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

A wave travels at a constant speed. How does the frequency change if the wavelength increases by a factor of 2?
NARA [144]

Answer : The frequency decreases by a factor of 2.

Explanation :

Given that the wave travels at a constant speed. The speed of the wave is given as :

v=\nu\times \lambda

Where

υ is the frequency of the wave

and λ is the wavelength of the wave.

In this case, the speed is constant. So, the relation between the frequency and the wavelength is inverse.

\nu\propto \dfrac{1}{\lambda}

If the wavelength increases by a factor of 2, its frequency will decrease by a factor of 2.

Hence, the correct option is (A) " The frequency decreases by a factor of 2 ".
