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.

Determine the projection (magnitude and sign), or component, of vector v1 along the direction of vector v2. Your answer could be
professor190 [17]

Answer:

- 1.07 ft

Explanation:

V1 = (-5, 7, 2)

V2 = (3, 1, 2)

Projection of v1 along v2, we use the following formula

=\frac{\overrightarrow{V1}.\overrightarrow{V2}}{V2}

So, the dot product of V1 and V2 is = - 5 (3) + 7 (1) + 2 (2) = -15 + 7 + 4 = -4

The magnitude of vector V2 is given by

= \sqrt{3^{2}+1^{2}+2^{2}}=3.74

So, the projection of V1 along V2 = - 4 / 3.74 = - 1.07 ft

Thus, the projection of V1 along V2 is - 1.07 ft.

so we need to find the direction of v2

A circuit has a current of 2.4 A. The voltage is increased to 4 times its original value, while the resistance stays the same. H
9966 [12]

Answer:

Resistance will become 4 times the previous value

Explanation:

We have given current in the circuit i = 2.4 A

According to ohm's law current in the circuit is given by I=\frac{V}{R}

So 2.4=\frac{V}{R}............eqn 1

Now voltage is increased to 4 times so new voltage = 4 V

And current in the circuit is same as 2.4 A

We have to fond the resistance so that after increasing voltage current will be same

So 2.4=\frac{4V}{R_{unknown}}..........eqn 2

Dividing eqn 1 and 2

1=\frac{V}{R}\times \frac{R_{unkown}}{4V}

R_{unknown}=4R

So resistance will become 4 times the previous value
