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

A. Write two or three sentences to describe the conductivity of an insulator. Explain its conductivity in terms of the electrons
aliya0001 [1]

PART A)

Conductivity of insulator is very small as there is no free electrons to conduct the current trough that medium

So here number of conduction electrons are very less in insulators

PART B)

Resistance is the property of a conducting medium which will oppose the flow of current trough it

Resistance of wire directly depends on its length so resistance of long wire will be more than the resistance of short wire

Resistance inversely depends on the area so if a wire has more crossectional area then its resistance must be small

PART C)

power of light bulb is defined as rate of electrical energy

it is given by formula

P = i V

here we know that

i = 1.46 A

V = 120 volts

so power is given as

P = 1.46 \times 120

P = 175.2 Watt

To develop the problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the moment of inertia.

The given values can be defined as,

M = 1.0 kg

r = 0.5 m

m = 10 g

I = 0.280 kg.m^2

According to the definition of the moment of inertia applied to the exercise we can arrive at the equation that,

I = I_{rim} + n * I_{spoke}

Where n is the number of spokes necessary to construct the wheel.

I_{rim} = M*r^2 = 1.0 * 0.5^2

I_{spoke} = \frac{1}{3} * m * r^2 = \frac{1}{3}* 10 * 10^-3 * 0.5^2

Replacing the values at the general equation we have,

0.280 = 1.0 * 0.5^2 + n * (1/3 * 10 * 10^-3 * 0.5^2 )

Solving for n,

n = 36

Therefore the number of spokes necessary to construct the wheel is 36

PART B) The mass of the wheel is given by the sum of all masses and the total spokes, then

M_w= M + n*m

M_w = 1.0 + 36* 10 * 10^{-3} Kg

M_w = 1.36 Kg

Therefore the mass of the wheel must be of 1.36Kg
