surface waves can have characteristics of both longitudinal and transverse waves in the following way; The motion of the surface waves is up and down which is perpendicular to the direction of the wave. This is similar to the motion of transverse waves whereas the the motion of longitudinal.

denpristay [2]

Answer:0.669

Explanation:

Given

mass of clock 93 kg

Initial force required to move it 610 N

After clock sets in motion it requires a force of 514 N to keep moving it with a constant velocity

Initially static friction is acting which is more than kinetic friction

thus 613 force is required to overcome static friction

$\mu _smg=610$

$\mu _s\times 93\times 9.8=610$

$\mu _s=0.669$
