Answer:
The speed of the other piece of the object is 13/4*v0, going to the right.
Explanation:
Assuming that no external forces acting during the explosion (as the time during which it happens is considered infinitesimal), total momentum must be conserved , same as it happens with the total mass, assuming that v₀ is much smaller than c (speed of light), so no conversion of mass into energy is done.
So, based on the information provided, we can write the following expression, assuming the positive direction to be the one to the right:
m*v₀ = -3/5*m*(v₀/2) + 2/5*m*vₓ
Solving for vₓ, we have:
vₓ = 13/4*v₀, to the right, as the value obtained is positive.
Answer:
The height of a tower would be 27.5 meters
Explanation:
Notice that in both cases you are dealing with diagrams representing vertical objects and shadows created by the sun, against the ground, so we are in the presence of right angle triangles which have in common another angle (that made by the rays of the sun. So we can use similar triangles and the proportion that is generated based on the quotient of similar sides to find the unknown height (h).

It is called the Coriolis Effect. It is caused by the rotation of the Earth.
Answer:
The rise from A to B is 0.887
Solution:
As per the question:
The following reading of an inverted staff is given as:
A = 2.915
B = -2.028
Here, for inverted staff, the greater reading shows greater elevation and lesser reading shows lower elevation.
Thus
The rise from A to B is given as:
A - B = 2.915 - 2.028 = 0.887
Answer:
energy can move from one location to another, the particles of matter in the medium return to their fixed position. A wave transports its energy without transporting matter.
