In a volcanic eruption, a 2400-kgkg boulder is thrown vertically upward into the air. At its highest point, it suddenly explodes

(due to trapped gases) into two fragments, one being three times the mass of the other. The lighter fragment starts out with only horizontal velocity and lands 293 mm directly north of the point of the explosion. Where will the fragment land? Neglect any air resistance.

Answer:

Rh = 97.67 m

Explanation:

given data

mass = 2400 kg

lands = 293 mm

solution

as here boulder is thrown upward so at some point will be hightest so at that velocity will be zero

so we apply here conservation of momentum

0 = m1 × v1 - mh × vh   ...............1

m1 × v1 = mh × vh

\frac{1}{4} × 2400 × v1 = \frac{3}{4} × 2400 × vh

v1 = 3 vh

and

R = speed × time

time = \frac{293}{v1}

and

Rh = vh × time

Rh = \frac{1}{3} v1  × \frac{293}{v1}  

Rh = 97.67 m

A foam material has a density of 175 g/l. what is its density in units of lb/ft3?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

Given: 175 g/L

1 gram/liter  =  0.06242796 pound/cubic foot

175 g/L * 0.06242796 pound/cubic foot

= 10.924893 lb/ft3

So, a foam material has a density of 10.924893 lb/ft3 in units of lb/ft3.

Answer: 0.00068 N

Explanation: Universal gravitational constant=6.674 *10^(-11)

Force=Gm1m2/(r^2)

Force= 6.67*25000*40000*10^(-11)/(10^2)

Force=0.00068 N
