An object with kinetic energy k explodes into two pieces, each of which moves with twice the speed of the original object.

1 answer:

6 0

<span>Assuming that the momenta of the two pieces are equal: when they have equal velocities, then the masses of the two pieces are also equal. Since there is no force from outside of the system, the center of mass moves on with the same velocity as before the equation. So the two pieces must fly at the side side of the mass center, i.e., they must always be at 90Â° to the side of the mass center. Otherwise it would not be the mass center, respectively the pieces would not have equal velocities. This is only possible, when the angle of their velocity with the initial direction is 60Â°. Because, cos (60Â°) = 1/2 = v/(2v).</span>

A concave spherical mirror has a radius of curvature of magnitude 20.0 cm. (a) Find the location of the image for object distanc

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

The radius of curvature of the mirror R = 20 cm

then the focal length f = R/2 = 10 cm

(a) From mirror formula

1/f = 1/di + /1do

then the image distance

di = fd_o / d_o - f

= (10)(40) / 40-10

= 30.76 cm

since the image distance is positive so the image is real

ii) when the object distance d_0=20 cm

di = 10×20/ 20-10

= 20

Hence, the image must be real

iii)when the object distance d_0 = 10

di = 10×10 / 10-10 = ∞ (infinite)

the image will be formed at ∞

here also image will be real but diminished.

A young child is playing with a very flexible hose. She is moving her hand back and forth making transverse type waves. She move

aev [14]

Answer:

The waves will increase in frequency

Explanation:

As the young girl moves her hand back and forth faster, it will be observed that number of back and forth motions increase every second. Also the distance between crest and trough of the wave (wavelength) will be reduced as she moves her hand back and forth faster.

Frequency = number of turns (moves) per second

The waves will increase in frequency since there will be more number of back and forth motions in every second.

Also,

The distance between crest and trough will be reduced, which implies that there will be decrease in waves wavelength.

This can also be verified using wave equation;

V = Fλ

At constant velocity,

F ∝ ¹/λ

Thus, decrease in wavelength will cause increase in frequency of the waves.

The right answer is : The waves will increase in frequency

A car with a velocity of 22 m/s is accelerated at a rate of 1.6m/s2 for 6.8s. determine the final velocity

Ivahew [28]

A car with a velocity of 22 m/s is accelerated at a rate of 1.6 $m/s^2$ for 6.8s has the final velocity t be 32.88 m/s.

The acceleration means the amount of velocity changing per unit time.

The given data:

initial velocity, u = 22 m/s

time, t = 6.8 s

acceleration, a = 1.6 $m/s^2$

We will be using the equation of motion:

v = u + at

$\therefore v=22+1.(6.8)$

$\Rightarrow v=22+10.88$

$\Rightarrow v=32.88 \ m/s$

The final velocity become 32.88 m/s.

Why is current a scalar quantity?

Nutka1998 [239]

Despite current has a magnitude and a direction, like vectors, it is a scalar because it doesn't obey laws of vector addition. For instance, if we consider a junction of $90^{\circ}$ in a circuit, and two currents entering this junction, we know that the resultant current is just the algebraic sum of the two currents, not the vector sum, so it is not a vector quantity.
