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

A slanted vector has a magnitude of 41 N and is at an angle of 23 degrees north of east. What are the magnitude and direction of
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The horizontal component is 37.74 N to east

The vertical component is 16.02 N to North

Explanation:

Any slant vector has two components

→ Horizontal component = R cos Ф

→ Vertical component = R sin Ф

→ R is the magnitude of the vector

→ Ф is the direction of the vector with positive part of the horizontal axis

A slanted vector has a magnitude of 41 N and is at an angle of 23

degrees north of east

23° north of east means the angle between the vector and the

east direction is 23° (east is the positive horizontal direction)

That means R is 41 N and Ф is 23°

→ R = 41 N , Ф = 23°

→ The horizontal component = 41 × cos(23) = 37.74 N east

→ The vertical component = 41 × sin(23) = 16.02 N North

<em>The horizontal component is 37.74 N to east</em>

<em>The vertical component is 16.02 N to North</em>

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

This a pure case of conflict of interests between the interest of the shareholders who are the original owners of the company and management's interest in earning much more,even if it at the expense of the shareholders.

Explanation:

Management is the entrusted with the day to day affairs of corporations.In carrying out their duty,they must have at the back of their minds that maximization of shareholder's wealth is of top priority.

However.some management teams in a bid to gain undue advantage set their remuneration below reasonable levels.

Ultimately,when this happens, their duty to watch over the investment of shareholders clashes with their interest for personal gains.

I need help understanding this concept . Would appreciate it so much. Thank you
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Both these questions are based on the Universal Law of Gravitation, which is given by :

F = Gm1m2 / r²

2) F = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 8 x 10³ x 1.5 x 10³ / 1.5 x 1.5

   F = 6.67 x 10⁻⁵ x 8 / 1.5

   F = 35.57 x 10⁻⁵ N

3) F = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 7.5 x 10⁵ x 9.2 x 10⁷ / 7.29 x 10⁴

   F = 6.67 x 10⁻³ x 7.5 x 9.2 / 7.29

   F = 63.13 x 10⁻³ N
