While moving horizontally at 3.5 x 103 m/s at an altitude of 2.0 x 104 m, a ballistic missile explodes and breaks into two fragm

ents which fall freely. The smaller piece, which has 35% of the missile's total mass, falls straight down after the explosion and lands at point A, the place on the ground directly below the point of the explosion. How far from point A does the other fragment land?

Answer:

3, 43,968.88 m

Explanation:

Let mass of the missile be m

velocity = 3500 m/s

smaller part will have zero horizontal velocity and larger part will have velocity  v in horizontal direction

Applying conservation of momentum

m x 3500 = .35m x 0 + .65m x v

v = 5384.61 m / s

Height of  explosion

h = 20000 m

time to fall be t

for vertical fall u = 0 , g = 9.8

20000 = 1/2 x 9.8 t²

= 63.88 s

Horizontal range

time of fall x horizontal velocity

= 63.88 x 5384.61

= 3, 43,968.88 m

Which best explains how Selena can correct her error? She can change the magnets so like poles are facing each other. She can ch
alexandr402 [8]

Complete question is;

Selena drew a diagram to show how current moves in a loop of wire that is placed between two magnets. At top left a piece of magnet labeled N and at top right a piece labeled S. Between these a square coil of wire with green arrows at its ends away from the magnets pointing away from the magnets. Red arrows point from N to S. Which best explains how Selena can correct her error?

A) She can change the magnets so like poles are facing each other.

B) She can change the arrows so they show current traveling in opposite directions on the sides of the loop.

C) She can change the arrows so they show the magnetic field reversing direction between the magnets.

D) She can change the magnetic poles so they are both on one side of the loop.

Answer:

B) She can change the arrows so they show current traveling in opposite directions on the sides of the loop.

Explanation:

Since the direction of the arrows point north and south whereas the magnets are east and west, it means the arrows are not pointing in the correct direction. To correct it she will have to make sure the arrows are pointing in opposite directions of the magnet via the sides of the loop.

While riding in a hot air balloon, which is steadily descending at a speed of 1.01 m/s, you accidentally drop your cell phone?
mote1985 [20]

While riding in a hot air balloon, which is steadily at a speed of 1.01 m/s, and your phone accidentally falls.

<span>(a)    </span>The speed of your phone after 4 s is:

V= u + at

V= 1.01 + (9.8)(4)

V= 40.21 m/s

<span>(b)   </span>The balloon is ____ far:

V = u + at

V= 1.01 + (9.8)(1)

V=10.81 –distance at 1 one second

V= u + at

V= 1.01 + (9.8)(2)

V= 20.61-distance at 2 seconds

V= u+ at

V= 30.41- distance at 3 seconds

V= 40.21- distance at 4 seconds

D= 102.04 m

<span>(c)    </span>If the balloon is rising steadily at 1.01 m/s:

V= -1.1 m/s

<span> </span>

Why doesn't the skateboarder roll as high each time she goes up the ramp
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The skater has mechanical/gravitational potential energy at the two meter mark. The skater gets to two meters high on the other end of the ramp. In terms of the conservation of energy, the skater will never go higher than two meter on the other end of the the ramp because energy can be neither created nor destroyed.

Explanation:

I hoping it is right!!!∪∧∪     ∪ω∪
