A watermelon is blown into three pieces by a large firecracker. Two pieces of equal mass m fly away perpendicular to one another

, one in the x direction another in the y direction. Both of these pieces fly away with a speed of V = 42 m/s. The third piece has three times the mass of the other two pieces. Randomized Variables V = 42 m/s show answer No Attempt 33% Part (a) Write an expression for the speed of the larger piece, that is in terms of only the variable V.

Answer:

Speed of larger piece is \dfrac{V\sqrt{2}}{3}

Explanation:

We apply the principle of conservation of momentum.

The watermelon is initially at rest. The initial momentum = 0 kg m/s in all directions.

After the collision,

Vertical momentum = momentum of piece in y-direction + y-component of momentum of larger piece = mV + 3mv_{ly}

Here, v_{ly} is the y-component of velocity of larger piece.

This is equal to 0, since the initial momentum is 0.

v_{ly}=\dfrac{V}{3}

Horizontal momentum = momentum of piece in x-direction + x-component of momentum of larger piece = mV + 3mv_{lx}

Here, v_{lx} is the x-component of velocity of larger piece.

This is also equal to 0, since the initial momentum is 0.

v_{lx}=\dfrac{V}{3}

The velocity of the larger piece, v_l, is the resultant of v_{lx} and v_{ly}. Since they are mutually perpendicular,

v_l = \sqrt{v_{ly}^2+v_{lx}^2}= \sqrt{\left(\dfrac{V}{3}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{V}{3}\right)^2}

v_l = \dfrac{V\sqrt{2}}{3}

3, A 4kg block is pushed 2m at an acceleration of 0.2m/s square up a vertical wall by a constant force F applied at an angle of
Andrews [41]

The work done by the applied force on the block against the frictional force is 15.75 J.

<h3>Work done by the applied force</h3>

The work done by the applied force is calculated as follows;

W = Fd

F - Ff = ma

where;

  • F is applied force
  • Ff is frictional force

Fcos(37) - μmgsin(37) = ma

Fcos(37) - (0.3)(4)(9.8)sin(37) = 4(0.2)

0.799F - 7.077 = 0.8

F = 9.86 N

W = Fdcosθ

W = 9.86 x 2 x cos(37)

W = 15.75 J

Thus, the work done by the applied force on the block against the frictional force is 15.75 J.

In film photography, shutter speed is the length of time that the film is exposed to the scene you’re photographing. Similarly,
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

a. 1/1000 sec

Explanation:

Shutter speed is the length of time that the film you’re photographing is being exposed to the scene in film photography. However, in digital photography, shutter speed is the length of time that the image sensor sees the scene the photographer is trying to capture.

For shutter speeds, the greater the denominator the higher the speed and the lower the denominator, the lower the speed.

Thus, the fastest one is option A.
