A bomb at rest at the origin of an xy-coordinate system explodes into three pieces. Just after the explosion, one piece, of mass
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) It is given that bomb was at rest initially , so ,  its momentum before the explosion was zero.

b ) We shall apply law of conservation of momentum along x and y direction separately because no external force acts on the bomb.

If v be the velocity of the third part along a direction making angle θ

with x axis ,

x component of v = vcosθ

So momentum along x axis  after explosion of third part   = mv cosθ

= 10 v cosθ

Momentum along x of first part = -  5 x 42 m/s

momentum of second part along x direction =0

total momentum along x direction before explosion = total momentum along x direction after explosion

0 = - 5 x 42 + 10 v cosθ

v cosθ = 21

Similarly

total momentum along y direction before explosion = total momentum along y direction after explosion

0 = - 5 x 38 +  10 v sinθ

v sinθ= 21

squaring and and then adding the above equation

v² cos²θ +v² sin²θ = 21² +19²

v² = 441 + 361

v = 28.31 m/s

Tanθ = 21 / 19

θ = 48°

How large must the coefficient of static friction be between the tires and the road if a car is to round a level curve of radius
maria [59]

Answer:

897

Explanation:

Speed of the car, v = 126 km/h, converting to m/s, we have v = 35 m/s and

Radius of the curve, R = 150 mm = 0.15 m

The centripetal acceleration a(c) is given by the formula = v² / R so that

a(c) = 35² / 0.15

a(c) = 1225 / 0.15

a(c) = 8167 m/s²

The force that causes the acceleration is frictional force = µ m g, where

µ = coefficient of friction

m = the mass of the car and

g = acceleration due to gravity, 9.81

From Newton's law:

µ m g = m a(c) , so that

µ = a(c) / g

µ = 8167 / 9.81

µ = 897

Therefore, the coefficient of static friction must be as big as 897

thin films of soap sometime display an array of colours. this display is the result of: a) reflection, diffraction, and interfer
kumpel [21]
The array of colors observed when viewing films of soap are caused by the interference, and from the reflections of light from two nearby surfaces (outer surface and inner surface). Among the choices, the closest answer would be B. reflection, refraction, and interference.
