An object, with mass 32 kg and speed 26 m/s relative to an observer, explodes into two pieces, one 5 times as massive as the oth

er; the explosion takes place in deep space. The less massive piece stops relative to the observer. How much kinetic energy is added to the system during the explosion, as measured in the observer's reference frame?

Answer:

\Delta K = 2164.053\,J

Explanation:

Let consider the observer as an inertial reference frame. The object is modelled after the Principle of Momentum Conservation:

(32\,kg)\cdot (26\,\frac{m}{s} ) = (5.333\,kg)\cdot (0\,\frac{m}{s} )+(26.665\,kg )\cdot v

The speed of the more massive piece is:

v = 31.202\,\frac{m}{s}

The kinetic energy added to the system is:

\Delta K = \frac{1}{2}\cdot [(5.333\,kg)\cdot (0\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}+(26.665\,kg )\cdot (31.202\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}]-\frac{1}{2}\cdot (32\,kg)\cdot (26\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}

\Delta K = 2164.053\,J

What is an example of a negative incentive for producers
Hatshy [7]

An example of a negative incentive for producers is the sharp increase in production costs. Producers are the one who manage the production costs and even the production budget. Anything that relates the production department is entitled to the management of production producers.

There is what we called positive and negative incentives and both of these can affect consumers and producers. Positive incentives are those situations which will give a certain outcome that will benefit the producers, for example, during the peak season there will be a high demand of products, and this gives the chance of producers to demand a higher price from the consumers, in this situation, there will be a big chance of increase sales.  A sharp increase in production costs is a loss for the producers.  If there will be an increase in production costs, the budget will be greatly affective and even though it is not a peak season, there’s a big chance also to increase prices which we know, consumers are not fond of.

What are the output waveforms of the following waves, after passing through a transformer?
Ber [7]
The output waveforms after passing through the transformer actually depend on the type of transformer used. It could either be a step-up transformer (steps voltage up), or a step-down transformer (steps voltage down). Both transformers have an output voltage in a form of a sine wave.
