Kinetic energy has nothing to do with anything other than motion of the particle.
When a particle with velocity v collides another particle(suppose it is at rest for simplication), assuming that there is perfectly elastic collision between them, the velocity of particle which was at rest becomes mv/M ( assuming mass of particle in motion to be m and at rest to be M) from convervation of linear momentum. And all this transfer of energy happens in a fraction of seconds which is not visible to naked eyes.
Hence 1st option is correct!
Answer: understandable have a nice day
Explanation:
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
