Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

One fragment is 7 times heavier than the other

Let one fragment mass be M

Let this has a velocity v

And the other 7M

And this a velocity V

Initially the fragment is at rest u = 0

Applying conservation of momentum

Momentum is given as p=mv

Initial momentum = final momentum

Po = Pf

(M+7M) × 0 = 7M •V − Mv

0 = 7M•V - Mv

Divide both sides by M

0 = 7V -v

v = 7V

Since friction decelerates the masses to zero speed, we can calculate the NET work on the individual blocks and relate this quantity to the change in kinetic energy of each block

The workdone by the 7M mass is

Distance moved by 7M mass is 6.8m, Then, d =6.8m

W = fr × d

Where fr = µkN

When N=W =mg, where m=7M

N= 7Mg

fr = −µk × 7mg

Then, W(7m) = −7µk•Mg×d

W(7m) = −7µk•Mg×6.8

W(7m) = −47.6 µk•Mg

Then, same procedure,

Let distance move by the small mass be m

Work done by M mass

W(m) = −µk•Mg×d'

Since it is a wordone by friction, that is why we have a negative sign.

Using conservation of energy

Work done by 7M mass is equal to work done by M mass

W(7m) = W(m)

−47.6 µk•Mg = −µk•Mg×d

Then, M, g and µk cancels out

We are left with

-46.7 = -d

Then, d = 46.7m

Answer:

Distance the lighter fragment slides before stopping= 333.2 m

Explanation:

Gravitational acceleration = g

Mass of the lighter fragment = m

Mass of the heavier fragment = 7m

Velocity of the lighter fragment after the explosion = V1

Velocity of the heavier fragment after the explosion = V2

The object is at rest before the explosion hence the total momentum of the system is zero.

mV1 + 7mV2 = 0

V1 = -7V2

Coefficient of friction = \mu

Friction force on the lighter fragment = f1 =\mu mg

Friction force on the heavier fragment = f2 =7\mu mg

Deceleration of the lighter fragment due to friction = a1

ma1 = -f1

ma1 = -\mu mg

a1 =-\mu g

Deceleration of the heavier fragment due to friction = a2

7ma2 = -f2

7ma2 = -7\mu mg

a2 = -\mu g

Final velocity of the lighter fragment = V3 = 0 m/s

Final velocity of the heavier fragment = V4 = 0 m/s

Distance traveled by the lighter fragment before coming to rest = d1

Distance traveled by the heavier fragment before coming to rest= d2 =6.8 m

V4² = V2² + 2a₂d₂

,

(0)^2 = V_2^2 + (2)(-\mu g)d_2

d_2 = \frac{V_2^2}{2 \mu g}

V₃² = V₁² + 2a₁d₁

(0) = (-7V_2)^2 + 2(-\mu g)d_1

d_1 = \frac{49V_2^2}{2 \mu g}

d₁ = 49d₂

d₁ = (49)(6.8)

d₁ = 333.2 m

Distance the lighter fragment slides before stopping = 333.2 m

A runner with a mass of 80kg accelerates from 0 to 9 m/s in 3 s find the net force
frosja888 [35]
So, first you find your acceleration which is 3m/s^2, using the acceleration formula.
Now set up your equation, F=ma, so put in the stuff, F=80kg·3m/s^2. Then solve your equation by multiplying, and you get F=240N, since newtons are your measurement.
Hope this helps

When light passes through an object unchanged, scientists call that process _____.
Nataly [62]

<u>Answer</u>:

When light passes through an object unchanged, scientists call that process Transmission.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Transmission is the process where all the light that is passed through the material moves via the material without being absorbed. The Transmission depends on the affected radiation.The Transmittance of the medium is defined as the ratio between transmitted radiant power and incident radiant power. The light that is passed through the medium and not reflected will be either scattered or reflected. The light can be transmitted only through transparent or translucent material. Opaque object does not allows transmission of light.

The energy photon affects which property of light
Triss [41]

Answer:

photoelectric effect

Explanation:

When the energy from photons is absorbed by matter, the matter can emit electrons. This process is called the photoelectric effect. The photoelectric effect is a property of light that is not explained by the theory that light is a wave.

The Gibson family have bought tickets to the Christmas Market. There are 4 mothers, 2 grand-mothers and 4 daughters. What is the
koban [17]
The minimum number of tickets that could admit all of them is six (6).

This thing is impossible to explain in words, so I shall attempt it with a diagram:

Here are the six ladies:

       ( A )      ( B )
          |           |
          |           |
       ( C )      ( D )
          |           |
          |           |
       ( E )       ( F )  

--  'E'  and  'F'  are the daughters of  'C'  and  'D' .

--  'C'  and  'D'  are the daughters of  'A'  and  'B' .

So look what we have now:

--  'A'  and  'B'  are the mothers of  'C'  and  'D' .
     There's 2 of the mothers.

--  'C'  and  'D'  are the mothers of  'E'  and  'F' .
     There's the OTHER 2 mothers. 
 
--  'A'  and  'B'  are the grandmothers of  'E'  and  'F' .
    There's the 2 grandmothers.

--  'E'  and  'F'  are the daughters of  'C'  and  'D' .
     There's 2 of the daughters.

--  'C'  and  'D'  are the daughters of  'A'  and  'B' .
     There's the OTHER 2 daughters.

You want to know what ? !
The group is even bigger than THAT.
There are also 2 GRAND-daughters in the family ...  'E'  and  'F' .

So now you have a list of 12 people ! ... 4 mothers, 2 grandmothers,
4 daughters, and 2 grand-daughters ... and they all get in to the
Christmas Market with only six tickets.    Legally !

Such a deal !

Don't forget :  Christmas this year is also the first day of Chanukah !
                     All for the same price !
