Answer:

A is correct

Explanation:

The vertical force up is balanced by the vertical component of the largest force

The horizontal force to the right is balanced by the horizontal component of the largest force.

C and D will both tend to accelerate upward at some angle

B looks like the horizontal force right is larger than the sum of the horizontal components of the other two forces.

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°

A wagon is rolling forward on level ground. Friction is negligible. The person sitting in the wagon is holding a rock. The total

Rudik [331]

Answer:

a) 0.41 m/s

b) 0.51 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

M = total mass of wagon, rider and the rock = 93.1 kg

V = initial velocity of wagon = 0.456 m/s

m = mass of the rock = 0.292 kg

v = velocity of rock after throw = 15.4 m/s

V' = velocity of wagon after rock is thrown

Using conservation of momentum

M V = m v + (M - m) V'

(93.1) (0.456) = (0.292) (15.4) + (93.1 - 0.292) V'

V' = 0.41 m/s

M = total mass of wagon, rider and the rock = 93.1 kg

V = initial velocity of wagon = 0.456 m/s

m = mass of the rock = 0.292 kg

v = velocity of rock after throw = - 15.4 m/s

V' = velocity of wagon after rock is thrown

Using conservation of momentum

M V = m v + (M - m) V'

(93.1) (0.456) = (0.292) (- 15.4) + (93.1 - 0.292) V'

V' = 0.51 m/s

12. What is the photoelectric effect, and what experimental evidence led scientists

anygoal [31]

Answer:

Photoelectric effect, phenomenon in which electrically charged particles are released from or within a material when it absorbs electromagnetic radiation.

Explanation:

The effect is often defined as the ejection of electrons from a metal plate when light falls on it. In a broader definition, the radiant energy may be infrared, visible, or ultraviolet light, X-rays, or gamma rays; the material may be a solid, liquid, or gas; and the released particles may be ions (electrically charged atoms or molecules) as well as electrons. The phenomenon was fundamentally significant in the development of modern physics because of the puzzling questions it raised about the nature of light—particle versus wavelike behaviour—that were finally resolved by Albert Einstein in 1905. The effect remains important for research in areas from materials science to astrophysics, as well as forming the basis for a variety of useful devices.
