A vessel at rest at the origin of an xy coordinate system explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, of ma

ss m, moves with velocity (-29 m/s) and a second piece, also of mass m, moves with velocity (-29 m/s) . The third piece has mass 3m. Just after the explosion, what are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (as an angle relative to the +x axis) of the velocity of the third piece?

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

$m_1=m_2=m$

$v_1=-29 im/s$

$v_2=-29 jm/s$

$m_3=3m$

a.Initial velocity of vessel,u=0

According to law of conservation of momentum

$Mu=m_1v_1+m_2v_2+m_3v_3$

Where M=Mass of vessel

$0=m(-29i)+m(-29j)+3mv_3$

$29im+29jm=3mv_3$

$v_3=29i+29j$ m/s

Magnitude, $\mid v_3\mid=\sqrt{(29)^2+(29)^2}=29\sqrt 2m/s$

b. $\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})=tan^{-1}(\frac{29}{29})=45^{\circ}$

Hence, direction of the velocity of third piece=45 degree

The magnitude of the gravitational field strength near Earth's surface is represented by

Zanzabum

Answer:

The magnitude of the gravitational field strength near Earth's surface is represented by approximately $9.82\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ .

Explanation:

Let be M and m the masses of the planet and a person standing on the surface of the planet, so that M >> m. The attraction force between the planet and the person is represented by the Newton's Law of Gravitation:

$F = G\cdot \frac{M\cdot m}{r^{2}}$

Where:

$M$ - Mass of the planet Earth, measured in kilograms.

$m$ - Mass of the person, measured in kilograms.

$r$ - Radius of the Earth, measured in meters.

$G$ - Gravitational constant, measured in $\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}}$ .

But also, the magnitude of the gravitational field is given by the definition of weight, that is:

$F = m \cdot g$

Where:

$m$ - Mass of the person, measured in kilograms.

$g$ - Gravity constant, measured in meters per square second.

After comparing this expression with the first one, the following equivalence is found:

$g = \frac{G\cdot M}{r^{2}}$

Given that $G = 6.674\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}}$ , $M = 5.972 \times 10^{24}\,kg$ and $r = 6.371 \times 10^{6}\,m$ , the magnitude of the gravitational field near Earth's surface is:

$g = \frac{\left(6.674\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}} \right)\cdot (5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg)}{(6.371\times 10^{6}\,m)^{2}}$

$g \approx 9.82\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

The magnitude of the gravitational field strength near Earth's surface is represented by approximately $9.82\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ .
