An object with total mass mtotal = 16.2 kg is sitting at rest when it explodes into three pieces. One piece with mass m1 = 4.7 k

g moves up and to the left at an angle of θ1 = 23° above the –x axis with a speed of v1 = 25.4 m/s. A second piece with mass m2 = 5.2 kg moves down and to the right an angle of θ2 = 28° to the right of the -y axis at a speed of v2 = 23.8 m/s.
1) What is the magnitude of the final momentum of the system (all three pieces)?
kg-m/s
2) What is the mass of the third piece?
3) What is the x-component of the velocity of the third piece?
4) What is the y-component of the velocity of the third piece?
5) What is the magnitude of the velocity of the center of mass of the pieces after the collision?
6) Calculate the increase in kinetic energy of the pieces during the explosion.

An object with total mass mtotal = 16.2 kg is sitting at rest when it explodes into three pieces. One piece with mass m1 = 4.7 kg moves up and to the left at an angle of θ1 = 23° above the –x axis with a speed of v1 = 25.4 m/s. A second piece with mass m2 = 5.2 kg moves down and to the right an angle of θ2 = 28° to the right of the -y axis at a speed of v2 = 23.8 m/s.

2) What is the mass of the third piece?

3) What is the x-component of the velocity of the third piece?

4) What is the y-component of the velocity of the third piece?

5) What is the magnitude of the velocity of the center of mass of the pieces after the collision?

6) Calculate the increase in kinetic energy of the pieces during the explosion

Explanation:

Since explosions and collisions follow the law of conservation of Momentum.

1) Magnitude of the final momentum of the system = Magnitude of the initial momentum of the system

Since the body was initially at rest,

Magnitude of the initial momentum of the system = 0 kgm/s

Hence, Magnitude of the final momentum of the system is also equal to 0 kgm/s.

2) mass of the third piece

Sum of all the masses = 16.2 kg

4.7 + 5.2 + c = 16.2

c = 6.3 kg

3) doing an x-component balance on momentum

(4.7)×(-25.4 cos 23) + (5.2)×(23.8 cos 28) + (6.3)(v) = 0

-0.6163 + 6.3v = 0

v = -0.0978 m/s

Hope this Helps!!!

the earth has more rotational kinetic energy now than did the cloud of gas and dust from which it formed. where did this energy
goldfiish [28.3K]

Explanation:

Earth or any planet are actually born from huge clouds of gas and dust. Their stellar mass are fairly distributed at a radius from the axis of rotation. Gravitational force cause the cloud to come together. Now the whole gathered in smaller area. Now, individual particles come close to the roational axis. Thus, decreasing the moment of inertia of the planet.

As

I=mr^2

reducing r reduces I. However, the angular moment of the system remains always conserved. So, to conserve the angular momentum the angular velocity of the planet increases and so did the  otational kinetic energy

A man standing on a bus remains still when the bus is at rest. When the bus moves forward and then
Hoochie [10]
This is an example of inertia - the body keeps it's energy because there is no force applied to it. When we try to stop it's motion, it resists. A man is not rigidly attached to the bus, so he keeps moving forward, at least until he hits the front window from inside. Answer is D.

What type of eclipse is shown? How do you know?
Sonja [21]
That is a lunar eclipse. At night, when the Earth is between the Sun and the moon, the moon would appear to be red. Just for future reference, a solar eclipse is when the Moon is between the Sun and Earth. Speaking of which, check out the solar eclipse this August!

What relationship between the sun and earth did copernicus formulate?
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The astronomical model created and published by Nicholas Copernicus in the year 1543 is called Copernican heliocentrism. The model set the Sun in immobile position near the center of the solar system with Earth, as well as the other planets, spherical, epicycled and at consistent frequencies around it.
