Answer: The 1 kg fragment will have three times the speed of the 3kg fragment.

Explanation:Here for the bomb, its chemical energy gets converted into the mechanical energy.

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the two bodies will have equal momentum and to satisfy this condition the lighter mass will have the higher velocity.

∵ momentum, p = mass × velocity

∴The 1 kg fragment will have three times the speed of the 3kg fragment.

You are in your car at rest when the traffic light turns green. You place your coffee cup on the horizontal dash and hit the gas
umka21 [38]

Answer:

(d) Negative.

Explanation:

let's test each at a time.

(a) It can't be 0, because cup would slide back other wise.

(b) Positive, well if forward is positive, than the work done against the forward acceleration must be negative , so it can't be positive.

(c) Equal to non-conservative work done by the car's engine.

well no, because work done by car's engine dosen't go all of it into getting car to move, so it can't be that.

(d) negative, this look like it, because work that friction does must be nagative to counteract positive thrust of car which is positive and in forward direction.

(d) this can't be true.

So the answer is (d) negative.
