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

The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.32 with the floor. If t
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The shortest braking distance is 35.8 m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law applied to the boxes, on the vertical axis we have the norm up and the weight vertically down

On the horizontal axis we fear the force of friction (fr) that opposes the movement and acceleration of the train, write the equation for each axis

    Y axis

     N- W = 0

     N = W = mg

  X axis

     -Fr = m a

     -μ N = m a

     -μ mg = ma

     a = μ g

     a  = - 0.32 9.8

     a =  - 3.14 m/s²

We calculate the distance using the kinematics equations

    Vf² = Vo² + 2 a x

     x = (Vf² - Vo²) / 2 a

When the train stops the speed is zero (Vf = 0)

 Vo = 54 km/h (1000m/1km) (1 h/3600s)= 15 m/s

     x = ( 0 - 15²) / 2 (-3.14)

     x=  35.8 m

The shortest braking distance is  35.8 m

When converted to a household measurement, 9 kilograms is approximately equal to a
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

D) 19.8 lbs

Explanation:

1kg in household measurement is equal to 35.274 ounces. 35.274*9=317.466 ounces.

1kg is also equal to 2.205 lbs. 9*2.205=19.8416

9 kg is also equal to 9000 grams, but grams are not a part of the household measurement system

a) 9000 grams. b) 9000 ounces. c) 19.8 ounces. d) 19.8 pounds.

This leaves us with 19.8lbs
