In Challenge Example 11.9 (p. 280), after the explosion, suppose that the m1 fragment shot directly north at 12 m/s and the m3 f

ragment shot directly south at 9 m/s. What would be the x-component of the velocity of the m2 fragment after the explosion

The question is incomplete. The mass of the object is 10 gram and travelling at a speed of 2 m/s.

Solution:

It is given that mass of object before explosion is,m = 10 g

Speed of object before explosion, v = 2 m/s

Let $m_1, m_2 \text{ and}\ m_3$ be the masses of the three fragments.

Let $v_1, v_2 \text{ and}\ v_3$ be the velocities of the three fragments.

Therefore, according to the law of conservation of momentum,

$mv=m_1v_1 +m_2v_2+m_3v_3$

$10 \times 2  \hat i=3 \times 12 \hat{j} + 3(v_{2x} \hat{i}+v_{2y} \hat{j})-4 \times 9 \hat{j}$

So the x- component of the velocity of the m2 fragment after the explosion is,

$3v_{2x} = 20$

∴ $v_{2x} = 6.67 \ m/s$

Determine the relationship between neutron stars and black holes
Elis [28]

Answer:

When a dying star has a mass which is 1.4 to 3 times that of the sun, it will form a neutron star. Stars with a mass greater than thrice the sun's mass, black hole is formed.

When the displacement in SHM is equal to 1/3 of the amplitude xm, what fraction of the total energy is (a) kinetic energy and (b
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Displacement is \frac{1}{3} of Amplitude

i.e. x=\frac{A}{3} , where A is maximum amplitude

Potential Energy is given by

U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2

U=\frac{1}{2}k(\frac{A}{3})^2

U=\frac{1}{18}kA^2

Total Energy of SHM is given by

T.E.=\frac{1}{2}kA^2

Total Energy=kinetic Energy+Potential Energy

K.E.=\frac{1}{2}kA^2 -\frac{1}{18}kA^2

K.E.=\frac{8}{18}kA^2

Potential Energy is \frac{1}{8} th of Total Energy

Kinetic Energy is \frac{8}{9} of Total Energy

(c)Kinetic Energy is 0.5\times \frac{1}{2}kA^2

P.E.=\frac{1}{4}kA^2

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{4}kA^2

x=\frac{A}{\sqrt{2}}
