In a fireworks display, a rocket is launched from the ground with a speed of 18.0 m/s and a direction of 51.0° above the horizon

tal. During the flight, the rocket explodes into two pieces of equal mass. (a) What horizontal distance from the launch point will the center of mass of the two pieces be after both have landed on the ground? (b) If one piece lands a horizontal distance of 26.0 m from the launch point, where does the other piece land?

Answer:38.66 m

Explanation:

Given

launch angle \theta =51^{\circ}

launch velocity u=18 m/s

center of mass continue to travel its original Path so it center of mass will be at a distance of

R=\frac{u^2\sin 2\theta }{g}

R=\frac{18^2\sin 102}{9.8}

R=32.33 m

Center of mass will be at x=32.33 m

(b)if one of the piece will be at x=26  m then other will be at

x_{com}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}

x_{com}=\frac{\frac{m}{2}\cdot 26+\frac{m}{2}\cdot x_0}{\frac{m}{2}+\frac{m}{2}}

32.33=\frac{26+x_0}{2}

x_0=38.66 m

if a freely falling object were somehow equipped with a speedometer on a planet where the acceleration due to gravity is 20 m/s/
Pie

Answer: The speed reading would increase each second by 20m/s

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity per unit change in time.

Acceleration = velocity/time

∆v = a∆t

Given a = g = 20m/s/s (acceleration due to gravity)

∆t = 1 sec

∆v = 20m/s/s × 1s

∆v = 20m/s

Therefore, the speed reading would increase each second by 20m/s

Consider the two electron arrangements for neutral atoms a and b. Are atoms a and b the same element? a - 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s1 b -
Agata [3.3K]

The two neutral atoms A and B have the same number of electrons and atomic number 11. So, the two elements are said to be same.

The electronic configuration of the element is the arrangement of the electrons in the atom of the element in energy levels, orbitals around the nucleus.

The electrons in the atoms of the element with lowest energy are written first before those with higher energy levels. Thus, the electronic configuration shows the electrons in the atoms of the element arranged in order of increasing energies.

The electronic configuration of atoms are given as

A = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s¹

B = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 5s¹

The number of electrons in both the elements is 11. Therefore, their atomic number is also the same i.e, 11. So, both the elements are the same.

To know more about atomic number:

Nora tied a string around a tennis ball, and then she swung it in a circle in front of her to demonstrate a planet orbiting the
777dan777 [17]

<em>Choice-A </em>is a true statement. The string holding the ball in orbit is a contact force, whereas gravity is a non-contact force.

Choice-C is half-true.  The string keeps the distance between the bodies constant, but gravity doesn't "MAKE" the distance vary.
