A firecracker breaks up into two pieces, one of which has a mass of 200 g and flies off along the x-axis with a speed of 82.0 m/

s. The second piece has a mass of 300 g and flies off along the y-axis with a speed of 45.0 m/s. What is the total momentum of the two pieces?

Answer:

Total momentum, p = 21.24 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of first piece, m_1=200\ g= 0.2\ kg

Mass of the second piece, m_2=300\ g= 0.3\ kg

Speed of the first piece, v_1=82\ m/s (along x axis)

Speed of the second piece, v_2=45\ m/s (along y axis)

To find,

The total momentum of the two pieces.

Solve,

The total momentum of two pieces is equal to the sum of momentum along x axis and along y axis.

p_x=m_1v_1

p_x=0.2\ kg\times 82\ m/s

p_x=16.4\ kg-m/s

p_y=m_2v_2

p_y=0.3\ kg\times 45\ m/s

p_y=13.5\ kg-m/s

The net momentum is given by :

p=\sqrt{p_x^2+p_y^2}

p=\sqrt{16.4^2+13.5^2}

p = 21.24 kg-m/s

Therefore, the total momentum of the two pieces is 21.24 kg-m/s.

xeze [42]

Answer:

A force that pushes or pulls is known as Newton's third law of Motion.

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law of Motion. Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for each action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. What this suggests is that pushing on an object causes that object to keep off against you, the precise same amount, but within the other way.

1 A 75-g ball is projected from a height of 1.6 m with a horizontal velocity of 2 m/s and bounces from a 400-g smooth plate supp
Tanzania [10]

Answer with explanation:

We are given that  

Mass of ball,m_1=75 g=\frac{75}{1000}=0075kg

1 kg=1000 g

Height,h_1=1.6 m

h_2=0.6 m

Horizontal velocity,v_x=2 m/s

Mass of platem_2=400 g=\frac{400}{1000}=0.4 kg

a.Initial velocity of plate,u_2=0

Velocity before impact=u_1=\sqrt{2gh_1}=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 1.6}=5.6m/s

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Velocity after impact,v_1=\sqrt{2gh_2}=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 0.6}=3.4m/s

According to law of conservation of momentum  

m_1u_1+m_2u_1=-m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Substitute the values  

0.075\times 5.6+0=-0.075\times 3.4+0.4v_2

0.4v_2=0.075\times 5.6+0.075\times 3.4

v_2=\frac{0.075\times 5.6+0.075\times 3.4}{0.4}=1.69 m/s

Velocity of plate=1.69 m/s

b.Initial energy=\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_x+m_1gh_1=\frac{1}{2}(0.075)(2^2)+0.075\times 9.8\times 1.6=1.326 J

Final energy=\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_x+m_1gh_2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2_2

Final energy=\frac{1}{2}(0.075)(2^2)+0.075\times 9.8\times 0.6+\frac{1}{2}(0.4)(1.69)^2=1.162 J

Energy lost due to compact=Initial energy-final energy=1.326-1.162=0.164 J

Given a block of glass that is semi-circular, a laser pointer, protractor/ruler, and index card, design your own experiment to o
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.

Explanation:

To design the experiment of measuring the critical angle, we describe the phenomenon, when the light passes from a medium with a higher refractive index to one with a lower index, it separates from the normal one and the Critical Angle is defined as the Angle for which the refraction occurs at 90º

            n₂ sin θ₂ = n₁ sin 90

           n₁ / n₂ = sin θ₂

As we can see, we have to measure the angle with which the laser touches the exit surface of the glass block.

Design of the experiment:

    We place the glass block on the ramp and at the top we hit the conveyor for half the angle, we climb the block on the ramp and see that the angle of incidence of lightning on the exit face changes, part of the beam comes out of the glass , we see it by dispersion in the particles of dirty in the air; Maybe the conveyor or the laser should be moved slightly so that the beam touches the point of origin on the conveyor.

   

   When we go up the ramp there is a point where the beam is reflected inside the block, we carefully step back to the point where the beam is horizontal, we measure this angle which is our critical angle.
