An object of mass 4 kg is initially at rest on a frictionless ice rink. It suddenly explodes into three pieces (I have no idea w

hy it happened!). One chunk of mass 1 kg slides across the ice with a velocity 1.2 ms^-1i and another chunk of mass 2kg slides across the ice with a velocity 0.8 m.s^-1j. Determine the velocity of the third chunk in magnitude angle form.

We have two events that occurred on different axes, the most convenient is to perform the operations on the two axes, and then look for the resulting force.

Our values are,

m_1=1kg\\m_2 = 2kg\\v_1' = 1.2m/s\\v_1''= 0.8m/s

PAR A) For the X axis, we apply momentum conservation, which is given by,

Total momentum before = Total momentum After

We start from rest, so in X the initial speeds are 0,

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v_1'+m_2v_2'

0+0 = (1*1.2)+(1)v_2'

V_2' = -1.2m/s

Now we apply for the conservation of the moment, it is part of the rest, so,

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v_1''+m_2v_2''

0+0=2*0.8+1*v_2''

v_2'' = -1.6

To find the total speed, we simply apply pitagoras,

V = \sqrt{v_2'^2+v_2^2''}

V = \sqrt{1.2^2+1.6^2}

V = 2m/s

PART B) The address is given by,

tan\theta = \frac{V_2''}{V_2'}

\theta = tan^{-1} \frac{V_2''}{V_2'}

\theta = tan^{-1} \frac{1.6}{1.2}

\theta = 53.31\° (Below -x axis)

How are Earth and Venus similar? How is Venus different from Earth? (Provide two similarities and two differences.)
Alika [10]
Venus shares a similar size, surface composition, and has an atmosphere with a complex weather system. Venus is different from Earth because it spins the opposite direction of Earth and it’s rotation is very slow.

With what maximum precision can its position be ascertained? [hint: ?p=m?v.]
Nana76 [90]
The formula for the momentum is
p = mv
As a consequence of the conservation of energy, there is also the law of conservation of momentum.
So,
Δp = Δmv = mΔv
The maximum precision that the position can be ascertained is less than 100% because of dissipation.

Is an imaginary "line" from the earth to the moon a line, a ray, or a segment? Why?
igomit [66]

Answer;

- Line segment

Explanation;

"from earth to moon" implies endpoints at both locations and it is thus a line segment

A line extends forever in both directions, a line segment is just part of a line. It has two endpoints, and a ray starts at one point and continues on forever in one direction.

A particle moves horizontally in uniform circular motion, over a horizontal xy plane. At one instant, it moves through the point
seropon [69]

since centripetal acceleration is always towards the center of the circle

so at the given position where speed and acceleration is given the center coordinate will be towards the center of circle

also we know that

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}

11.6 = \frac{2.5^2}{R}

R = 0.54 m

so the coordinates of the center will be

(x, y) = (3.20 , (3.5 + 0.54))

(x, y) = (3.20, 4.04)

so the coordinate is (3.20 m, 4.04 m)
