Answer:
The heavier piece acquired 2800 J kinetic energy
Explanation:
From the principle of conservation of linear momentum:
0 = M₁v₁ - M₂v₂
M₁v₁ = M₂v₂
let the second piece be the heavier mass, then
M₁v₁ = (2M₁)v₂
v₁ = 2v₂ and v₂ = ¹/₂ v₁
From the principle of conservation of kinetic energy:
¹/₂ K.E₁ + ¹/₂ K.E₂ = 8400 J
¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₂ (2M₁)(¹/₂v₁)² = 8400
¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₄M₁(v₁)² = 8400
K.E₁ + ¹/₂K.E₁ = 8400
Now, we determine K.E₁ and note that K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁
1.5 K.E₁ = 8400
K.E₁ = 8400/1.5
K.E₁ = 5600 J
K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁ = 0.5*5600 J = 2800 J
Therefore, the heavier piece acquired 2800 J kinetic energy
Answer:
See Explanation
Explanation:
According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of a body is proportional to the net external force that acts on the body.
A body accelerated when it is acted upon by an unbalanced net external force.
When the external forces acting on a body are balanced, the effect of each force is cancelled by the other hence the body is not accelerated according to Newton's second law.
Answer:
14.3kg
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Quantity of heat = 149000J
Change in temperature = 5.23°C
specific heat of the ice = 2000J/kg°C
Unknown:
Mass of the ice in the bag = ?
Solution:
The heat capacity of a substance is given as:
H = m c Ф
H is the heat capacity
m is the mass
c is the specific heat
Ф is the temperature change;
since m is the unknown, we make it the subject of the expression;
m = H/ mФ
m = 
= 14.3kg
