A bomb of mass 4 kg, initially at rest, explodes breaking into two fragments of 1 kg and 3 kg. Which one of the following statem

ents concerning the fragments after the explosion is correct? Group of answer choices The two fragments may fly off at right angles. The 3 kg fragment will have three times the speed of the 1 kg fragment. The two fragments may have the same speed, in exactly opposite directions. The two fragments may fly off in the same direction. The 1 kg fragment will have three times the speed of the 3kg fragment.

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.

Using the graph predict how many paper clipsa 7.5 v battery would pick up for both the 25 coil electromagnet and the 50 coil ele
enyata [817]

The graph between the strength of the magnet(number of paper clips picked) and battery is approximately a straight line.

For 25 coil, with increase of 1.5 V battery voltage, the electromagnet picks about 5 more clips. So, for a 7.5 V battery, it would pick about 30 paper clips.

For 50 coil, with increase of 1.5 V battery voltage, the electromagnet picks about 15 more clips. So, for a 7.5 V battery, it would pick about 30 paper clips.

6. A 145-g baseball moving 30.5 m/s strikes a stationary 5.75-kg brick resting on small rollers so it moves without significant
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

momentum of baseball before collision

mass x velocity

= .145 x 30.5

= 4.4225 kg m /s

momentum of brick after collision

= 5.75 x 1.1

= 6.325 kg m/s

Applying conservation of momentum

4.4225 + 0 = .145 x v + 6.325 , v is velocity of baseball after collision.

v = - 13.12 m / s

b )

kinetic energy of baseball  before collision = 1/2 mv²

= .5 x .145 x 30.5²

= 67.44 J

Total kinetic energy before collision = 67.44 J

c )

kinetic energy of baseball after collision = 1/2 x .145 x 13.12²

= 12.48 J .

 kinetic energy of brick after collision

= .5 x 5.75 x 1.1²

= 3.48 J

Total kinetic energy after collision

= 15.96 J

3. When a person is outside of the system and they add energy to the
NISA [10]

Answer:

We show added energy to a system as +Q or -W

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that, in an isolated system, energy can neither be created nor be destroyed;

Energy is added to the internal energy of a system as either work energy or heat energy as follows;

ΔU = Q - W

Therefore, when energy is added as heat energy to a system, we show the energy as positive Q (+Q), when energy is added to the system in the form of work, we show the energy as minus W (-W).
