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 racecar driver steps on the gas, and his racecar travels 20 meters in 2 seconds starting from rest. The acceleration of the ra
givi [52]

Answer:

2.5m/s^2

Explanation:

Step one:

given

distance = 20meters

time = 2 seconds

initial velocity u= 0m/s

let us solve for the final velocity

velocity = distance/time

velocity= 20/2

velocity= 10m/s

v^2=u^2+2as\\\\10^2=0^2+2*a*20\\\\100=40a

divide both sides by 40

a= 100/40\\\\a=10/4\\\\a= 5/2\\\\a= 2.5m/s^2

Answer:

  zero

Explanation:

Acceleration is a measure of the rate of change of velocity. If the velocity is unchanging, its rate of change is zero.

The acceleration is zero.

7. An 8 kg ball is travelling to the east at 10 ms', collides with a 2 kg ball travelling to the
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The final velocity of the ball is 7m/s

Explanation:

M1=8kg,  V1 =10m/s , M2=2kg , V2=-5m/s

initial momentum before collison

m1v1+m2v2

=8×10 +2×(-5)  =80-10  = 70kg m/s

final momentum after collison

=(m1+m2)×v

=(8+2)×v

=10v

According to the law of conversion of momentum

initial momentum =final momentum

70=10v

10v=70

v=70/10

v=7m/s

In order for a person to "see" an object, light waves pass through the ___________.
spayn [35]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. In order for a person to "see" an object, light waves pass through the cornea. The cornea is the transparent layer forming at the front of the eye. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
