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.)

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 .

3. A certain wire, 3 m long, stretches by 1.2 mm when under tension of 200 N. By how much does

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The extension of the second wire is $e_2 = 0.0024 \ m = 2.4 mm$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the wire is $L = 3 \ m$

The elongation of the wire is $e = 1.2mm = \frac{1.2}{1000} = 0.0012 m$

The tension is $F = 200 \ N$

The length of the second wire is $L_2 = 6 \ m$

Generally the Young's modulus(Y) of this material is

$Y = \frac{stress}{strain }$

Where $stress = \frac{F}{A}$

Where A is the area which is evaluated as

$A = \pi r^2$

and $strain = \frac{extention}{length} = \frac{e}{L}$

So

$Y = \frac{\frac{F}{\pi r^2 } }{ \frac{e}{L} }$

Since the wire are of the same material Young's modulus(Y) is constant

So we have

$\frac{F * L }{r^2 e} = \pi * Y = constant$

$F * L = constant * r^2 e$

Now the ration between the first and the second wire is

$\frac{F_1}{F_2} * \frac{L_1}{L_2} = \frac{r*2_1}{r^2} * \frac{e_1}{e_2}$

Since tension , radius are constant

We have

$\frac{L_1}{L_2} = \frac{e_1}{e_2}$

substituting values

$\frac{3}{6} = \frac{0.0012}{e_2}$

$0.5 e_2 = 0.0012$

$e_2 = \frac{ 0.0012 }{0.5}$

$e_2 = 0.0024 \ m = 2.4 mm$

Monochromatic light of wavelength, lambda, is traveling in air. The light then strikes a thin film having an index of refraction

kumpel [21]

Answer:

The correct option is H

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The index of refraction of coating is $n_1$

The index of refraction of material is $n_2$

Generally the condition for constructive for a thin film interference is mathematically represented

$2 * t = [ m + \frac{1}{2}] \frac{\lambda}{n_1 }$

Here t represents the thickness

For minimum thickness m = 0

So

$2 * t =0 + \frac{1}{2}\frac{\lambda}{n_1 }$

=> $t =\frac{\lambda}{4n_1 }$
