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 .

Compare and contrast the shape and volume of each state of matter

Inessa [10]

Answer:

<em><u>Solid</u> is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter adapts to the shape of its container but varies only slightly in volume; and gas is the state in which matter expands to occupy the volume and shape of its container.</em>

An air balloon is moving upward at a constant speed of 3 m/s. Suddenly a passenger realizes that she left her camera on the grou

frosja888 [35]

Answer:t=0.3253 s

Explanation:

Given

speed of balloon is $u=3\ m/s$

speed of camera $u_1=20\ m/s$

Initial separation between camera and balloon is $d_o=5\ m$

Suppose after t sec of throw camera reach balloon then,

distance travel by balloon is

$s=ut$

$s=3\times t$

and distance travel by camera to reach balloon is

$s_1=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$s_1=20\times t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Now

$\Rightarrow s_1=5+s$

$\Rightarrow 20\times t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2 =5+3t$

$\Rightarrow 5t^2-17t+5=0$

$\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{17\pm \sqrt{17^2-4(5)(5)}}{2\times 5}$

$\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{17\pm 13.747}{10}$

$\Rightarrow t=0.3253\ s\ \text{and}\ t=3.07\ s$

There are two times when camera reaches the same level as balloon and the smaller time is associated with with the first one .

(b)When passenger catches the camera time is $t=0.3253\ s$

velocity is given by

$v=u+at$

$v=20-10\times 0.3253$

$v=16.747\ m/s$

and position of camera is same as of balloon so

Position is $=5+3\times 0.3253$

$=5.975\approx 6\ m$

In a certain time interval, natural gas with energy content of 19000 J was piped into a house during a winter day. In the same t

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The amount of heat transfer is 21,000J .

Explanation:

The equation form of thermodynamics is,

ΔQ=ΔU+W

Here, ΔQ is the heat transferred, ΔU is the change in internal energy, and W is the work done.

Substitute 0 J for W and 0 J for ΔU

ΔQ = 0J+0J

ΔQ = 0J

The change in internal energy is equal to zero because the temperature changes of the house didn’t change. The work done is zero because the volume did not change

The heat transfer is,

ΔQ=Q (in ) −Q (out )

Substitute 19000 J + 2000 J for Q(in) and 0 J for Q(out)

ΔQ=(19000J+2000J)−(0J)

=21,000J

Thus, the amount of heat transfer is 21,000J .

Suppose the coefficient of static friction between a quarter and the back wall of a rocket car is 0.330. At what minimum rate wo

Helga [31]

Answer: $3.23 m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given

$\mu_s =0.330$

Frictional Force is balanced by force due to car acceleration

Frictional force $F_s$

$F_s=ma_{min}$

$\mu_sN=ma_{min}$

$\mu_s\cdot mg=ma_{min}$

$a_{min}=\mu_s \cdot g=0.330\times 9.8=3.23 m/s^2$
