Explanation:

The product of applied force and the displacement is called the amount of work done by an object. For the work to be done the force and the displacement are two important factors. The mathematical expression for the work done is given by :

$W=Fd\ cos\theta$

Where

$\theta$ is the angle between applied force and the displacement

When $\theta=90$ , W = 0

$\theta=0$ , W = F d

$\theta=180$ , W = -F d

So, we cannot consider something to be work unless force applied causes movement of an object in the same direction as the applied force. Hence, this is the required solution.

A watermelon is blown into three pieces by a large firecracker. Two pieces of equal mass m fly away perpendicular to one another

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Speed of larger piece is $\dfrac{V\sqrt{2}}{3}$

Explanation:

We apply the principle of conservation of momentum.

The watermelon is initially at rest. The initial momentum = 0 kg m/s in all directions.

After the collision,

Vertical momentum = momentum of piece in y-direction + y-component of momentum of larger piece = $mV + 3mv_{ly}$

Here, $v_{ly}$ is the y-component of velocity of larger piece.

This is equal to 0, since the initial momentum is 0.

$v_{ly}=\dfrac{V}{3}$

Horizontal momentum = momentum of piece in x-direction + x-component of momentum of larger piece = $mV + 3mv_{lx}$

Here, $v_{lx}$ is the x-component of velocity of larger piece.

This is also equal to 0, since the initial momentum is 0.

$v_{lx}=\dfrac{V}{3}$

The velocity of the larger piece, $v_l$ , is the resultant of $v_{lx}$ and $v_{ly}$ . Since they are mutually perpendicular,

$v_l = \sqrt{v_{ly}^2+v_{lx}^2}= \sqrt{\left(\dfrac{V}{3}\right)^2+\left(\dfrac{V}{3}\right)^2}$

$v_l = \dfrac{V\sqrt{2}}{3}$

.... is increasing the temperatures of earths oceans and atmosphere, leading to more intense storms of all types, including hurr

kirza4 [7]

I think with the increasing of temperatures of earths oceans and atmosphere is causing climate change and global warming. When the ocean heats up a lot of sea animals die and with the hot temps in the atmosphere is causing rare hot tempatures in some places in the world.
It can cause some intense storms but it mostly heats up the world and cause a lot of problems.

I hope i answered your question right.

what factors go into decisions about changing what materials should be used when building a products

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

you need to consider the use for the product, how brittle the materials are, how they react to certain things, the cost of the materials, the durability and flexibility of the materials, and how easy to obtain the materials are as well as how they would work and how they would hold
