A 9-kg object is at rest. Suddenly, it explodes and breaks into two pieces. The mass of one piece is 6 kg and the other is a 3-k

g piece. Which one of the following statements concerning these two pieces is correct?
a. The speed of the 6-kg piece will be one eighth that of the 3-kg piece.
b. The speed of the 3-kg piece will be one fourth that of the 6-kg piece.
c. The speed of the 6-kg piece will be one forth that of the 3-kg piece.
d. The speed of the 3-kg piece will be one half that of the 6-kg piece.
e. The speed of the 6-kg piece will be one half that of the 3-kg piece.

Answer:

e).

Explanation:

Assuming no external forces acting during the instant of the explosion, total momentum must be conserved.

As the object was initially at rest, the initial momentum is zero, which means that after the explosion, total momentum must add to zero too.

Let's call m₁ = 3 kg-piece and m₂= 6 kg-piece.

⇒ m₁*v₁ + m₂*v₂ = 0

⇒ 3kg* v₁ = -6kg*v₂

⇒ 6/3 = 2 = v₁/v₂ ⇒ v₂/v₁ = 1/2 (in magnitude)

v₂ (being the speed of the 6-kg piece) = 1/2 * v₁ (speed of thr 3-kg piece).

So, we conclude in that  the statement e) is the one that is true.

Crate is being pushed a constant velocity. What forces are being used?
noname [10]
Since the crate is moving at constant velocity the net force on the crate is zero. Since the crate is moving we are referring to the coefficient of dynamic friction. R is the reaction and is equal to the weight of the block mg. The effort is now doubled so the forces on the block are not balance

A bat hits a 0.150 kg baseball for 0.0880s. The balls velocity changes from 41.0 m/s left to 37.0 m/s right. How much force was
Alenkasestr [34]
From Newton's second law of motion,

F=ma
Where, F = applied force, m = mass (=0.15 kg), a = acceleration.

a= Δv/t, Δv= Change in velocity, t = time
Therefore
a = (41-37)/0.088 = 45.45 m/s^2
Then,

F = 0.15*45.45 = 6.82 N

New technology is important to the development of theories because it
RSB [31]
Different theories in science rely on the current available knowledge that has been obtained through a certain way of data collection/that has used certain technology to obtain such data. With new technology, new datasets can be obtained that perhaps are not in line with previous theories. By improving technology, new datasets can be obtained and through this theories can be advanced, improved and developed.
