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

The sun is 150,000,000 km from the earth.
aniked [119]

Answer:

<h3>What is the angular speed of the earth around the sun? </h3>

It takes the Earth approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09 seconds to make one complete revolution (360 degrees). This length of time is known as a sidereal day. The Earth rotates at a moderate angular velocity of

7.2921159 × 10 {}^{ - 5}  \:  \:  \frac{radians}{second}

<h3>What is the tangential speed of the earth? </h3>

The earth rotates once every 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.09053 seconds, called the sidereal period, and its circumference is roughly 40,075 kilometers. Thus, the surface of the earth at the equator moves at a speed of 460 meters per second--or roughly 1,000 miles per hour.

A runner is jogging in a straight line at a
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

13 km

Explanation:

The bird flies from the runner, to the finish line, and back to the runner.  We can write two equations for the distance it travels:

d = 7.8 km + 7.8 km − 4.9 km/hr × t

d = 24.5 km/hr × t

Solve for t in the second equation and substitute into the first:

t = d / 24.5

d = 7.8 + 7.8 − 4.9 (d / 24.5)

d = 15.6 − 0.2 d

1.2 d = 15.6

d = 13

The bird flies a cumulative distance of 13 km.

Photons are generated by a microwave oven in a kitchen and by an x ray machine at a dentist’s office. which type of photon has t
Ad libitum [116K]

The different types of radiation are defined by the the amount of energy found in the photons. X-Ray photons will have greater frequency than microwaves but microwaves will have greater wavelength.

There are seven regions in the electromagnetic spectrum which in order of lowest to highest frequency are: Radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. Wavelength is inversely proportional to frequency, therefore radio waves have the longest wavelength and gamma rays have the shortest. that is why X-Ray machine photons have greater frequency and shorter wavelength while microwave photons have lower frequency but higher wavelength.

A 1200-kg car, initially moving at 20 m/s, comes to a stop at a red light over a time of 3 s from the moment the driver hit the
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

Mass of car (M)=1200kg

Initial velocity (u)=20m/s

Stop after time (t)=3sec.

Come to stop implies that the final velocity is zero, v=0m/s

Using newton second law of motion

F=m(v-u)/t

Ft=m(v-u)

Since impulse is Ft

I=Ft

Then, I=Ft=m(v-u)

I=m(v-u)

I=1200(0-20)

I=1200×-20

I=-24,000Ns

The impulse delivered to the car by static friction is -24,000Ns
