Two pop cans are at rest on a stand. A firecracker is placed between the cans and lit. The firecracker explodes and exerts equal

and opposite forces on the two cans. Assuming the system of two cans to be isolated, the post-explosion momentum of the system ____.
a. is dependent upon the mass and velocities of the two cans
b. is dependent upon the velocities of the two cans (but not their mass)
c. is typically a very large value
d. can be a positive, negative or zero value
e. is definitely zero

Answer:

e. is definitely zero

Explanation:

Given that

At initial condition the speed of the pop cans is zero.

We know that linear momentum

P = Mass x velocity

P =  m v

At initial condition v = 0

P= 0

If there is no any external force then the linear momentum of the system will be conserve.And given that ,consider the system isolated.

Therefore the answer is e.

irinina [24]
Hi there!

Normal rain has a pH between 5.0 and 5.5, which is slightly acidic on the pH scale. Acid rain on the other hand has an average pH of 4.0, much more acidic than your average rain.

Therefore, the most likely pH of acid rain would be 4.0.

Whitepunk [10]

The equation we can use here is:

v^2 = v0^2 + 2 a d

where v is final velocity, v0 is intial velocity, a is acceleration and d is distance

 

14^2 = 8^2 + 2 a (44)

The engine of a locomotive exerts a constant force of 8.1*10^5 N to accelerate a train to 68 km/h. Determine the time (in min) t
Bumek [7]

Answer:443.1 s

Explanation:

Given

Engine of a locomotive exerts a force of 8.1\times 10^5 N

Mass of train=1.9\times 10^7

Final speed (v)=68 km/h \approx 18.88 m/s

F=ma

so acceleration(a) =\frac{F}{m}=\frac{8.1\times 10^5}{1.9\times 10^7}

a=0.042631 m/s^2

and acceleration is

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

0.042631=\frac{18.88-0}{t}

t=443.089 \approx 443.1 s
