A 4 kg body is traveling at 3 m/s with no external force acting on it. At a certain instant an internal explosion occurs, splitt

ing the body into two chunks of 2 kg mass each. The explosion gives the chunks an additional 18 J of kinetic energy. Neither chunk leaves the line of original motion. Determine the speed and direction of motion of each of the chunks after the explosion.

Answer

given,

mass of body = 4 Kg

travelling at speed = 3 m/s

exploded into two fragments of equal mass i.e. = 2 Kg

energy after collision increases by 18 J

original kinetic energy

KE = \dfrac{1}{2}MV^2

KE = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 4 \times 3^2

KE = 18 J

energy increases after collision = 18 J

total energy = 36 J

now,

\dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2 = 36

\dfrac{1}{2}v_1^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}v_2^2 = 36

v_1^2+v_2^2 = 72

using conservation of momentum

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = MV

2 v₁ + 2 v₂ = 4 x 3

v₁ + v₂ = 6-------------(1)

squaring both side in the above equation

v₁² + v₂² + 2v₁v₂ = 36

72 + 2v₁v₂ = 36

v₁v₂ = -18-------(2)

putting value of equation (1) in (2)

v₁ (-18 - v₁) = 6

-18 v₁ - v₁² = 6

v₁² + 18 v₁ + 6 = 0

on solving the above equation we get

v₁ = -0.34 m/s

putting value of v₁ in equation (1)

v₂ = 6 + 0.34

v₂ = 6.34 m/s

A plant cell is no longer capable of capturing energy from sunlight and converting it into chemical energy. Which organelle is m
Nadya [2.5K]

The chloroplast of the cell is most likely damaged if the plant cell is no longer capable of capturing energy from sunlight and converting it into chemical energy.

The chloroplast is the structure inside the leaf cell that is known for capturing light energy from the sun.

This light energy is then used to make food that has chemical energy. If a plant cell has a damaged chloroplast or the chloroplast is removed, then it will no longer be able to trap the light energy. As a result, the process of photosynthesis will not occur in the plant cell. The plant cell will not be able to make the chemical energy required for functioning.

The wheels of a car have radius 12 in. and are rotating at 600 rpm. Find the speed of the car in mi/h.
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

21.4 mph

Explanation:

Circumference of tire in FEET   = pi * d =  pi * 1 ft = pi  feet

pi feet  x  600 rot/min  *  60 min /hr  *  1 mile / 5280 feet = 21.4 mph

9. How does the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle relate to the lengths of the legs? (2 points)
konstantin123 [22]
<span>The pythagorean theorem addresses the length of the hypotenuse in relation to the length of the legs. The square root of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of one leg squared plus the other leg squared. In other words, A squared plus B squared equals C squared where A and B are the lengths of the legs of the triangle and C is the length of the hypotenuse.</span>
