Answer:

The amount of Kinetic energy added to the system is 2334.3J

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of object, m = 83 kg

Relative velocity of the object, v_{mb} = v_{m} - v_{o} = 15 m/s

After the explosion,

mass of the fragment is M and the other fragment, M' = 4M

Velocity of the lighter fragment after collision, v = 0 m/s

Now,

Mass of heavier fragment, M' = \frac{4}{5}m

Mass of lighter fragment, M' = \frac{1}{5}m

Let the velocity of the heavier fragment be v'.

Therefore by the law of conservation of momentum, we have:

Momentum of the object before collision = Momentum of the object after collision

mv_{mo} = Mv + M'v'

mv_{mo} = M.0 + \frac{4}{5}mv'

v' = \frac{5}{4}\times 15 = 18.75 m/s

Now, the change in Kinetic Energy gives the amount of Kinetic energy added to the system:

\Delta KE = KE_{final} - KE_{initial}

\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}Mv'^{2} - \frac{1}{2}mv_{mo}^{2}

Since, the lighter particle stops, it won't have any kinetic energy.

\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{4}{5}times 83\times {18.75}^{2} - \frac{1}{2}\times 83\times 15^{2}

\Delta KE = 11671.8 - 9337.5 = 2334.3 J

An electron with a speed of 1.2 × 107 m/s moves horizontally into a region where a constant vertical force of 5.2 × 10-16 N acts
Aliun [14]

Answer: 0.642mm

Explanation: F= force = 5.2×10^-16 N,

v = velocity of electron = 1.2×10^7 m/s,

m = mass of electron = 9.11×10^-31 kg.

We will assume the motion of the object to be of a constant acceleration, hence newton's laws of motion is applicable.

Recall that f = ma.

Where a = acceleration

This acceleration of vertical because it occurred when the object deflected.

5.2×10^-16 = 9.11×10^-31 (ay)

ay = 5.2×10^-16 / 9.11×10^-31

ay = 5.71×10^14 m/s²

For the horizontal motion, x = vt

Where x = horizontal distance = 0.019m and v is the velocity = 1.2×10^7 m/s,

By substituting the parameters, we have that

0.019 = 1.27×10^7 × t

t = 0.019 / 1.27 × 10^7

t = 1.5×10^-9 s

The vertical distance (y) is gotten by using the formulae below

y = ut + at²/2

but u = 0

y = at²/2

y = 5.71×10^14 × (1.5×10^-9)²/2

y = 0.00128475/2

y = 0.000642m = 0.642mm

mario62 [17]

Answer:

W = 290.7 dynes*cm

Explanation:

d = 1/5 cm = 0.2 cm

The force is in function of the depth x:

F(x) = 1000 * (1 + 2*x)^2

We can expand that as:

F(x) = 1000 * (1 + 4*x + 4x^2)

F(x) = 1000 + 4000*x + 4000*x^2

Work is defined as

W = F * d

Since we have non constant force we integrate

W = \int\limits^{0.2}_{0} {(1000 + 4000*x + 4000*x^2)} \, dx

W = [1000*x + 2000*x^2 + 1333*X^3] evaluated between 0 and 0.2

W = 1000*0.2 + 2000*0.2^2 + 1333*0.2^3 - 1000*0 - 2000*0^2 - 1333*0^3

W = 200 + 80 + 10.7 = 290.7 dynes*cm
