A bomb at rest at the origin of an xy-coordinate system explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, of mass

5 kg, moves with a velocity of 42 m/s in the negative x-direction, and a second piece, also of mass 5 kg, moves with a velocity of 38 m/s in the negative y-direction. The third piece has a mass of 10 kg.a. What is the initial momentum of the bomb before the explosion?b. What is the x-component of the velocity of the third piece just after the explosion?c. What is the y-component of the velocity of the third piece just after the explosion?d. What is the magnitude of the velocity of the third piece?e. Just after the explosion, in what direction is the third piece moving? (Give your answer as an angle measured clockwise from the positive x-axis.)

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) It is given that bomb was at rest initially , so ,  its momentum before the explosion was zero.

b ) We shall apply law of conservation of momentum along x and y direction separately because no external force acts on the bomb.

If v be the velocity of the third part along a direction making angle θ

with x axis ,

x component of v = vcosθ

So momentum along x axis  after explosion of third part   = mv cosθ

= 10 v cosθ

Momentum along x of first part = -  5 x 42 m/s

momentum of second part along x direction =0

total momentum along x direction before explosion = total momentum along x direction after explosion

0 = - 5 x 42 + 10 v cosθ

v cosθ = 21

Similarly

total momentum along y direction before explosion = total momentum along y direction after explosion

0 = - 5 x 38 +  10 v sinθ

v sinθ= 21

squaring and and then adding the above equation

v² cos²θ +v² sin²θ = 21² +19²

v² = 441 + 361

v = 28.31 m/s

Tanθ = 21 / 19

θ = 48°

A ball is thrown upward. As it passes 5.0 m height it is traveling at 4.0 m/s up. What was its initial upward velocity? (a) 7.0
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

c) 10.7m/s

Explanation:

From the exercise we know that at 5m the ball  is traveling at 4m/s

To calculate its initial velocity we need to solve the following equation:

v_{y}^{2}=v_{oy}^{2}+2g(y-y_{o})

Since the initial height is 0

Solving for v_{o}

v_{oy}=\sqrt{v_{y}^{2}-2gy}=\sqrt{(4m/s)^2-2(-9.8m/s^2)(5m)}=10.7m/s

A cylindrical tank has a tight-fitting piston that allows the volume of the tank to be changed. The tank originally contains air
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

the value of the final pressure is 0.168 atm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Let p₁ be initial pressure, v₁ be initial volume.

After expansion, p₂ is final pressure and v₂ is final volume.

So using the following equations;

p₁v₁ = nRT

p₂v₂ = nRT

hence, p₁v₁ = p₂v₂

we find p₂

p₂ = p₁v₁ / v₂

given that; initial volume v₁ = 0.175 m³, Initial pressure p₁ = 0.350 atm,

final volume v₂ = 0.365 m³

we substitute

p₂ = ( 0.350 atm × 0.175 m³ ) / 0.365 m³

p₂ = 0.06125 atm-m³ / 0.365 m³

p₂ = 0.168 atm

Therefore, the value of the final pressure is 0.168 atm
