A because light is the fastest thing on this earth
Mechanical energy (ME) is the sum of potential energy (PE) and kinetic energy (KE). When the toy falls, energy is converted from PE to KE, but by conservation of energy, ME (and therefore PE+KE) will remain the same.
Therefore, ME at 0.500 m is the same as ME at 0.830 m (the starting point). It's easier to calculate ME at the starting point because its just PE we need to worry about (but if we wanted to we could calculate the instantaneous PE and KE at 0.500 m too and add them to get the same answer).
At the start:
ME = PE = mgh
ME = 0.900 (9.8) (0.830)
ME = 7.32 J
Answer:
a.) 1567.2 m/s
b.) 149.4 m/s
Explanation:
Given that a 26 kg body is moving through space in the positive direction of an x axis with a speed of 350 m/s when, due to an internal explosion, it breaks into three parts. One part, with a mass of 7.8 kg, moves away from the point of explosion with a speed of 180 m/s in the positive y direction. A second part, with a mass of 8.8 kg, moves in the negative x direction with a speed of 640 m/s.
The x-component of the third part can be calculated by assuming that it moves in a positive x axis.
The third mass = 26 - ( 7.8 + 8.8)
The third mass = 26 - 16.6
The third mass = 9.4kg
since momentum is conserved, the momentum before explosion will be equal to sum of the momentum after explosion
26 x 350 = -8.8 x 640 + 9.4V
9100 = -5632 + 9.4V
9.4V = 9100 + 5632
9.4V = 14732
V = 14732/9.4
V = 1567.2 m/s
(b) y-component of the velocity of the third part will be
7.8 x 180 = 9.4 V
1404 = 9.4V
V = 1404/9.4
V = 149.4 m/s
In a collision, there'll always be two mechanical force involved. One is the force of acceleration and the other is the frictional force. In an event of a collision, the two colliding bodies will experience change in acceleration, one who has the larger momentum will retain its direction of acceleration, all the while both body will experience another which is frictional force.
Answer: Therefore, Wave speed is 50 meter per second
