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 child is riding a merry-go-round that has an instantaneous angular speed of 1.25 rad/s and an angular acceleration of 0.745 ra
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

So the acceleration of the child will be 8.05m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given angular speed of the child \omega =1.25rad/sec

Radius r = 4.65 m

Angular acceleration \alpha =0.745rad/sec^2

We know that linear velocity is given by v=\omega r=1.25\times 4.65=5.815m/sec

We know that radial acceleration is given by a=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{5.815^2}{4.65}=7.2718m/sec^2

Tangential acceleration is given by

a_t=\alpha r=0.745\times 4.65=3.464m/sec^

So total acceleration will be a=\sqrt{7.2718^2+3.464^2}=8.05m/sec^2

A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water’s temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to
mart [117]

Answer:

Option B

The molecules in thermometer spread apart

Explanation:

The mercury within the thermometer spread apart leading to an increase in temperature reading in the thermometer. The spreading apart of mercury molecules is caused by an increase in kinetic energy of molecules and with time the increase in kinetic energy decreases making the reading to stop increasing hence constant.

A car traveling at 30 m/s drives off a cliff that is 50 meters high? How far away does it land?
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The maximum range R_{max}= 132. 72 m

Explanation:

Given,

The initial velocity of the car, u = 30 m/s

The height of the cliff, h = 50 m

Let the car drives off the cliff with a horizontal velocity of 30 m/s.

The formula for a projectile that is projected from a height h from the ground is given by the relation

                                R_{max}= \frac{u}{g}\sqrt{u^{2} + 2gh }  m

Where,

                          g - acceleration due to gravity

Substituting the values in the above equation

                   R_{max}= \frac{30}{9.8}\sqrt{30^{2} + 2X9.8X50 }  

                                          = 132.72  m

Hence, the car lands at a distance, R_{max}= 132. 72 m
