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

Calculate the distance traveled by a projectile as a function of launch angle. Compare the distances for two projectiles launche
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

R = x_{max} = \frac{v^2\sin(2\theta)}{g}\\\frac{R_1}{R_2} = \frac{\sin(2\theta_1}{\sin(2\theta_2}

Explanation:

Using kinematics equations:

\Delta x = v_{0x}t\\\Delta y = -\frac{1}{2}gt^2+v_{0y}t

Use \Delta y = 0 due to condition of distance traveled.

Solving second equation for time, there are two solutions. t=0 and

t=\frac{2v_{0y}}{g}

Use the expression in the first equation to have

R = \frac{2v^2 \cos\theta\sin\theta}{g}

Using trigonometric identities, you have the answer of the distance.

By doing the ratio for two different angles, you have the second answer. Due to sine function properties, the distances can be the same to complementary angles. Example, for 20° and 70°, the distance is the same.

A 2.964 kilogram truck strikes a fence at 7.00 meters/second and comes to
Makovka662 [10]

10.92N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of truck = 2.964kg

Velocity of truck = 7m/s

Time taken = 1.9s

Unknown:

Average force on the car = ?

Solution:

According to newton's third law of motion "action and reaction are equal and opposite".

The force with which the truck struck the fence is the same as the force the fence acted on the truck with but in another direction.

 From newton's second law:

      Force  = mass x acceleration

      We know that acceleration is the change in velocity with time;

   acceleration = \frac{change in velocity }{time }

   Force =  mass x  \frac{change in velocity }{time }

  Force = \frac{2.964 x 7}{1.9} = 10.92N

A rocket fires two engines simultaneously. One produces a thrust of 725Ndirectly forward while the other gives a 513N thrust at
faust18 [17]

The magnitude of the resultant force, F = 1,190.3 acting at a direction X = 13.35°.

<h3>What is the resultant force the two engines exert on the rocket?</h3>

The resultant force on the rocket is calculated thus:

The 513N thrust is resolved into vertical and horizontal components;

Horizontal component: 513N cos(32.4°) = 433.14 N

Vertical component: 513N sin(32.4°) = 274.88 N

Total forward force on the rocket = 725 N + 433.14 N = 1,158.14 N

Total force at right angles:

0 + 274.88 N = 274.88 N

The resultant force (F) is then given as follows:

F² = a² + b²

F² = (1158.14 N)² + (274.88 N)²

F = √1,416,847.27

F = 1,190.3

To find the direction:

tan X 274.88 N / 1,158.14 N

X = tan⁻¹ 0.237346089419241

X = 13.35°

Therefore, the magnitude of the resultant force, F = 1,190.3 acting at a direction X = 13.35°.

In conclusion, the resultant force is obtained by resolving the forces into vertical and horizontal components.
