A shell of mass m and speed v explodes into two identical fragments. If the shell was moving horizontally (the positive x direct

ion) with respect to Earth, and one of the fragments is subsequently moving vertically with speed v, find the velocity ' of the other fragment immediately following the explosion. (Use the following as necessary: v.)

4 0

Answer:

The velocity of the other fragment immediately following the explosion is v .

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of original shell , m .

Velocity of shell , + v .

Now , the particle explodes into two half parts , i.e  \dfrac{m}{2} .

Since , no eternal force is applied in the particle .

Therefore , its momentum will be conserved .

So , Final momentum = Initial momentum

mv=\dfrac{mv}{2}+\dfrac{mu}{2}\\\\u=v

The velocity of the other fragment immediately following the explosion is v .

Which change would decrease the total current, I, flowing through this circuit?
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

A. Increasing the voltage of the battery

Explanation:

The relationship between voltage, V, current, I and resistance, R, is given as follows;

V = I × R

∴ I = V/R

From the above relationship, the current flowing in the circuit is directly proportional to the voltage of the battery, and inversely proportional to the resistance, 'R', of the circuit

Therefore, increasing the voltage, 'V', of the battery, increases the total current, 'I', flowing in the circuit.

A meteor moving 468 km per minute traveling in a south-to-north direction passed near Earth in 2013. Does this statement describ
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

this statement describes meteor's velocity,

because velocity is a vector quantity which has both magnitude as well as a specific direction and here the meteor's direction is specified in the statement hence we conclude that this statement describes meteor's velocity as well as speed too.

A suspension bridge has twin towers that are 1300 feet apart. Each tower extends 180 feet above the road surface. The cables are
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

y = 17.04 ft

Explanation:

Since the cable touches the road at the mid point of two towers

so here we have vertex at that mid point taken to be origin

now the maximum height on the either side is given as

y = 180 ft

horizontal distance of the tower from mid point is given as

x = \frac{1300}{2} = 650 ft

now from the equation of parabola we have

y = k x^2

180 = k(650^2)

k = 4.26 \times 10^{-4}

now we have

y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})x^2

now we need to find the height at distance of 200 ft from center

so we have

y = (4.26 \times 10^{-4})(200^2)

y = 17.04 ft

Can someone explain each of these?
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Machine - A device consisting of fixed and moving parts that modifies mechanical energy and transmits it in a more useful form.

Mechanical advantage - Mechanical advantage is a measure of the force amplification achieved by using a tool, mechanical device or machine system.

Inclined Plane - A plane set at an angle to the horizontal, especially a simple machine used to raise or lower a load by rolling or sliding.

Wedge - A piece of material, such as metal or wood, thick at one edge and tapered to a thin edge at the other for insertion in a narrow crevice, used for splitting, tightening, securing, or levering.

Screw - A cylindrical rod incised with one or more helical or advancing spiral threads, as a lead screw or worm screw.

Lever - A simple machine consisting of a rigid bar pivoted on a fixed point and used to transmit force, as in raising or moving a weight at one end by pushing down on the other.
