Answer:

a.) 1567.2 m/s

b.) 149.4 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a 26 kg body is moving through space in the positive direction of an x axis with a speed of 350 m/s when, due to an internal explosion, it breaks into three parts. One part, with a mass of 7.8 kg, moves away from the point of explosion with a speed of 180 m/s in the positive y direction. A second part, with a mass of 8.8 kg, moves in the negative x direction with a speed of 640 m/s.

The x-component of the third part can be calculated by assuming that it moves in a positive x axis.

The third mass = 26 - ( 7.8 + 8.8)

The third mass = 26 - 16.6

The third mass = 9.4kg

since momentum is conserved, the momentum before explosion will be equal to sum of the momentum after explosion

26 x 350 = -8.8 x 640 + 9.4V

9100 = -5632 + 9.4V

9.4V = 9100 + 5632

9.4V = 14732

V = 14732/9.4

V = 1567.2 m/s

(b) y-component of the velocity of the third part will be

7.8 x 180 = 9.4 V

1404 = 9.4V

V = 1404/9.4

V = 149.4 m/s

A 4.6-kg block of ice originally at 263 K is placed in thermal contact with a 15.7-kg block of silver (cAg = 233 J/kg-K) which i
Viktor [21]

Answer:

temperature at  326.44 K system achieve equilibrium

Explanation:

given data

mass of block of ice = 4.6 kg

temperature = 263 K

thermal contact =  15.7-kg

specific heat of silver  cAg = 233 J/kg-K

initially temperature = 1052 K

to find out

what temperature will the system achieve equilibrium

solution

first we consider final temperature of the system  is T

we know that specific heat of water (C w) = 4186 J(kg K)

and

specific heat of ice ( C i )  = 2030 J/(kg K)

and

latent heat of fusion of ice ( Lf ) = 3.33 × 10^{5} J/kg

and we know that system is insulated

so  heat lost by silver = heat generated by ice    .................1

so we can say

mass of silver × specific heat of silver  × ( initial temp - final temp ) = mass of  ice × specific heat of ice  × ( ice temp ) + mass of  ice × latent heat of fusion of ice + mass of  ice × specific heat of water  × (final temperature )  

put here value we get

mass of silver × specific heat of silver  × ( initial temp - final temp ) = mass of  ice × specific heat of ice  × ( ice temp ) + mass of  ice × latent heat of fusion of ice + mass of  ice × specific heat of water  × (final temperature )

15.7  × 233 × ( 1052 - T ) = 4.6 × 2030 × 10 + 4.6 × 3.33 × 10^{5} + 4.6 × 4286 × ( T - 273 )

solve we get

T =  326.44 K

so temperature at  326.44 K system achieve equilibrium

A 72-kg man stands on a spring scale in an elevator. Starting from rest, the elevator ascends, attaining its maximum speed of 1.
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

During the first .8 s , the elevator is under acceleration . It starts from initial velocity u = 0 , final velocity v = 1.2 m /s , time = .8 s

v = u + at

1.2 = 0 +  .8 a

a = 1.2 / .8

= 1.5 m /s²

During the acceleration in upward direction , let reaction force of ground on man be R .

Net force on man = R - mg

Applying Newton's 2 nd law

R - mg = ma

R = m ( g + a )

= 72 ( 9.8 + 1.5 )

= 813.6 N .

This reaction force will be measured by spring scale , so reading of spring scale will be 813.6 N .

An astronaut on the moon places a package on a scale and finds its weight to be 10. N. () What would the weight of the package
jeka94

Answer:

(a) 61.25 N

(b) 6.25 kg

(c) 6.25 Kg

Explanation:

Weight on moon = 10 N

Acceleration due to gravity on moon = 1.6 m/s^2

Acceleration due to gravity on earth = 9.8 m/s^2

Let m be the mass of the package.

(a) Weight on earth = mass x acceleration due to gravity on earth

Weight on earth = 6.25 x 9.8 = 61.25 N

(b) Weight on moon = mass x acceleration due to gravity on moon

10 = m x 1.6

m = 6.25 kg

(c) Mass of the package remains same as mass does not change, so the mass of package on earth is 6.25 kg.
