Answer: length or color
Explanation: length or color
Explanation:
(a)
The initial vertical velocity is 13 m/s. At the maximum height, the vertical velocity is 0 m/s.
v = at + v₀
0 = (-9.8) t + 13
t ≈ 1.33 s
(b)
Immediately prior to the explosion, the ball is at the maximum height. Here, the vertical velocity is 0 m/s, and the horizontal velocity is constant at 25 m/s.
v = √(vx² + vy²)
v = √(25² + 0²)
v = 25 m/s
(c)
Momentum is conserved before and after the explosion.
In the x direction:
m vx = ma vax + mb vbx
m (25) = (⅓ m) (0) + (⅔ m) (vbx)
25m = (⅔ m) (vbx)
25 = ⅔ vbx
vbx = 37.5 m/s
And in the y direction:
m vy = ma vay + mb vby
m (0) = (⅓ m) (0) + (⅔ m) (vby)
0 = (⅔ m) (vby)
vby = 0 m/s
Since the vertical velocity hasn't changed, and since Fragment B lands at the same height it was launched from, it will have a vertical velocity equal in magnitude and opposite in direction as its initial velocity.
vy = -13 m/s
And the horizontal velocity will stay constant.
vx = 37.5 m/s
The velocity vector is (37.5 i - 13 j) m/s. The magnitude is:
v = √(vx² + vy²)
v = √(37.5² + (-13)²)
v ≈ 39.7 m/s
I'm going to assume that the 10.97 km/s is the velocity at the end of the cannon.
vi = 0
d = 220m
vf = 10.97 km/s = 10970 m/s
a = ???
vf^2 = vi^2 + 2*a*d
10970^2 = 0 + 2*a*220
10970^2 / 440 = a You are right this is a pretty big number.
2.73 * 10^5 = a
