A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Two pieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular t

o each other, at 21 m/s . The third piece has twice the mass as the other two.
what is the speed of the third piece?

what is the direction of the third piece? (degrees north of east)?

Explanation:

Let us assume that piece 1 is m_{1} is facing west side. And, piece 2 is m_{2} facing south side.

Let m_{1} \text{and} m_{2} = m and m_{3} = 2m. Hence,

        2mv_{3y} = m(21)

          v_{3y} = \frac{21}{2}

                     = 10.5 m/s

2mv_{3x} = m(21)

          v_{3x} = \frac{21}{2}

                     = 10.5 m/s

  v_{3} = \sqrt{v^{2}_{3x} + v^{2}_{3y}}

              = \sqrt{(10.5)^{2} + (10.5)^{2}}

              = 14.84 m/s

or,          = 15 m/s

Hence, the speed of the third piece is 15 m/s.

Now, we will find the angle as follows.

          \theta = tan^{-1} (\frac{v_{3y}}{v_{3x}})

                      = tan^{-1}(\frac{10.5}{10.5})

                      = tan^{-1} (45^{o})

                      = 45^{o}

Therefore, the direction of the third piece (degrees north of east) is north of east.

Known :

l = 7 cm

w = 4 cm

Asked :

h = ...?

Answer :

V = B triangle × h (long)

35 = ½ × 4 × h × 7

35 = ½ × 28 × h

35 = 14 h

h = 35 ÷ 14

h = 2,5 cm

The fluid pressure 10 ft underwater is _____ the fluid pressure 5 ft underwater. A.less than or greater than, depending on what
just olya [345]
<span>I would say greater than because as you do deeper, the pressure strengthens. If you were in a 10 ft deep pool and you dive all the way to the bottom, the ears usually pop. That's because of the pressure. Whereas if you were to go five feet, your ears wouldn't. It depends on the age of the person. Hope this helps.</span>

A beam of protons enter the electric field of magnitude E = 0.5 N/C between a pair of parallel plates. There is a magnetic field
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

0.217 m/s

Explanation:

The protons in the beam passes undeflected when the electric force is equal to the magnetic force:

qE = qvB

where

q is the proton's charge

E is the magnitude of the electric field

v is the speed of the protons

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field

Re-arranging the equation,

v=\frac{E}{B}

And by substituting

E = 0.5 N/C

B = 2.3 T

We find

v=\frac{0.5}{2.3}=0.217 m/s

gogolik [260]

Answer:

C. dismiss them.

Explanation:

The American Psychological Association is a scientific organization and it serves as an umbrella body for the professional psychologists practicing in the United States of America. This professional organization was founded by Granville Stanley Hall in July, 1892 and it has become the largest professional body with over 120,000 members such as scientists, consultants, clinicians, educators etc.

Basically, the American Psychological Association is saddled with the responsibility of providing professional certifications to psychologists and assisting in the advancement of human well-being.

If a psychologist violates his or her ethical obligations but breaks no laws, the American Psychological Association could take action and dismiss or censure them. This is done so as to serve as deterrent to other psychologists and to help maintain the core values, objectives and mission of the professional organization.
