A rocket with mass m traveling with speed v0 along the x axis suddenly shoots out one-third its mass parallel to the y axis (as

seen from an observer at rest) with speed 2v0. Find the x, y, and z components of the final velocity vector of the remaining 2/3 of the rocket's mass.

Answer:

\vec{v}=\frac{3}{2}v_0\hat{i}-v_0\hat{j}+0\hat{k}

Explanation:

Initially the rocket velocity is only on the x-axis. After the rocket suddenly shoots out one-third its mass parallel to the y axis, its velocity is in the x and y axes. Thus, According to momentum conservation principle, we have:

mv_0=\frac{2}{3}mv_{x}\\v_x}=\frac{3}{2}v_0\\\\0=\frac{1}{3}m2v_0+\frac{2}{3}mv_{y}\\v_y=-\frac{2}{3}m(v_0)[\frac{3}{2m}]\\v_y=-v_0\\\\(0)_z=(0)_z\\v_z=0

So, the velocity vector of the remaining rocket's mass is:

\vec{v}=\frac{3}{2}v_0\hat{i}-v_0\hat{j}+0\hat{k}

How many nanoseconds does it take light to travel 3.50 ft in vacuum?
Fiesta28 [93]
Answer:3.56 nanosecond

In this case, you are asked the time and given the light distance(3.5ft)
To answer this question you would need to know the velocity of light. Speed of light is <span>299792458m/s. Then the calculation would be:

time= distance/speed
time= 3.5 ft / (</span>299792458m/s) x 0.3048 meter/ 1 ft=  3.56 10^{-9} second or 3.56 nanosecond

A pitcher throws a 0.140 kg baseball, and it approaches the bat at a speed of 35.0 m/s. The bat does Wnc = 75.0 J of work on the
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

The speed of the ball is 42.5 m/s

Explanation:

The initial kinetic energy of the ball is:

K_1=\frac{1}{2} m v_0^2=\frac{1}{2}*0.140 kg*(35.0 m/s)^2= 85.75 J

The speed of the ball after leaving the bat is:

K_2=K_1+W_{nc}\\ \frac{1}{2}mV^2= 85.75 J + 75 J\\ (\frac{1}{2}mV^2)2=( 160.75 J)2\\ mV^2= 321.5 J\\ V^2= \frac{321.5 J}{0.140kg} \\ V=\sqrt{\frac{321.5 J}{0.140kg}}

V=47.92 m/s

Using kinematic equation we can find the speed of the ball after being 25 m above the point of collision:

V_f^2-V^2=-2gh

V_f^2-(47.92 m/s)^2=-2*9.81m/s^2*25m

V_f^2=-2*9.81m/s^2*25m+(47.92 m/s)^2

V_f=\sqrt{-2*9.81m/s^2*25m+(47.92 m/s)^2}

V_f=42.5m/s
