Answer:
a.) 1567.2 m/s
b.) 149.4 m/s
Explanation:
Given that a 26 kg body is moving through space in the positive direction of an x axis with a speed of 350 m/s when, due to an internal explosion, it breaks into three parts. One part, with a mass of 7.8 kg, moves away from the point of explosion with a speed of 180 m/s in the positive y direction. A second part, with a mass of 8.8 kg, moves in the negative x direction with a speed of 640 m/s.
The x-component of the third part can be calculated by assuming that it moves in a positive x axis.
The third mass = 26 - ( 7.8 + 8.8)
The third mass = 26 - 16.6
The third mass = 9.4kg
since momentum is conserved, the momentum before explosion will be equal to sum of the momentum after explosion
26 x 350 = -8.8 x 640 + 9.4V
9100 = -5632 + 9.4V
9.4V = 9100 + 5632
9.4V = 14732
V = 14732/9.4
V = 1567.2 m/s
(b) y-component of the velocity of the third part will be
7.8 x 180 = 9.4 V
1404 = 9.4V
V = 1404/9.4
V = 149.4 m/s
Answer: 90 kgm/s
Explanation:
The momentum (linear momentum) 
is given by the following equation:
Where:
is the mass of the skater
is the velocity
In this situation the skater has two values of momentum:
Initial momentum: 
Final momentum: 
Where:
So, if we want to calculate the difference in the magnitude of the skater's momentum, we have to write the following equation(assuming the mass of the skater remains constant):
Finally:
Force = mass x acceleration
Force = 4kg x 10m/s^2
Force = 40N
Yes because you intoxicated
