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

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

Which of the following is the smallest conceivable amount of time that could pass between a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse .
pickupchik [31]
The time required for a moon to orbit around the earth is about 27-28 days

In order for lunar eclipse to occur the line that should be formed is:
Sun-Earth-Moon
because earth is making shade on moon

in order for solar eclipse to occur the line is now:
Sun-Moon-Earth
because moon is making a shade on earth (blocking sun = solar eclipse)

Therefore moon needs to make half of its orbit to go from behind the earth to in front of the earth.

28/2 = 14

Answer:

The racetrack is 996.7 meters long

Explanation:

Convert 251km/h to km/s (kilometers per second)

3600 seconds in an hour, so:

251/3600 = 0.0697km/s

Convert km/s to m/s (meters per second)

1000 meters in a kilometer, so:

0.0697*1000 = 69.7m/s

Find length of racetrack:

69.7m/s*14.3s = 996.7m

If the racer travels 69.7 meters in one second and it takes 14.3 seconds to complete a lap, the racetrack is 996.7 meters long.

A soccer ball is kicked At 8m/s. It lands on the ground after being in the air for .85 seconds. At what angle is it kicked?
SpyIntel [72]

If ball remains in air for total time T = 0.85 s

this is also known as time of flight

In order to find the time of flight we can use kinematics

\Delta Y = v_y*t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

so for complete motion its displacement in y direction will be zero

0 = v_y* 0.85 + \frac{1}{2}(-9.8)(0.85^2)

0 = v_y*0.85 - 3.54

v_y = 4.165 m/s

now we know that net velocity of the ball is 8 m/s

while is y direction component we got is vy = 4.165 m/s

now by component method we can say

v_y = v sin\theta

4.165 = 8 sin\theta

\theta = sin^{-1}\frac{4.165}{8}

\theta = 31.4^0

so it is projected at an angle of 31.4 degree above horizontal
