A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular t
o each other, at 25 m/s . The third piece has twice the mass as the other two. What is the speed of the third piece?
1 answer:
Answer:
v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s
Explanation:
Given that
m₁=m₂ = m
m₃ = 2 m
Given that speed of the two pieces
u₁=- 25 j m/s
u₂ =- 25 i m/s
Lets take the speed of the third mass = v m/s
From linear momentum conservation
Pi= Pf
0 = m₁u₁+m₂u₂ + m₃ v
0 = -25 j m - 25 i m + 2 m v
2 v=25 j + 25 i m/s
v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s
Therefore the speed of the third mass will be v=12.5 i + 12.5 j m/s

Zero
Explanation:
Net force can be defined as the vector sum of all the forces acting on a body or an object i.e the sum of all forces acting simultaneously on a body or an object.
Mathematically, net force is given by the formula;
Where;
Fnet is the net force.
Fapp is the applied force.
Fg is the force due to gravitation.
In this scenario, a stalled car is being pushed up a hill at constant velocity by three people. Thus, the net force on the car is zero because all the forces acting on any physical object is equal to zero and represents a constant velocity; by balancing or cancelling each other out.
According to Sir Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion which is known as Law of Inertia, it states that an object or a physical body in motion will continue in its state of motion at continuous velocity (the same speed and direction) or, if at rest, will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

Formula for magnetic force acting on current carrying cable:
Where I = 345A is the current in the wire, B = is the magnetic magnitude generated by Earth. L = 46.9 m is the cable length.
is the angle between vector B and cable direction.
