An unstable atomic nucleus of mass 1.82 10-26 kg initially at rest disintegrates into three particles. One of the particles, of

mass 5.18 10-27 kg, moves in the y direction with a speed of 6.00 106 m/s. Another particle, of mass 8.50 10-27 kg, moves in the x direction with a speed of 4.00 106 m/s. (a) Find the velocity of the third particle.

Answer:

Explanation:

Using Conservation of momentum (total final momentum of system is)

m1•v1f + m2•v2 f + m3•v3 f=0

and it must be zero to equal the original momentum( since the original body is at rest).

Given that

original mass M=1.82×10^-26

First disintegrate mass m1=5.18×10^-27kg

In y direction V1f=6×10^6 I'm/s

Second disintegrate mass m2=8.5×10^-27kg

In x direction V2f=4×10^6 im/s

Then the third disintegrate will be

m3=M-m1-m2

m3=1.82×10^-26-5.18×10^-27-8.5×10^-27

m3=4.52×10^-27

And the velocity is unknown

Now using the formula above

m1•v1f + m2•v2 f + m3•v3 f=0

m3•V3f= - m1•v1f - m2•v2 f

4.52E-27V3f=-5.18E-27×6E6j - 8.5E-27×4E6 i

Divide thorough by 4.52E-27

V3f= - 6.88×10^6j - 7.52×10^6i

V3f= - 7.52×10^6i - 6.88×10^6j

The final velocity of the third mass disintegrate is 6.88×10^6j - 7.52×10^6i m/s

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The balloon hit the ground with velocity -15.34 m/s

Explanation:

<em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

You found that the best height to pitch a water balloon in order for it to

burst when it hits the ground is 12 meters.

We consider that the 12 meters is the maximum height, so the velocity

at this height is zero.

To find the velocity when the balloon hits the ground lets use the rule

<em>v² = u² + 2gh</em>, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, g is

the acceleration of gravity and h is the height.

u = 0 , h = 12 m , g = 9.8 m/s²

<em>Substitute these values in the equation above</em>

v² = 0 + 2(9.8)(12)

v² = 235.2

<em>Take square root for both sides</em>

v = ± \sqrt{235.2}

The velocity is downward, then it's a negative value

Then v = -15.34 m/s

<em>The balloon hit the ground with velocity -15.34 m/s</em>

Assume that the equator of the Earth is 24,000 miles long (that’s its circumference). Now, pretend that you are standing somewhe
slega [8]

Answer:

1000 mph

Explanation:

P = Perimeter = 24000 mi

r = Radius of the equator

t = Time taken to complete one rotation = 24 h

Perimeter of a circle is given by

P=2\pi r\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{P}{2\pi}\\\Rightarrow r=\dfrac{24000}{2\pi}\ mi

Angular speed is given by

\omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{t}\\\Rightarrow \omega=\dfrac{2\pi}{24}

Velocity if given by

v=r\omega\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{24000}{2\pi}\times \dfrac{2\pi}{24}\\\Rightarrow v=1000\ mph

The person would be going at a speed of 1000 mph

How long does it take for mars to rotate on its axis
Svetllana [295]

Hello There!

It takes the planet Mars around 24 hours, 37 minutes, 23 seconds to rotate on its axis. This is around the same amount of time that it takes our planet to rotate once on its axis.
