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?

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

Which feature of the sun appears in cycles of about 11 years?
goldfiish [28.3K]
The Sun's magnetic field goes through a cycle, called the solar cycle. Every 11 years or so, the Sun's magnetic field completely flips. This means that the Sun's north and south poles switch places. Then it takes about another 11 years for the Sun's north and south poles to flip back again.

What you filling your heart with <br>oxygen and blood
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

                    The right side of your heart receives oxygen-poor blood from your veins and pumps it to your lungs, where it picks up oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. The left side of your heart receives oxygen-rich blood from your lungs and pumps it through your arteries to the rest of your body.

A rock is thrown downward from an unknown height above the ground with an initial speed of 6.1 m/s. It strikes the ground 1.7 s
insens350 [35]

Answer:

24.531 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 1.7 s

u = Initial velocity = 6.1 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s² = a

Equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=6.1\times 1.7+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1.7^2\\\Rightarrow s=24.531\ m

The initial height of the rock above the ground is 24.531 m
