A projectile of mass 9.6 kg is launched from the ground with an initial velocity of 12.4 m/s at angle of 54° above the horizonta

l. At some time after its launch, an explosion splits the projectile into two pieces. One piece, of mass 6.5 kg, is observed at 1.42 seconds after the launch to be at a height of 5.9 m and at a horizontal distance of 13.6 m from the launch point. Find the location of the second fragment at that same instant of time.

Answer:

The location is at (3.535, 1.162) m

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of the projectile, m = 9.6 kg

Initial velocity, v = 12.4 m/s

Angle, \theta = 54^{\circ}

Mass of one fragment, m = 6.5 kg

Time taken by the fragment, t = 1.42 s

Height of the fragment, y = 5.9 m

Horizontal distance, x = 13.6 m

Now,

To determine the location of the second fragment:

Horizontal Range, R = \frac{v^{2}sin2\theta}{g}

R = \frac{12.4^{2}sin2(54)}{9.8} = 14.92\ m

Time of flight, t' = \frac{2vsin\theta}{g} = \frac{2\times 12.4sin108}{9.8}= 2.406\ s

Now, for the fragments:

Mass of the other fragment, m' = M - m = 9.6 - 6.5 = 3.1 kg

Distance traveled horizontally:

s_{x} = vcos\theta = 12.4cos54^{\circ}\times 1.42 = 10.35\ m

Distance traveled vertically:

s_{y} = vcos\theta - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

s_{y} = 12.4sin54^{\circ}\times 1.42 -  \frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1.42^{2} = 14.25 - 9.88 = 4.37\ m

Now,

s_{x} = \frac{mx + m'x'}{M}

10.35= \frac{6.5\times 13.6 + 3.1x'}{9.6}

x' = 3.535 m

Similarly,

s_{y} = \frac{my + m'y'}{M}

4.37= \frac{6.5\times 5.9 + 3.1y'}{9.6} = 1.162\ m

The location of the other fragment is at (3.535, 1.162)

zlopas [31]

When they meet the 40-kg boy would have moved a distance of 6 m.

<h3>Distance moved by the 40 kg boy</h3>

Apply the principle of center mass;

Take the 40 kg mass as the reference point;

X(40 kg) = (40kg x 0  + 60kg x 10 m)/(40 kg + 60 kg)

X(40 kg) = (600)/(100)

X(40 kg) = 6 m

Thus, when they meet the 40-kg boy would have moved a distance of 6 m.

Many physiological conditions are related to particular proteins in cell membranes. The number of insulin receptors in membranes
Afina-wow [57]

Answer: This is an example of downregulation and upregulation.

Explanation:

Downregulation is a process in which cells decrease the production of one of their components, responding to an external stimulus. Upregulation, on the other hand, is when cells increase the production of one of their components in response to an external stimulus.

In this case, the decrease in insulin receptors would make the cell less sensitive to the hormone.

If there's a lot of insulin around those cells, the cell would have to decrease its sensitivity, otherwise, it would metabolise more glucose than the body needs. The contrary would happen if there was too little insulin around those cells, they would have to become more sensitive to it by increasing the number of receptors.
