Answer:

20 m/s

Explanation:

If the mass of fragment A is m, then the mass of fragment B is 2m, and the mass of fragment C is 3m.

The velocity of A is 60 m/s at angle 0°.

The velocity of B is 30 m/s at angle 120°.

The velocity of C is v at angle θ.

In the x direction:

Momentum before = momentum after

(m + 2m + 3m) (0) = m (60 cos 0°) + 2m (30 cos 120°) + 3m (v cos θ)

0 = 60m − 30m + 3m v cos θ

0 = 30m + 3m v cos θ

-30m = 3m v cos θ

-10 = v cos θ

In the y direction:

Momentum before = momentum after

(m + 2m + 3m) (0) = m (60 sin 0°) + 2m (30 sin 120°) + 3m (v sin θ)

0 = 0 + 30√3 m + 3m v sin θ

-30√3m = 3m v sin θ

-10√3 = v sin θ

Square the two equations and add together:

(-10)² + (-10√3)² = (v cos θ)² + (v sin θ)²

100 + 300 = v² cos² θ + v² sin² θ

400 = v² (cos² θ + sin² θ)

400 = v²

v = 20

The speed of fragment C is 20 m/s.

<span>In the article “Who Shaped our Behaviors? Peers or Parents?”, Judy Rich Harris suggests that C. peers are the most influential in forming children's personalities.
When a child is young, it is very impressionable and will follow other people's influence easily. Usually, that influence comes from other kids who can do something, and then your child will want to do the same thing. So peers are crucial when forming a personality at such a young age.</span>

In a Compton scattering experiment, scattered photon is found to have its wavelength three times of the incident photon for the

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Two of Einstein’s influential ideas introduced in 1905 were the theory of special relativity and the concept of a light quantum, which we now call a photon. Beyond 1905, Einstein went further to suggest that freely propagating electromagnetic waves consisted of photons that are particles of light in the same sense that electrons or other massive particles are particles of matter. A beam of monochromatic light of wavelength \lambda (or equivalently, of frequency f) can be seen either as a classical wave or as a collection of photons that travel in a vacuum with one speed, c (the speed of light), and all carrying the same energy, {E}_{f}=hf. This idea proved useful for explaining the interactions of light with particles of matter.

provides some pertinent background for this problem. A pendulum is constructed from a thin, rigid, and uniform rod with a small

gavmur [86]

Answer:

the period of the physical pendulum is 0.498 s

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

$T_{simple$ = 0.61 s

we know that, the relationship between T and angular frequency is;

T = 2π/ω ---------- let this be equation 1

Also, the angular frequency of physical pendulum is;

ω = √(mgL / $I$ ) ------ let this equation 2

where m is mass of pendulum, L is distance between axis of rotation and the center of gravity of rod and $I$ is moment of inertia of rod.

Now, moment of inertia of thin uniform rod D is;

$I$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ mD²

since we were not given the length of the rod but rather the period of the simple pendulum, lets combine this three equations.

we substitute equation 2 into equation 1

we have;

T = 2π/ω OR T = 2π/√(mgL/ $I$ ) OR T = 2π√( $I$ /mgL)

so we can use $I$ = $\frac{1}{3}$ mD² for moment of inertia of the rod

Since center of gravity of the uniform rod lies at the center of rod

so that L = $\frac{1}{2}$ D.

now, substituting these equations, the period becomes;

T = 2π/√( $I$ /mgL) OR T = $2\pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{1}{3}mD^2 }{mg(\frac{1}{2})D } }$ OR T = 2π√(2D/3g ) ----- equation 3

length of rod D is still unknown, so from equation 1 and 2 ( period of pendulum ),

we have;

ω $_{simple$ = 2π/ $T_{simple$ OR ω $_{simple$ = √(g/D) OR ω $_{simple$ = 2π√( D/g )

so we simple solve for D/g and insert into equation 3

so we have;

T = √(2/3) × $T_{simple$

we substitute in value of $T_{simple$

T = √(2/3) × 0.61 s

T = 0.498 s

Therefore, the period of the physical pendulum is 0.498 s

You hold a barbell in a horizontal position. The barbell’s center of mass is exactly mid-way between your two hands. A friend wa

Harrizon [31]

Explanation:

First consider that each hand works as a fulcrum: a pivot point where the barbell can rotate.

Now consider only the left hand. If the center of mass of the barbell is between hands (in the middle) it is displaced respect the fulcrum, therefore the weight which is pushing the bar downwards becomes a rotational force. The same thing happens to the other hand. Now, if more weight is added to the left hand the center of mass is displaced towards the left hand and depending how much weight is added, the center of mass will change its position and therefore the torque each hand experiences changes.

If the center of mass is still between hands: The torque remains almost the same changing only the magnitudes but not the direction.

If the center of mass is on the hand: there is no torque for the left hand because there is no leaver.

If the center of mass is to the left: now the torque changes direction and both hands need to stop it in the same direction.
