A stationary 6-kg shell explodes into three pieces. One 4.0 kg piece moves horizontally along the negative x-axis. The other two

fragments, each 1.0 kg, move in directions that make 60o angle above and below the positive x-axis and their speeds are 60 m/s each. What is the velocity of the 4.0-kg fragment

4 0

Answer:

-15 m/s

Explanation:

The computation of the velocity of the 4.0 kg fragment is shown below:

For this question, we use the correlation of the momentum along with horizontal x axis

Given that

Weight of stationary shell = 6 kg

Other two fragments each = 1.0 kg

Angle = 60

Speed = 60 m/s

Based on the above information, the velocity = v is

1\times 60 \times cos\ 60 + 1\times 60 \times cos\ 60 - 4\ v = 0

\frac{60}{2} + \frac{60}{2} - 4\ v = 0

v = \frac{60}{4}

= -15 m/s

The Electric Field 9.0m from a +25μC charge is 
salantis [7]

The electric field intensity generated by a single point charge is given by

E(r)=k\frac{q}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge


In this problem, the charge is q=25 \mu C=25 \cdot 10^{-6} C and we are asked to calculate the field at distance r=9.0 m, so the electric field is

E(9.0 m)=(8.99 \cdot 10^9 Nm^2C^{-2})\frac{25 \cdot 10^{-6} C}{(9 m)^2}=2775 V/m

The resistance of an electric heater is 50 Ω when connected to 120 V. How much energy does it use during 15 min of operation?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

I = V/R = 120 V/ 50 Ω = 2.4 A

P = VI = 120(2.4) = 288 W = 288 J/s

288 J/s (15 min(60s / min)) = 259,200 J

or the electric company would charge for

288 W / (1000 W/kW)•(15/60) hr = 0.072 kW•hr

At $0.20 / kW•hr, that would be under 1½ cents

What steps are involved in converting potential energy to kinetic energy
melomori [17]

Answer:

Decreasing in altitude and increasing in velocity

Explanation:

The formula for potential energy is:

E_p = mgh

where m is mass, g is constant gravitational energy and h is the potential altitude.

The formula for kinetic energy is:

E_k = mv^2/2

where v is the velocity

Since m,g are constant, to convert from potential energy to kinetic energy, h must decreases while v increases. For example dropping an object from a height.
