Answer:

The heavier piece acquired 2800J of energy.

Explanation:

Let the velocity of the first piece be v1 and that of the second piece be v1 and also let the masses be m1 and m2 respectively.

m2 = 2m1

From the principles of conservation of momentum

m1v1 = m2v2

m1v1 = 2m1v2

Dividing through by m1

That is v1 = 2v2

v2 = 1/2v1

Total kinetic energy = 8400J

1/2m1v1² + 1/2m2v2² = 8400

1/2m1v1² + 1/2(2m1) × (1/2v1)² = 8400

1/2m1v1² + 1/4m1v1² = 8400

Let 1/2m1v1 = K1

K1 + 1/2K1 = 8400

3/2K1 = 8400

K1 = 8400× 2/3 = 5600J

K2 = 8400 – 5600 = 2800J

Answer:

The heavier piece acquired 2800 J  kinetic energy

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum:

0 = M₁v₁ - M₂v₂

M₁v₁ = M₂v₂

let the second piece be the heavier mass, then

M₁v₁ = (2M₁)v₂

v₁  = 2v₂ and v₂ = ¹/₂ v₁

From the principle of conservation of kinetic energy:

¹/₂ K.E₁ + ¹/₂ K.E₂ = 8400 J

¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₂ (2M₁)(¹/₂v₁)² = 8400

¹/₂ M₁(v₁)² + ¹/₄M₁(v₁)² = 8400

K.E₁ + ¹/₂K.E₁ = 8400

Now, we determine K.E₁ and note that K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁

1.5 K.E₁ = 8400

K.E₁ = 8400/1.5

K.E₁ = 5600 J

K.E₂ = ¹/₂K.E₁ = 0.5*5600 J = 2800 J

Therefore, the heavier piece acquired 2800 J  kinetic energy

describe the relationship between the direction of the velocity vector and the direction of the acceleration for a body moving i
Xelga [282]

Answer:

a = v²/r

Explanation:

The acceleration of a body moving in a circular path is known as the centripetal acceleration. This is the acceleration of a body that keeps the body within the circular path. It is written in terms of the linear velocity v and the radius of the circle of rotation as shown;

a = v²/r where

v is the linear velocity

r is the radius

a is the centripetal acceleration

If the star Sirius emits 23 times more energy than the Sun, why does the Sun appear brighter in the sky?
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

As b ∝ (L/r²) and

the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years

and

the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years

hence,

the Sun appear brighter in the sky

Explanation:

The brightness (b) is directly proportional to the Luminosity of the star (L) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the star and the observer (r).

thus, mathematically,

b ∝ (L/r²)

now,

given

L for sirius is 23 times more than the sun i.e 23L

now,

the distance of the sun from the earth is 0.00001581 light years

and

the distance of the Sirius from the earth is 8.6 light years

thus,

using the the relation between conclude that the value of brightness for the Sirius comes very very low as compared to the value for brightness for the Sun.

hence, the sun appears brighter

A machine carries a 100kg cargo to a boat at a rate of 10m/s2. The distance between the ground to the boat is 50ft. If the machi
klasskru [66]

Answer:

50.8 watt

Explanation:

we know that P=W÷t

W=F.S           S-->distance=50 ft= 15.24 m

F=ma

=100×10=1000 N

SO W= 1000×15.24

        =15240 J

NOW

P=W÷t          t=5 mints = 5×60=300 sec

P=15240÷300

P=50.8 watt
