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

Physics

zlopas [31]3 years ago

<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 90° 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 60°. Because, cos (60°) = 1/2 = v/(2v).</span>

Does specific heat of a substance depend on its temperature?​
lara [203]

Answer:

temperature

Explanation:

In general, the specific heat also depends on the temperature. The table below lists representative values of specific heat for various substances. Except for gases, the temperature and volume dependence of the specific heat of most substances is weak.

What would the kinetic energy and potential energy be with the snowboarder, before during and after a jump?
Reika [66]

Answer: Before the jump, the snowboarder would carry potential energy.

During the jump he will carry kinetic energy.

And after the jump, assuming hes at a full stop, he will carry potential energy once again.
