li A 1500 kg weather rocket accelerates upward at IO mis 2. It explodes 2.0 s after liftoff and breaks into two fragments, one t

wice as massive as the other. Photos reveal that the lighter frag- ment traveled straight up and reached a maximum height of 530 m. What were the speed and direction of the heavier frag- ment just after the explosion?

Answer:

speed is  -20.0155 m/s

and direction is downward

Explanation:

given data

mass of rocket = 1500 kg

rocket accelerates upward = 10 m/s²

time t = 2 s

maximum height = 530 m

to find out

speed and direction of the heavier fragment just after the explosion

solution

we use here principle of conservation of momentum  that is

Mt Vt=M1 V1 + M2 V2       ................1

so here

first we find the initial velocity  that is express as

v = a × t     .....................2

v = 10 × 2

v = 20 m/s

and distance S

S =u × t + 0.5 × a × t²      ...................3

S = 0 + 0.5 × 10 ×   2²

S = 20 m

and now we find speed of the lighter piece  that is

v² = v1² + 2 ×  a × S        .................4

0 = v1² + 2 ×  -9.81 × (530-20)

v1² = 10006.2

v1 = 100.031 m/s

so now put all these in equation 1 we get  

Mt Vt = M1 V1 + M2 V2

1500 × 20 = (1500 × 1/3 ) × 100.031 + (1500 × 2/3) + V2

30000 = 50015.5 + 1000 V2

V2 = -20.0155 m/s

so speed is  -20.0155 m/s

that mean vertical component of second fragment will be move downward

20 quantities and classified them in vector and scaler quantities​
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

A scalar quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has only magnitude, for example, mass and electric charge. On the other hand, a vector quantity is defined as the physical quantity that has both magnitude as well as direction like force and weight.

An airplane flies between two points on the ground that are 500 km apart. The destination is directly north of the origination o
Ann [662]

Answer:

   θ = 4.78º

with respect to the vertical or 4.78 to the east - north

Explanation:

This is a velocity compound exercise since it is a vector quantity.

The plane takes a direction, the air blows to the west and the result must be to the north, let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the speed

                  v_fly² = v_nort² + v_air²

                  v_nort² = v_fly² + - v_air²

Let's use trigonometry to find the direction of the plane

        sin θ = v_air / v_fly

        θ = sin⁻¹ (v_air / v_fly)

         

let's calculate

        θ = sin⁻¹ (10/120)

         θ = 4.78º

with respect to the vertical or 4.78 to the north-east

Conduction transfers Thermal energy by
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. The better the conductor, the more rapidly heat will be transferred. Metal is a good conduction of heat. Conduction occurs when a substance is heated, particles will gain more energy, and vibrate more.
