Answer:
A) 21.2 kg.m/s at 39.5 degrees from the x-axis
Explanation:
Mass of the smaller piece = 200g = 200/1000 = 0.2 kg
Mass of the bigger piece = 300g = 300/1000 = 0.3 kg
Velocity of the small piece = 82 m/s
Velocity of the bigger piece = 45 m/s
Final momentum of smaller piece = 0.2 × 82 = 16.4 kg.m/s
Final momentum of bigger piece = 0.3 × 45 = 13.5 kg.m/s
since they acted at 90oc to each other (x and y axis) and also momentum is vector quantity; then we can use Pythagoras theorems
Resultant momentum² = 16.4² + 13.5² = 451.21
Resultant momentum = √451.21 = 21.2 kg.m/s at angle 39.5 degrees to the x-axis ( tan^-1 (13.5 / 16.4)
I'm not sure what the alien Theory says or if there really is such a theory. If the theory says that aliens definitely exist and that they have visited Earth in the past then the theory is totally and completely without any kind of support. It's not scientific in any way because there is no evidence for such a claim. It may be thought to be probable but no solid evidence has ever been presented.
Tectonic plates interactions are of three different basic types: Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys. <span />
