An object, with mass 83 kg and speed 15 m/s relative to an observer, explodes into two pieces, one 4 times as massive as the oth

er; the explosion takes place in deep space. The less massive piece stops relative to the observer. How much kinetic energy is added to the system during the explosion, as measured in the observer's reference frame

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

What is a hydraulic system​
Simora [160]

Explanation:

Hydraulic systems use the pump to push hydraulic fluid through the system to create fluid power. The fluid passes through the valves and flows to the cylinder where the hydraulic energy converts back into mechanical energy. The valves help to direct the flow of the liquid and relieve pressure when needed

How does lemon produce electricity
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Below!

Explanation:

The citric acid in the lemon acts as an electrolyte, a solution that conducts electricity. The zinc nail sheds electrons as electrically charged ions into the acid (a process called “Oxidation” because the material loses electrons). ... The average lemon output is . 9 volts at .
