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)

Answer:

115 kPa

Explanation:

Use Bernoulli equation:

P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρgh₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρgh₂

Assuming no elevation change, h₁ = h₂.

P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂²

Plugging in values:

(582,000 Pa) + ½ (1000 kg/m³) (1.28 m/s)² = P + ½ (1000 kg/m³) (30.6 m/s)²

P = 115,000 Pa

P = 115 kPa

Answer:

1) solvent

2) liquid-solid

3) gas - gas

Explanation:

1) A solution is the homogenous mixture of two or more substances in such a way that its components are uniformly distributed. In any solution, the solvent make up the greatest quantity or volume while the solute is of lesser quantity.

2) liquid-solid is the most common type of solution.

3) A gas solution can be a gas dissolved in a gas, or a liquid dissolved in a gas, or a solid dissolved in a gas.  Air is a gas - gas solution, it is composed of oxygen and other dissolved gases in nitrogen
