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

Which part of a wind-powered system ultimately produces the electricity? A. nacelle B. blade C. turbine D. generator
djverab [1.8K]
<span>The correct answer is: (D) Generator

Explanation:
In wind-powered systems, the wind energy turns the blades around the rotor of a wind turbine. That rotor is connected to a generator that generates electricity. In other words, the kinectic energy of the wind is converted into electrical energy by using the generator in the wind-powered systems.</span>

A sample of copper has a volume of 23.4 cm3 if the density of copper is 8.9 gcm3 what is the coppers mass?
murzikaleks [220]
The answer is:  " 208 g " .
_____________________________________________
Explanation:
__________________________________________
The formula/ equation for density is:
__________________________________________
D = m / V  ;  That is,  "mass divided by volume" ;
 
Density is expressed as:
__________________________________________    
                   "mass per unit volume";  in which the "mass" is expressed in units of "g" ("grams") ;  and the "unit volume" is expressed in units of:
    "cm³ " or "mL"; 
_____________________________________________
           {Note the exact equivalent:  1 cm³ = 1 mL }.
____________________________________________
         →  The formula is:  " D = m / V "  ; 
___________________________________________
   in which:

     "D" refers to the "density" (see above), which is: "8.9 g/cm³ " (given); 

     "m" refers to the "mass" , in units of "g" (grams), which is unknown; and we want to find this value;
                 
     "V" refers to the "volume", in units of "cm³ " ;
               which is:  "23.4 cm³ " (given);
_________________________________________________
                 We want to find the mass, "m" ; so we take the original equation/formula for the density:
_________________________________________________ 
              D  =  m / V ; 
_________________________________________________________
             And we rearrange; to isolate "m" (mass) on ONE side of the    equation; and then we plug in our known/given values;
 to solve for "m" (mass);  in units of "g" (grams) ;
___________________________________________________
    Multiply each side of the equation by "V" ; 
____________________________________________________
             V * { D  =  m / V } ;  to get:
____________________________________________________
      V * D = m ;   ↔   m = V * D ;
___________________________________________________
           Now, we plug in the given values for "V" (volume) and "D" (density) ;     to solve for the mass, "m" ;
______________________________________________________
           m  =  V * D ;
 
           m  =  (23.4 cm³) * (8.9 g / 1 cm³)  = (23.4 * 8.9) g = 208.26 g ;
  
 →  Round to "208 g" (3 significant figures);  
____________________________________
The answer is:  " 208 g " .
