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

irius, the brightest star in the sky, is 2.6 parsecs (8.6 light-years) from Earth, giving it a parallax of 0.379 arcseconds. Ano
Norma-Jean [14]

The actual distance of Regulus from Earth is 23.81 parsecs.

Given:

Parallax of Regulus, p = 0.042 arc seconds

Calculation:

When an observer changes their position, an apparent change in the object's position takes place. This change can be calculated using the angle ( or semi-angle) made by the observer and object i.e. the angle made between the two lines of observation from the object to the observer.

Thus from the relation of parallax of a celestial body we get:

S = 1/ tan p ≈ 1 / p

where S is the actual distance between the object and the observer

            p is the parallax angle observed

Here for Regulus, we get:

S = 1 / p

  = 1 / (0.042)                                     [ 1 parsecs = 1 arcseconds ]

  = 23.81 parsecs

We know that,

1 parsecs = 3.26 light-years = 206,000 AU

Converting the actual distance into light years we get:

23.81 parsecs = 23.81 × (3.26 light yrs) = 77.658 light-years

Therefore, the actual distance of Regulus from Earth is 23.81 parsecs which is 77.658 in light years.

A circuit element consists of a resistor with value 20Ω and inductor with value 10mH connected in series. A voltage of LaTeX: v(
Flura [38]

Answer:

8.97 Watt

Explanation:

Resistance, R = 20 ohm

Inductance, L = 10 mH

V(t) = 20 Cos (1000 t + 45°)

Compare with the standard equation

V(t) = Vo Cos(ωt + Ф)

Ф = 45°

ω = 1000 rad/s

Vo = 20 V

Inductive reactance, XL = ωL = 1000 x 0.01 = 10 ohm

impedance is Z.

Z = \sqrt{R^{2}+X_{L}^{2}}

Z = \sqrt{20^{2}+10^{2}}

Z = 22.36 ohm

V_{rms}=\frac{V_{0}}{\sqrt{2}}

V_{rms}=\frac{20}{\sqrt{2}} = 14.144 V

I_{rms}=\frac{V_{rms}}{Z}=\frac{14.144}{\sqrt{22.36}}=0.634 A

Apparent power is given by

P = Vrms x Irms

P = 14.144 x 0.634

P = 8.97 Watt
