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.

A flare is shot from a snowmobile with an initial velocity of 4.3 m/s at 90*, while the snowmobile is moving at 8.5 m/s at 0.0*.
Sedaia [141]

The driver is tooling along in his snowmobile, pointed north,
at 8.5 m/s.

He's carrying the flares with him, so the flares are also moving north
at 8.5 m/s.

When he fires the flare straight up, it has a vertical velocity of 4.3 m/s
straight up, and a horizontal velocity of 8.5 m/s towards the north.

The magnitude of the net velocity is √(4.3² + 8.5²) .
That's about  9.53 m/s, at some angle between straight up
and straight north.

The angle above horizontal is the angle that has a tangent of  4.3/8.5 .
I'll let you work out the angle.

45. A particle moves in a straight line with an initial velocity of 30 m/s and constant acceleration 30 m/s2 . (a) What is its d
omeli [17]

Answer:

Displacement after 5 seconds is 155/2 meters

Explanation:

Let X (t) represent the equation of the position, then you have to d2x / dt2 = 5.

Applying the fundamental theorem of the calculation dx/dt = 5t + vo. The speed equation is V (t) = 5t + vo. Since the initial velocity is 30m/s, V (0) = 5 (0) + vo = 30. Therefore, V (t) = dx/dt = 5t + 30. Applying again the fundamental theorem of the calculation X (t) = 5t^2 / 2 + 30t + xo.

Displacement in 5 seconds is given by X (5) - X (0).

X (5) - X (0) = 5 (5)^2/2 +3 (5) + Xo - 5 (0)^2/2 -3 (0) -Xo = 155/2

Displacement after 5 seconds is 155/2 meters
