A firecracker breaks up into three pieces, one of which has a mass of 200 g and flies off along the x-axis with a speed of 82.0

m/s. A second piece has a mass of 300 g and flies off along the y-axis with a speed of 45.0 m/s. (a) What is the magnitude of the momentum for the third piece

Answer:

$|P_3|=21.242m/s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass $m=200g=0.2$

Speed $v=82.0m/s$

Mass $M_2=300g=0.3kg$

Speed $V_2=45.0m/s$

Generally the equation for Magnitude of the Third piece is mathematically given by

$P_1+P_2+P_3=0$

$|P_3|=|P_1+P_2|$

Where

$P_1=m_1v_1$

$P_1=0.2*82$

$P_1=16.4kgm/s$

And

$P_2=0.3*45$

$P_2=13.5kgm/s$

Therefore

$|P_3|=\sqrt{16.4^2+13.5^2}$

$|P_3|=21.242m/s$

(d) Suppose you use a spring to launch a payload horizontally from the asteroid so that the payload ends up far from the asteroi

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

ks= 133.2 N/m

Explanation:

Assuming that we can neglect the gravitational potential energy of the mass, and that no other forces acting on the payload, total mechanical energy must be conserved.
This energy, at any time, is part elastic potential energy (stored in the spring) and part kinetic energy.
When the spring is initially compressed, the payload is at rest, so all energy is elastic potential.
Once the spring has returned to its natural state, all this elastic potential energy must have been turned into kinetic energy.
If the payload is launched horizontally, and no gravity is present,this means that its final speed will be horizontal only also, according to Newton's First Law.
So, we can write the following equation:

$\Delta U + \Delta K = 0 (1)$

where ΔU = -1/2*k*(Δx)² (2)
and ΔK = 1/2*m*v² (3)
Replacing in (2) and (3) by the givens, and simplifying, we can find the stiffness ks as follows:

$k_{s} =\frac{m*v^{2}}{\Delta x^{2}} = \frac{29 kg*(3m/s)^{2}}{(1.4m)^{2}} = 133.2 N/M (4)$

You divide sort of the similar but vector is distance and displacement and scalar is just distance

If a box of supplies is dropped from the cargo hold of an airplane travelling at an altitude of 4,410 meters how long will it ta

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

It will take 30 seconds to reach the ground, and it will be travelling at 294 m/s when it does so. This means that its average velocity was 147 m/s.

Explanation:

$d=v_ot+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

Since the initial velocity of a dropped object is 0, we can make this the equation:

$d=\dfrac{1}{2}at^2 \\\\4410=\dfac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2 \\\\t^2=900$

$t=30\text{ seconds}$

The final velocity can be calculated with the formula:

$v_f=v_o+at$

Once again, since there is no initial velocity:

$v_f=at \\\\v_f=(9.8)(30)=294m/s$

Since the initial velocity is 0, the average vertical velocity is 294/2=147 m/s.

Hope this helps!
