An internal explosion breaks an object, initially at rest, into two pieces, one of which has 1.3 times the mass of the other. If

8800 J is released in the explosion, all of which goes into the kinetic energy of the two pieces, how much kinetic energy does each piece acquire?

Answer:

k_2 =3826.08 J

K_1 = 4973.91 J

Explanation:

from conservation of momentum principle

0 = m_1v_1+m_2v_2

we know that kinetic energy is given as

k_1 = \frac{1}{2} m_1v_1^2

k_2 = \frac{1}{2} m_2v_2^2

we have v_1 =-1.3v_2, m_2 = 1.3m_1

therefore k_1 =\frac{1}{2} (\frac{m_2}{1.3})(-1.3v_2)^2 = 1.3k_2

now

k_1+k_2 = 8800

1.3k_2 +k_2 =8800

k_2 =3826.08 J

K_1 = 4973.91 J

A fireman is sliding down a fire pole. As he speeds up, he tightens his grip on the pole, thus increasing the vertical frictiona
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The fireman will continue to descend, but with a constant speed.

Explanation:

In kinetic friction <em>(which is the case discussed here) </em>since the fireman is already in motion because of a certain force, once the frictional force matches the normal force, the fireman will stop accelerating and continue moving at a constant rate with the original speed he had. We will need a force greater than the normal force acting on the fireman to cause a deceleration.

We need to understand the difference between static friction and kinetic friction.

Static friction occurs in objects that are stationary, while kinetic friction occurs in objects that are already in motion.  

In static friction, when the frictional force matches the weight or normal force of the object, the object remains stationary.

While in kinetic friction, when the frictional force matches the normal force, the object will stop accelerating. This is the case of the fireman sliding down the pole as discussed above.
