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.

A skier leaves the end of a horizontal ski jump at 23.0 m/s and falls through a vertical distance of 3.45 m before landing.
Len [333]

Explanation:

Given

Velocity v = 23.0m/s

Distance S = 3.45m

Required

Time it will take the skier to reach the ground;

Using the equation of motion;

S = ut + 1/2gt²

3.45 = 23t + 1/2(9.8)t²

3.45 = 23t + 4.9t²

4.9t²+23t-3.45 = 0

Factorize;

t = -23 ±√23²-4(4.9)(-3.45)/2(4.9)

t = -23 ±√529+67.62/9.8

t = -23±√596.62/9.8

t = -23±24.43/9.8

t = 1.43/9.8

t = 0.146 secs

Hence take the skier 0.146 secs to reach the ground.

b) Horizontal distance covered is the range;

Range = U√2H/g

Range = 23√2(3.45)/9.8

Range = 23√6.9/9.8

Range = 23√0.7041

Range = 23(0.8391)

Range = 19.29m

Hence the horizontal distance travelled in air is 19.29m

What is the magnitude of vector K ?
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Vector K = 8 m

Explanation:

The given figure shows a right angle triangle JKL. It is given that :

vector L = 10 m

vector J = 6 m

We have to find vector k. We can find it by using Pythagoras theorem. According to this theorem, the sum of squares of perpendicular and the base is equal to the square of the longest side.

L^2=K^2+J^2

K^2=L^2-J^2

K^2=(100)^2-(6)^2

K = 8 m

Hence, the magnitude of vector K is 8 m.

How has psychology developed from its pre­scientific roots in early understandings of mind and body to the beginnings of modern
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

By the experiences, ideas of origin, power and modern empiricism.  

Explanation:

The route of the psychology has been recorded by the history of India, Middle East, Europe and China. The Confucius and Buddha focused on the ideas origin and the power. The ancient Hebrews, Aristotle and Pluto tells the idea whether the body with the mind is connected or it is distinct and this connection or distinct idea  is the result of experiences.

Locke offers his theories about the mind that mind as the blank state, on which the experience writes. The modern empiricism idea has been developed by Bacon and Locke
