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 .

A proton traveling at 17.6° with respect to the direction of a magnetic field of strength 3.28 mT experiences a magnetic force o
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

a) The proton's speed is 5.75x10⁵ m/s.

b) The kinetic energy of the proton is 1723 eV.  

Explanation:

a) The proton's speed can be calculated with the Lorentz force equation:

F = qv \times B = qvBsin(\theta)     (1)          

Where:

F: is the force = 9.14x10⁻¹⁷ N

q: is the charge of the particle (proton) = 1.602x10⁻¹⁹ C

v: is the proton's speed =?

B: is the magnetic field = 3.28 mT

θ: is the angle between the proton's speed and the magnetic field = 17.6°

By solving equation (1) for v we have:

v = \frac{F}{qBsin(\theta)} = \frac{9.14 \cdot 10^{-17} N}{1.602\cdot 10^{-19} C*3.28 \cdot 10^{-3} T*sin(17.6)} = 5.75 \cdot 10^{5} m/s

Hence, the proton's speed is 5.75x10⁵ m/s.

b) Its kinetic energy (K) is given by:

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Where:

m: is the mass of the proton = 1.67x10⁻²⁷ kg

K = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = \frac{1}{2}1.67 \cdot 10^{-27} kg*(5.75 \cdot 10^{5} m/s)^{2} = 2.76 \cdot 10^{-16} J*\frac{1 eV}{1.602 \cdot 10^{-19} J} = 1723 eV  

Therefore, the kinetic energy of the proton is 1723 eV.

I hope it helps you!

Suppose a police officer is 1/2 mile south of an intersection, driving north towards the intersection at 30 mph. at the same tim
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

In triangle ABC , using Pythagorean theorem

BC = sqrt(AB² + AC²)

r = sqrt(y² + x²)                                eq-1

taking derivative both side relative to "t"

dr/dt = (1/(2 sqrt(y² + x²) ) ) (2 y (dy/dt) + 2 x (dx/dt))

dr/dt = (1/(2 sqrt(0.5² + 0.5²) ) ) (2 (0.5) (dy/dt) + 2 (0.5) (dx/dt))

dr/dt = (1/(2 sqrt(0.5² + 0.5²) ) ) ( v₁ + v₂)

15= (1/(2 sqrt(0.5² + 0.5²) ) ) ( - 30 + v₂)

v₂ = 51.2 m/s

Why is knowing the direction of the force important?
vodomira [7]
Knowing the direction of a force is important because it helps someone know the motion of the object. if you use a free body diagram, then it becomes easy to see all the forces being applied to an object. if there is more force going one way, the object is accelerating in that direction. if all the forces cancel each other out, then the object is at a constant speed or is at rest.
