A. hot is the correct answer.
Hope it helps!
Answer:
Keq = 2k₃
Explanation:
We can solve this exercise using Newton's second one
F = m a
Where F is the eleatic force of the spring F = - k x
Since we have two springs, they are parallel or they are stretched the same distance by the object and the response force Fe is the same for the spring age due to having the same displacement
F + F = m a
k₃ x + k₃ x = m a
a = 2k₃ x / m
To find the effective force constant, suppose we change this spring to what creates the cuddly displacement
Keq = 2k₃
Here we have mass that moves at ceratin speed. This means that we have momentum. The law that must be observed is law of conservation of momentum. It states that momentum before certain event is equal to a momentum after that event. Here we have three masses so we can write this as:

Before the firecracker blows a coconut does not move, so left side is equal to 0:

We know that m1=m2=m and m3=2m. Also we are asked to find v3f so we can rewrite formula:

We must take in consideration that two parts with same mass do not move in same direction. The center of mass of these two parts moves between them at angle of 45° with respect to both south and west. The speed of a center of mass is:

This speed we can insert into formula for v3f:

We can see that part of a coconut with biggest mass has same speed as center of mass of two other parts. Negative sign shows that direction is opposite to direction of two pats. Biggest part moves towards north-east.
Answer:
v = 2.45 m/s
Explanation:
first we find the time taken during this motion by considering the vertical motion only and applying second equation of motion:
h = Vi t + (1/2)gt²
where,
h = height of cliff = 15 m
Vi = Initial Vertical Velocity = 0 m/s
t = time taken = ?
g = 9.8 m/s²
Therefore,
15 m = (0 m/s) t + (1/2)(9.8 m/s²)t²
t² = (15 m)/(4.9 m/s²)
t = √3.06 s²
t = 1.75 s
Now, we consider the horizontal motion. Since, we neglect air friction effects. Therefore, the horizontal motion has uniform velocity. Therefore,
s = vt
where,
s = horizontal distance covered = 4.3 m
v = original horizontal velocity = ?
Therefore,
4.3 m = v(1.75 s)
v = 4.3 m/1.75 s
<u>v = 2.45 m/s</u>
