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.

Plz help........................
hoa [83]

Answer:

The correct wording is

  1. Pressure increases with the depth of the fluid.
  2. A plane's engines produce thrust to push the plane forward.
  3. A fluid can be a liquid or a gas.
  4. A hydraulic device uses Pascal's principle to lift or move objects.
  5. lift is the upward force exerted on objects by fluids.

Explanation:

1. As you go deeper into a fluid,<em> there is more of it on top of you; </em>therefore, the pressure excreted on you is greater.

2. A plane's engines pushes the air in opposite direction, which according to newton's third law, produces necessary force to move the plane forward.

3.  <em>A fluid has no fixed shape,</em> and it deforms under the influence of external forces applied—liquid and gases fit into this definition.

4. Pascal's principle <em>says that pressure applied on one region of the fluid must equal pressure transmitted to another region of the same fluid</em>. This principle is used in a hydraulic device to exert forces on fluids to lift objects that would otherwise be difficult to move.

5. By definition, the upward force exerted by the fluids on objects is the lift.

Compute the density in g/cm^3 of a piece of metal that had mass of 0.485 kg and a volume of 52cm^3
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

9.3 g/cm³

Explanation:

First, convert kg to g:

0.485 kg × (1000 g / kg) = 485 g

Density is mass divided by volume:

D = (485 g) / (52 cm³)

D = 9.33 g/cm³

Rounding to two significant figures, the density is 9.3 g/cm³.
