An object with total mass mtotal = 14.6 kg is sitting at rest when it explodes into three pieces. One piece with mass m1 = 4.9 k

g moves up and to the left at an angle of ?1 = 22° above the –x axis with a speed of v1 = 25.6 m/s. A second piece with mass m2 = 5.5 kg moves down and to the right an angle of ?2 = 27° to the right of the -y axis at a speed of v2 = 20.6 m/s.
1)What is the magnitude of the final momentum of the system (all three pieces)?
kg-m/s


2)What is the mass of the third piece?

3)What is the x-component of the velocity of the third piece?

4)What is the y-component of the velocity of the third piece?

5)What is the magnitude of the velocity of the center of mass of the pieces after the collision?

6)Calculate the increase in kinetic energy of the pieces during the explosion.

Answer: 1) 0. 2) 4.2 Kg. 3) 15.4 m/s 4) 12.9 m/s 5) 0. 6) 3.62 KJ.

Explanation:

1) Assuming that no external forces act during the collision, total momentum must be conserved. As initially the total mass was at rest, so initial momentum is zero, final momentum of all the system must be 0 also.

2) After the explosion, as mass must be conserved also, the sum of the masses of the three pieces must be equal to the original total mass, so we can write the following:

m₁ + m₂ + m₃ = M = 14.6 Kg = 4.9 Kg + 5.5 Kg + m₃

Solving for m₃, we have:

m₃ = 14.6 Kg - 4.9 Kg -5.5 Kg = 4.2 Kg.

3) and 4)

As momentum is a vector, if it is magnitude must be 0, this means that all his components must be 0 too.

So, we can write two equations, one for the x-component, and other for the y-component, as follows:

pₓ = m₁. v₁ₓ + m₂.v₂ₓ + m₃.v₃ₓ = 0

py = m₁.v₁y + m₂. v₂y + m₃. v₃y =0

Replacing by the values, and solving for v₃ₓ and v₃y, we get:

v₃ₓ = 15.4 m/s

v₃y = 12.9 m/s

v = √(15.4)²+(12.9)² = 20.1 m/s

5) As the center of mass must move as if all the mass were concentrated in this point, and we know that the total momentum must be 0, this tells us that the magnitude of the velocity of the center of mass must be 0 too.

6) As initial kinetic energy is 0, as  the mass was at rest, the increase in the kinetic energy is obtained simply adding the kinetic energy of every piece of mass gained after explosion, as follows:

K = K₁ + K₂ + K₃ = 1/2 (m₁ . v₁² + m₂.v₂² + m₃.v₃²)

Replacing by the values, we get:

K= 3.62 KJ

A caregiver's love, affection, and acceptance are considered conditional if they're given only when the child is well-behaved or
murzikaleks [220]

Hello there!  Yes, this is a TRUE statement.

Conditional means something happens on the condition of something else happening. In this case, the something else happening is if the child "child is well-behaved or meets set expectations", and the thing happening because of this is the caregiver's " love, affection, and acceptance". If the child was not any of the things listed, the caregiver would not be the things listed.

I hope this helps, have a great day! :)

PLEASE HELP ANSWER FAST As the vibration of molecules decreases, the _____ of the substance decreases. 1.temperature 2.internal
Aleksandr [31]
I think 1 and 3 is absolutely right but im not sure about number 2.
I think the answer is 4 all of the above because as the vibration decrease automatically the kinetic energy decrease and the temperature is decrease because when the vibration of molecules decrease thats mean the substances is slightly become a solid and you can get a solid cube of liquid if you freeze them

A sphere has a radius of 3.9cm and a density of 7.58 g/cm cubed. What is the mass?
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

m=ρV

V=4/3 * pi * r3

V=1.3 * 3.14 * 3.9^3

V=242.14 cm^3

m=7.58 * 242.14

m=1.8 kG

Explanation:

1. We calculate volume for sphere.

2. Then we calculate mass of sphere.

Three observers watch a train pull away from a station toward the right of the platform. Observer A is in one of the train’s car
juin [17]

Observer A is moving inside the train

so here observer A will not be able to see the change in position of train as he is standing in the same reference frame

So here as per observer A the train will remain at rest and its not moving at all

Observer B is standing on the platform so here it is a stationary reference frame which is outside the moving body

So here observer B will see the actual motion of train which is moving in forward direction away from the platform

Observer C is inside other train which is moving in opposite direction on parallel track. So as per observer C the train is coming nearer to him at faster speed then the actual speed because they are moving in opposite direction

So the distance between them will decrease at faster rate

Now as per Newton's II law

F = ma

Now if train apply the brakes the net force on it will be opposite to its motion

So we can say

- F = ma

a = \frac{-F}{m}

so here acceleration negative will show that train will get slower and its distance with respect to us is now increasing with less rate

It is not affected by the gravity  because the gravity will cause the weight of train and this weight is always counterbalanced by normal force on the train

So there is no effect on train motion
