Answer:
A) 21.2 kg.m/s at 39.5 degrees from the x-axis
Explanation:
Mass of the smaller piece = 200g = 200/1000 = 0.2 kg
Mass of the bigger piece = 300g = 300/1000 = 0.3 kg
Velocity of the small piece = 82 m/s
Velocity of the bigger piece = 45 m/s
Final momentum of smaller piece = 0.2 × 82 = 16.4 kg.m/s
Final momentum of bigger piece = 0.3 × 45 = 13.5 kg.m/s
since they acted at 90oc to each other (x and y axis) and also momentum is vector quantity; then we can use Pythagoras theorems
Resultant momentum² = 16.4² + 13.5² = 451.21
Resultant momentum = √451.21 = 21.2 kg.m/s at angle 39.5 degrees to the x-axis ( tan^-1 (13.5 / 16.4)
Answer:
C
Explanation:
light can travel in a vacuum Anne the sped varies
Answer:
(a) 89 m/s
(b) 11000 N
Explanation:
Note that answers are given to 2 significant figures which is what we have in the values in the question.
(a) Speed is given by the ratio of distance to time. In the question, the time given was the time it took the pulse to travel the length of the cable twice. Thus, the distance travelled is twice the length of the cable.

(b) The tension,
, is given by

where
is the speed,
is the tension and
is the mass per unit length.
Hence,

To determine
, we need to know the mass of the cable. We use the density formula:

where
is the mass and
is the volume.

If the length is denoted by
, then


The density of steel = 8050 kg/m3
The cable is approximately a cylinder with diameter 1.5 cm and length or height of 620 m. Its volume is
