A firecracker breaks up into two pieces , one has a mass of 200 g and files off along the x –axis with a speed of 82.0 m/s and t

he second has a mass of 300 g and flies off along the y-axis with a speed of 45.0 m/s . What is the total momentum of the two pieces ?
a) 361 kg x m/s at 56.3 degrees from the x-axis .
b) 93.5 kg x m/s at 28.8 degrees from the x-axis .
c) 21.2 kg x m/s at 39.5 degrees from the x-axis .

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)

The gas pressure inside a container decreases when
avanturin [10]

Answer:

When the volume increases or when the temperature decreases

Explanation:

The ideal gas equation states that:

pV= nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles of gas

R is the gas constant

T is the gas temperature

Assuming that we have a fixed amount of gas, so n is constant, we can rewrite the equation as

\frac{pV}{T}=const.

which means the following:

- Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume: this means that the pressure decreases when the volume increases

- Pressure is directly proportional to the temperature: this means that the pressure decreases when the temperature decreases
