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

After landing on an unexplored Klingon planet, Spock tests for the direction of the magnetic field by firing a beam of electrons
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Magnetic field is in south west direction .

Explanation:

Let us represent various direction by  i , j, k . i representing east , j representing north and k representing vertically upward direction .

magnetic field is represented vectorially as follows

B = B₀ ( - i - j )

In the first case velocity of electron

v = v k

Force = q ( v x B )

= -e [ vk x B₀ ( - i - j ) ]

= evB₀ ( j -i )

Direction of force is north -west .

In the second case velocity of electron

v = vj

Force = -e [ vj x B₀ ( - i - j ) ]

= - evB₀ k

force is downward

In the third case, velocity of electron

v = v( -j +i )

Force = -e [ v( -j +i ) x B₀ ( - i - j ) ]

= 2 evB₀ k

Force is upward.

The smallest shift you can reliably measure on the screen is about 0.2 grid units. This shift corresponds to the precision of po
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The distance is  d = 1.5 *10^{15} \ km

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

        The smallest shift is d = 0.2 \ grid \ units

Generally a grid unit is  \frac{1}{10} of  an arcsec

  This implies that  0.2 grid unit is  k =  \frac{0.2}{10} = 0.02  \  arc sec

The maximum distance at which a star can be located and still have a measurable parallax is mathematically represented as

           d =  \frac{1}{k}

substituting values

           d =  \frac{1}{0.02}

           d = 50 \ parsec

Note  1 \ parsec  \ \to 3.26 \ light \ year \ \to 3.086*10^{13} \ km

So  d = 50 * 3.08 *10^{13}

     d = 1.5 *10^{15} \ km

What occurs when an object travels in a curved path
babymother [125]
<span>When an object travels in a curved path, there must be a force acting toward the center of the circular trajectory. This force is called "centripetal force", and it cause an acceleration of the object, called "centripetal acceleration". The effect of this acceleration is that the velocity of the object changes in direction: however if the circular motion is uniform, the speed (=the magnitude of the velocity) does not change. In this case, the magnitude of the centripetal force is given by
</span>F=m \frac{v^2}{r}<span>
where m is the mass of the object, v its velocity, and r the radius of the circular path.</span>
