Answer:

.D)The Vector sum of the linear momenta of the fragments must be zero.

Explanation:

.D)The Vector sum of the linear momenta of the fragments must be zero.

This statement is true. This is so because no external force is acting on the masses. The motion is created by internal force so momentum of fragments will be conserved.

A) this statement is false because kinetic energy was zero in the beginning ( the bomb was stationary in the beginning )

B ) This statement is false because it violates the law of conservation of momentum .( it does not violates only when all the fragments have equal mass )

C ) This statement is zero because kinetic energy is not a vector quantity so two kinetic energy when added can not sum up to zero.

The force of gravity pulls down on your school with a total force of 400,000 newtons. The force of gravity pulling down on your
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Force of gravity can be expressed as:

F = GMM/R^2

Where

F = gravitational force

M = mass

R = distance

Also, W = mg

From the above equation, we can deduce that force of gravity actually depends on mass and not volume.

The correct answer is therefore A.

Had twice as much mass

Therefore, the force of gravity pulls down on your school with a total force of 400,000 newtons. The force of gravity pulling down on your school would be exactly twice as much if your school Had twice as much mass

In a science fiction novel two enemies, Bonzo and Ender, are fighting in outer spce. From stationary positions, they push agains
Bingel [31]

Answer:

2.461

Explanation:

Let mass of Bonzo = m1

Mass of Ender =m2

When they push eachother from stationary position

Initial velocity of Bonzo = Vib=0 m/s

Final velocity of Bonzo = Vfb= 1.3 m/s

Initial velocity of Ender = Vie= 0 m/s

Final velocity of Ender = Vfe= -3.1 m/s

We know initial momentum = final momentum

==> m1Vib+m2Vie = m1Vfb+m2Vfe

==> 0+0= m1×1.3 +m2×(-3.1)

==> 1.3m1-3.1m2=0

==> 1.3 m1 = 3.2 m2

==> m1/m2 = 3.2/1.3

==> m1/m2 = 2.461

What is the function of polarized glasses?.
evablogger [386]
The polarized glasses contain a special filter that blocks the glares and the hazes while driving through the sun or looking at the water, which makes your eyes more comfortable and makes you see better.

. A projectile is fired with an initial velocity of 113 m słatan angle of 60.0
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

a) 9.99 s

b) 538 m

c) 20.5 s

d) 1160 m

Explanation:

Given:

x₀ = 0 m

y₀ = 49.0 m

v₀ = 113 m/s

θ = 60.0°

aₓ = 0 m/s²

aᵧ = -9.8 m/s²

a) At the maximum height, the vertical velocity vᵧ = 0 m/s.  Find t.

vᵧ = aᵧ t + v₀ᵧ

(0 m/s) = (-9.8 m/s²) t + (113 sin 60.0° m/s)

t ≈ 9.99 s

b) At the maximum height, the vertical velocity vᵧ = 0 m/s.  Find y.

vᵧ² = v₀ᵧ² + 2aᵧ (y − y₀)

(0 m/s)² = (113 sin 60° m/s)² + 2 (-9.8 m/s²) (y − 49.0 m)

y ≈ 538 m

c) When the projectile lands, y = 0 m.  Find t.

y = y₀ + v₀ᵧ t + ½ aᵧ t²

(0 m) = (49.0 m) + (113 sin 60° m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

You'll need to solve using quadratic formula:

t ≈ -0.489, 20.5

Since negative time doesn't apply here, t ≈ 20.5 s.

d) When the projectile lands, y = 0 m.  Find x. (Use answer from part c).

x = x₀ + v₀ₓ t + ½ aₓ t²

x = (0 m) + (113 cos 60° m/s) (20.5 s) + ½ (0 m/s²) (20.5 s)²

x ≈ 1160 m

An object has a mass of 8.00 kg. what is the gravitational force of the object on earth
KonstantinChe [14]

When a mass of 8 kg is located on the Earth's surface, the magnitude of each of
the gravitational forces attracting the mass and the Earth toward each other is

       (mass) x (acceleration of gravity on Earth) =

      (8.0 kg) x (9.81 m/s²) =

                78.48 kg-m/s²  =  <em>78.48 newtons  </em>(about 17 pounds 10.2 ounces)
