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.

Why the greater the depth, the greater the pressure?
Tatiana [17]
Well, the reason behind this is because water depth (I assume you're talking about water/liquid) increases the pressure because of the weight and volume of the water above. I hope this helps! ~Mia

OlgaM077 [116]
The IRB at the university will decide whether her study meets ethical guidelines before it is initiated. The importance of these codes of conduct is to safeguard research participants, the status of psychology and the researchers or psychologists themselves. Moral issues hardly yield a simple, unequivocal, right or wrong answer. It is consequently often a matter of judgment whether the research is justified or not. For instance, it might be that a study roots psychological or physical uneasiness to participants, maybe they agonize pain or maybe even come to solemn harm.

A basketball rolls without slipping (starting from rest) down a ramp. If the ramp is sloped by an angle of 4 degrees above the h
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

11.7 m/s

Explanation:

To find its speed, we first find the acceleration of the center of mass of a rolling object is given by

a = gsinθ/(1 + I/MR²) where θ = angle of slope = 4, I = moment of inertia of basketball = 2/3MR²

a = 9.8 m/s²sin4(1 + 2/3MR²/MR²)

  = 9.8 m/s²sin4(1 + 2/3)

  = 9.8 m/s²sin4 × (5/3)

  = 1.14 m/s²

To find its speed v after rolling for 60 m, we use

v² = u² + 2as where u = initial speed = 0 (since it starts from rest), s = 60 m

v = √(u² + 2as) = √(0² + 2 × 1.14 m/s × 60 m) = √136.8 = 11.7 m/s
