A 58 g firecracker is at rest at the origin when it explodes into three pieces. The first, with mass 12 g , moves along the x ax

is at 37 m/s in the positive direction. The second, with mass 22 g , moves along the y axis at 34 m/s in the positive direction. Find the velocity of third piece.

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply conservation of momentum law in vector form to solve the problem .

Initial momentum = 0

momentum of 12 g piece

= .012 x 37 i since it moves along x axis .

= .444 i

momentum of 22 g

= .022 x 34 j

= .748 j

Let momentum of third piece = p

total momentum

= p + .444 i + .748 j

so

applying conservation law of momentum

p + .444 i + .748 j  = 0

p = - .444 i -  .748 j  

magnitude of p

= √ ( .444² + .748² )

= .87 kg m /s

mass of third piece = 58 - ( 12 + 22 )

= 24 g = .024 kg

if v be its velocity

.024 v = .87

v = 36.25 m / s .

Suppose a cup of coï¬ee is at 100 degrees Celsius at time t = 0, it is at 70 degrees at t = 10 minutes, and it is at 50 degrees
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

T ambient = 10 degrees

Explanation:

Using Newton's Law of Cooling:

T(t) = Tamb + (Ti - Tamb)*e^(-kt)  ..... Eq 1

Ti = 100

We have two points to evaluate the above equation as follows:

T = 70 @ t = 10 using Eq 1  

70 = Tamb + (100 - Tamb)*e^(-10k)   ... Eq 2

T = 50 @ t = 20 using Eq 1

50 = Tamb + (100 - Tamb)*e^(-20k)   ... Eq 3

Solving the above Eq 2 and Eq 3 simultaneously:

Using Eq 2:

(70 - Tamb) / (100 - Tamb) = e^(-10k)  

Squaring both sides we get:

((70 - Tamb) / (100 - Tamb))^2 = e^(-20k)   .... Eq 4

Substitute Eq 4 into Eq 3

50 = Tamb + (100 - Tamb)*((70 - Tamb) / (100 - Tamb))^2

After simplification:

50 = (Tamb (100-Tamb) + (70-Tamb)^2) / (100 - Tamb)

5000 - 50*Tamb = 4900 - 40*Tamb

Tamb = 100 / 10 = 10 degrees

Which has more thermal energy: lake or a cup of hot chocolate?
lawyer [7]
Though the hot cocoa would have a higher temperature, the lake would have more thermal energy because it has more molecules with a greater total internal energy.
