In midair an M = 145 kg bomb explodes into two pieces of m1 = 115 kg and another, respectively. Before the explosion, the bomb w

as moving at 24.0 m/s to the east. After the explosion, the velocity of the m1 = 115 kg piece is 65.0 m/s to the east. Find the velocity (in m/s) (with a proper sign) of the other piece after the explosion

Answer:

$v_2=-133.17m/s$ , the minus meaning west.

Explanation:

We know that linear momentum must be conserved, so it will be the same before ( $p_i$ ) and after ( $p_f$ ) the explosion. We will take the east direction as positive.

Before the explosion we have $p_i=m_iv_i=Mv_i$ .

After the explosion we have pieces 1 and 2, so $p_f=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$ .

These equations must be vectorial but since we look at the instants before and after the explosions and the bomb fragments in only 2 pieces the problem can be simplified in one dimension with direction east-west.

Since we know momentum must be conserved we have:

$Mv_i=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

Which means (since we want $v_2$ and $M=m_1+m_2$ ):

$v_2=\frac{Mv_i-m_1v_1}{m_2}=\frac{Mv_i-m_1v_1}{M-m_1}$

So for our values we have:

$v_2=\frac{(145kg)(24m/s)-(115kg)(65m/s)}{(145kg-115kg)}=-133.17m/s$

Answer:

Height from ground is 8 m where string will break

Explanation:

Let the string makes some angle with the vertical after some instant of time

So here we have

$T - mg cos\theta = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

$T = mg cos\theta + \frac{mv^2}{R}$

now by energy conservation we have

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mg(R cos\theta)$

$mv^2 = 2mgR cos\theta$

$T = mg cos\theta + 2mgcos\theta$

$T = 3mg cos\theta$

For string break down we have

$T = 2mg = 3mgcos\theta$

$cos\theta = \frac{2}{3}$

Now height from the ground is given as

$h = R - Rcos\theta$

$h = 24 - 24(\frac{2}{3})$

$h = 8 cm$

Which one of the following is a decomposition reaction?

BabaBlast [244]

You would know a decomposition reaction occurred if the reactants separated. For example from AB → A+B.

Now if you look at your options only 1 works out for that equation. Letter A.
From the compound K2CO3 it split up to K2O +CO2

It cannot be letter B because synthesis/combination occurred. The same goes for letter C. Letter D, single displacement occurred.

Again, the answer is A.

The width of the central maxima, formed from light of wavelength 575 nm behind a single slit that has a width of 115 μm, is 1.15

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

L = 1.15 m

Explanation:

The diffraction phenomenon is described by the equation

a sin θ = m λ

Where a is the width of the slit, λ the wavelength and m is an integer, the order of diffraction is left.

The diffraction measurements are made on a screen that is far from the slit, and the angles in the experiment are very small, let's use trigonometry

tan θ = y / L

tan θ = sint θ / cos θ≈ sin θ

We substitute in the first equation

a (y / L) = m λ

The first maximum occurs for m = 1

The distance is measured from the center point of maximum, which coincides with the center of the slit, in this case the distance is the total width of the central maximum, so the distance (y) measured from the center is

y = 1.15 / 2 = 0.575 cm

y = 0.575 10⁻² m

Let's clear the distance to the screen (L)

L = a y / λ

Let's calculate

L = 115 10⁻⁶ 0.575 10⁻² / 575 10⁻⁹

L = 1.15 m
