A 58 g firecracker is at rest at the origin when it explodes into three pieces. The first, with mass 12 g , moves along the x ax
alexdok [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply conservation of momentum law in vector form to solve the problem .

Initial momentum = 0

momentum of 12 g piece

= .012 x 37 i since it moves along x axis .

= .444 i

momentum of 22 g

= .022 x 34 j

= .748 j

Let momentum of third piece = p

total momentum

= p + .444 i + .748 j

so

applying conservation law of momentum

p + .444 i + .748 j  = 0

p = - .444 i -  .748 j  

magnitude of p

= √ ( .444² + .748² )

= .87 kg m /s

mass of third piece = 58 - ( 12 + 22 )

= 24 g = .024 kg

if v be its velocity

.024 v = .87

v = 36.25 m / s .

Write down one fact about each of the following crust, mantle, outer, core, & inner core
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Hope this help you!!

Explanation:

Crust : The crust is the thinnest layer of the Earth. It has an average thickness of about 18 miles below land, and around 6 miles below the oceans. The crust is the layer that makes up the Earth's surface and it lies on top of a harder layer, called the mantle.

Mantle : The mantle is the mostly-solid bulk of Earth's interior. The mantle lies between Earth's dense, super-heated core and its thin outer layer, the crust. The mantle is about 1,802 miles thick, and makes up a whopping 84% of Earth's total volume

Outer Core : The outer core is the third layer of the Earth. It is the only liquid layer, and is mainly made up of the metals iron and nickel, as well as small amounts of other substances. The outer core is responsible for Earth's magnetic field. As Earth spins on its axis, the iron inside the liquid outer core moves around.

Inner Core : It's Almost The Size of the Moon. The Earth's inner core is surprisingly large, measuring 1,516 miles across. It's Mostly Made of Iron. It Spins Faster Than the Surface of the Earth. It Creates a Magnetic Field.

A particle moves along a straight path through a displacement d = 2.5i + cj while a force F = 8.5i + -8.5j acts on it. The displ
Zanzabum

Answer:

Explanation:

Work is defined as the scalar product of force and distance

W=F•d

Given that

F = 8.5i + -8.5j. +×-=-

F=8.5i-8.5j

d = 2.5i + cj

If the work in the practice is zero, then W=0

therefore,

W=F•ds

0=F•ds

0=(8.5i -8.5j)•(2.5i + cj)

Note that

i.i=j.j=k.k=1

i.j=j.i=k.i=i.k=j.k=k.j=0

So applying this

0=(8.5i -8.5j)•(2.5i + cj)

0= (8.5×2.5i.i + 8.5×ci.j -8.5×2.5j.i-8.5×cj.j)

0=21.25-8.5c

Therefore,

8.5c=21.25

c=21.25/8.5

c=2.5

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

D. 24 lb

Explanation:

Tina has been dieting for 13 weeks

First week she lost 3 pounds

Next week she gained 1 pound and did not lose any. This will be subtracted as she has gained a pound

The remaining 11 weeks she lost 2 pounds per week

Weight lost in the 11 weeks = 11×2 =22 pounds

Total weight lost

3-1+22 = 24 lb

Tina has lost 24 pounds in total during the 13 weeks
