An object initially at rest breaks into two pieces as the result of an explosion. One piece has twice the kinetic energy of the

other piece.
Part A
What is the ratio of the masses of the two pieces?

1. m1/m2= square root 2
2. m1/m2=2

Which piece has the larger mass?
The piece with the larger kinetic energy has the larger mass.

Answer:

Part A 2 (m1/m2 = 2)

Part B ( Piece with larger kinetic energy has larger mass)

Explanation:

By the law of conservation of mass and energy both mass and energy remains constant in a system.

This means that the explosion will cause the object to break and get the energy from the explosion in form of kinetic energy. Assuming the speed to be constant greater mass means greater kinetic energy. If kinetic energy of 1 mass is twice the other one, this means mass of one is twice of the other one thus ration of their masses will be equal to two.

Thus the piece with larger mass will have greater kinetic energy. This is when we assume that speed of both pieces is constant after the explosion. Without assumption it cannot be inferred.

What does Newton's third law describe?
Dennis_Churaev [7]
A. Equal and opposite forces

Explanation:
History law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, if object A exerts a force on object B, then object B also exert an equal and opposite force on object A

Water has a density of 1.0 g/cm3. Glycerin, a liquid used in some soaps, has a density of 1.26 g/cm3. If an object sinks in wate
nasty-shy [4]
3. An object will float if its density is less than the matter it is submerged in.

If it sinks in water, its density is more than 1. If it floats in glycerin, its density is less than 1.26.

At the instant shown in the diagram, the car's centripetal acceleration is directed
serg [7]

Answer:

At the instant shown in the diagram, the car's centripetal acceleration is directed is discussed below in detail.

Explanation:

The direction of the centripetal acceleration is in a circular movement is forever towards the middle of the roundabout pathway. In the picture displayed, the East direction is approaching the center. So, the course of the car's centripetal acceleration is (H) toward the east.

Describe the core-mantle-crust structures of the terrestrial worlds. What is differentiation? What do we mean by the lithosphere
Serhud [2]

Answer:

The core: this structure of the terrestrial world is made up of sulphur, iron, silicon and it is found at the centre of the terrestrial world.

The mantle: this structure of the terrestrial world is located between the outer core and the crust and consist of mainly silicate rock.

The crust: this is the structure of the terrestrial world that makes up the outermost layer. It consist of granite and basalt.

Differentiation: this is the process by which gravity separates materials according to density, with high-density materials sinking and low-density materials rising.

Lithosphere: this is made up of the hard and rigid outer layer of the terrestrial planet and it's located between the crust and the outermost mantel.

The five terrestrial worlds includes Mercury, Venus, Earth, the Moon, and Mars. The largest which includes the Venus and Earth has the thinnest lithosphere while the smallest ( mercury and moon) have the thickest lithosphere.
