A vessel at rest at the origin of an xy coordinate system explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, of ma
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Explanation:

The momentum of the first piece = m v =- m x 31 i kg m/s in - x direction  direction

The momentum of the second piece = -m x 31 j kg m /s in Y - direction

Total momentum = - 31 m( i + j )

To conserve momentum , the third piece must have momentum equal to this

and opposite to it

So momentum of the third piece  = 3m x V = 31 m ( i +j )

V = 31/3 ( i + j ) =

Magnitude of velocity V = √2 x 31/ 3  = 14.6 m / s

Its direction will be towards the vector i + j  ie 45° from x - axis in positive direction

A rocket is launched from atop a 101 foot cliff with an initial velocity of 116 ft/s.
Katen [24]

Answer:

A. 16t2 -116t -101=0 B. 8.0s

Explanation:

Known parameters from the question:

Height of Cliff,h0 = 101ft

Velocity of rocket ,v= 116ft/s.

1.Substituting the above to the above formula we have;

h(t) = -16t2 + vt + h0

Since h(t) =0, it means the rocket is falling towards the ground, when it gets to the ground when it's at rest the height h(t) = 0m

{Note the rocket is launched from the height of the Cliff so that would be the initial height of the rocket,h0}

2.Substituting into h(t) = -16t2 + vt + h0

We have;

0 = -16t2 + 116t + 101=> 16t2 -116t -101=0

Using formula method for solving quadratic equation we have;

t = -(-116)+_√[(-116)^2 -( 4× 16 ×-101]/ (2× 16)

t = [116 +_(141.1382)]/32

t = (116 -141.1382)/32 or (116 +141.1382)/32

-0.786s or 8.036s

-0.8s or 8.0s to the nearest tenth.

Now time cannot be negative in real life situation hence the time is 8.0s

Note : the general equation of a quadratic equation with variable t is given below;

at2 + bt + c=0

Formula method for quadratic equation is :

t =( -b+_√[(b^2 -( 4× a×c)] ) / (2× a)

A stone is tied to a string and whirled at constant speed in a horizontal circle. The speed is then doubled without changing the
Tanya [424]

Answer:

Afterward the magnitude of the acceleration of the stone is four times as great

Explanation:

A stone tied to a string and whirled at a constant speed in a horizontal circle will have a centripetal acceleration given by

a = \frac{v^{2} }{r}

Where a is the centripetal acceleration

v is the speed

and r is the radius of the circle

Here, the radius of the circle is the length of the string.

Now, from the question

The speed is then doubled without changing the length of the string,

Let the new speed be v_{2}, that is

v_{2} = 2v

and without changing the length of the string means radius r is constant.

To determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the stone afterwards,

Let the new acceleration be a_{2}.

Then we can write that

a_{2} = \frac{v_{2}^{2}  }{r}

From

a = \frac{v^{2} }{r}

v = \sqrt{ar}

Recall that

v_{2} = 2v

∴ v_{2} = 2\sqrt{ar}

Now, we will put the value of v_{2} into

a_{2} = \frac{v_{2}^{2}  }{r}

Then,

a_{2} = \frac{(2\sqrt{ar}) ^{2}  }{r}

a_{2} = \frac{4ar }{r}

a_{2} = 4a

The new magnitude of the acceleration of the stone is four times the initial acceleration.

Hence,

Afterward the magnitude of the acceleration of the stone is four times as great
