A novelty golf ball of mass m is launched with an initial velocity v0 = (25i + 13j) m/s and then follows a parabolic trajectory.

At the top of the ball’s trajectory, it explodes into two fragments A and B. Fragment A has mass mA = 1/3 m and is stationary immediately after the explosion, while Fragment B has mass mB = 2/3 m and has non-zero velocity vB immediately after splitting from Fragment A. In answering the following questions, ignore air resistance and assume the terrain over which the ball and fragments fly is level.(a) How many seconds after the launch does the ball attain its maximum height? (b) What is the velocity v of the ball immediately prior to the explosion? (c) What is the velocity of Fragment B immediately before it hits the ground?

Explanation:

(a)

The initial vertical velocity is 13 m/s.  At the maximum height, the vertical velocity is 0 m/s.

v = at + v₀

0 = (-9.8) t + 13

t ≈ 1.33 s

(b)

Immediately prior to the explosion, the ball is at the maximum height.  Here, the vertical velocity is 0 m/s, and the horizontal velocity is constant at 25 m/s.

v = √(vx² + vy²)

v = √(25² + 0²)

v = 25 m/s

(c)

Momentum is conserved before and after the explosion.

In the x direction:

m vx = ma vax + mb vbx

m (25) = (⅓ m) (0) + (⅔ m) (vbx)

25m = (⅔ m) (vbx)

25 = ⅔ vbx

vbx = 37.5 m/s

And in the y direction:

m vy = ma vay + mb vby

m (0) = (⅓ m) (0) + (⅔ m) (vby)

0 = (⅔ m) (vby)

vby = 0 m/s

Since the vertical velocity hasn't changed, and since Fragment B lands at the same height it was launched from, it will have a vertical velocity equal in magnitude and opposite in direction as its initial velocity.

vy = -13 m/s

And the horizontal velocity will stay constant.

vx = 37.5 m/s

The velocity vector is (37.5 i - 13 j) m/s.  The magnitude is:

v = √(vx² + vy²)

v = √(37.5² + (-13)²)

v ≈ 39.7 m/s

Does the number of particles change as the substance changes its state?​
Leviafan [203]

Particles stay the same unless there is a chemical change whether the matter is solid, liquid or gas. ... When substances change state there is no change in mass so if 100 g of ice is melted 100g of water are formed this will boil to form 100g of steam (this is called "conservation of mass").

If there is a 25 [lbs] of force acting on a 5 [lbs] of mass, what is the acceleration of that mass?
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

f = 25 lbs

m = 5 lbs

a =?

f = ma

25 = 5 a( divide both sides by 5)

a = 5(lbs)

A 49.6-kg crate rests on a level floor at a shipping dock. The coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.584 and 0.399,
NISA [10]

Answer:

(a) Force must be grater than 283.87 N

(B) Force will be equal to 193.945 N      

Explanation:

We have given mass of the crate m = 49.6 kg

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.8m/sec^2

Coefficient of static friction \mu _s=0.584

Coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.399

(a) Static friction force is given by F_S=\mu _smg=0.584\times 49.6\times 9.8=283.8707N

So to just start the crate moving we have to apply more force than 283.87 N

(B) This force will be equal to kinetic friction force

We know that kinetic friction force is given by F_k=\mu _kmg=0.399\times 49.6\times 9.8=193.945N

N 1800kg car has an<br> of 3.8m/s? What is it<br> on the car?<br> acceleration<br> force acting
nevsk [136]

Answer:

6840 N

Explanation:

The force acting on the car can be found by using Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force on the car

m is the mass of the car

a is its acceleration

For the car in this problem,

m = 1800 kg

a=3.8 m/s^2

Substituting,

F=(1800)(3.8)=6840 N
