A dinner plate falls vertically to the floor and breaks up into three pieces, which slide horizontally along the floor. Immediat

ely after the impact, a 320-g piece moves along the x-axis with a speed of 2.00 m/s and a 355-g piece moves along the y-axis with a speed of 1.50 m/s. The third piece has a mass of 100 g. In what direction relative to the +x-axis does the third piece move?
(a) 39.8º from the +x-axis
(b) 36.9° from the +x-axis
(c) 39.9° from the +x-axis
(d) 216.9° from the +x-axis
(e) 219.8° from the +X-axis

Answer:

M1 Vx1 + M2 Vx2 + M3 Vx3 = 0     conservation of momentum in x direction

Vx3 = -(M1 Vx1 + M2 Vx2 ) / M3

Vx3 = - 320 * 2 / 100 = -6.4 m/s      M2 has no x-component of momentum

Likewise:

Vy3 = -(M1 Vy1 + M2 Vy2 ) / M3

Vy3 = - 355 * 1.5 / 100 = -5.33 m/s

tan theta = -5.33 / -6.4 = .833    where theta is in the third quadrant and measured from the negative x-axis

theta = 39.8 deg

180 + 39.8 = 219.8     from the positive x-axis

Choose the sequence of energy forms that best fits each item.
levacccp [35]

Answer:

1. chemical energy --> electrical energy --> light energy

2. Electrical Energy --> Mechanical Energy

3. Electrical Energy --> Heat Energy

4. Chemical Energy --> Thermal Energy  --> Mechanical Energy

5. Nuclear Energy --> Light energy and thermal energy

6. Mechanical Energy --> Electric Energy

7. Chemical Energy --> Electrical Energy --> Sound Energy

8. Mechanical Energy --> Sound Energy

Explanation:

1.<u>FLASHLIGHT</u>:

chemical energy --> electrical energy --> light energy

The chemical energy from the cell batteries is converted to electrical energy, which is used to produce the light energy in form of flashlight.

2.<u>ELECTRIC SAW</u>:

Electrical Energy --> Mechanical Energy

The electrical energy from the socket is converted to the mechanical energy used to run the saw blade.

3.<u>TOASTER</u>:

Electrical Energy --> Heat Energy

The electrical energy from the socket is converted to the heat energy (thermal energy) used in browning the bread.

4.<u>GAS POWERED SCOOTER</u>:

Chemical Energy --> Thermal Energy  --> Mechanical Energy

The chemical energy from fuel, such as petrol is converted to heat (thermal energy) in the engine by the process of combustion. This heat is then used to do work by conversion into mechanical energy, through piston movement, which in turn moves the shaft and the scooter.

5.<u>THE SUN</u>:

Nuclear Energy --> Light energy and thermal energy

The nuclear reactions on Sun provide nuclear energy which is converted into light and thermal energy that reaches us on earth.

6.<u>WIND TURBINE</u>:

Mechanical Energy --> Electric Energy

The mechanical energy is provided by wind when it rotates the blade of turbine. This is then converted to electrical energy b the turbine.

7.<u>IPOD</u>:

Chemical Energy --> Electrical Energy --> Sound Energy

The chemical energy i supplied by the battery of ipod, which is converted to electrical energy and that electrical energy is used to produce sound by ipod.

8.<u>SPEAKER VIBRATES</u>

Mechanical Energy --> Sound Energy

The mechanical energy due to vibration produces sound energy.

What's the general relationship between mass and gravitational force ?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Gravity is the attraction between two objects that have mass. The amount of gravity is directly proportional to the amount of mass of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects. Gravity is a force that increases the velocity of falling objects - they accelerate.
