This problem has been solved! See the answer A 6.0 kg object, initially at rest in free space, "explodes" into three segments of

equal mass. Two of these segments are observed to be moving with equal speeds of 20 m/s with an angle of 60 degrees between their directions of motion. How much kinetic energy is released in this explosion?

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of each part = 6 / 3 = 2 kg .

momentum of each of given part = 2 x 20 = 40 kg m/s

Two momentum of 40 kg m/s , acting at angle 60 degree .

Resultant momentum = 2 x 40 cos 30 = 69.28 kg m/s

The third mass will have equal and opposite momentum to this momentum , following law of conservation of momentum .

If its velocity be v .

2 x v = 69.28

v = 34.64 m /s

Third mass will have velocity of 34.64 m /s

Total kinetic energy of all three mass

KE = 1/2 x 2 ( 20² + 20² + 34.64² )

= 400 + 400 + 1199.92

= 1999.93 J .

Answer:

t = 106π / 30*2.1

Explanation:

$w_{i} = 1.06*10^{2}$ => 106

=> 106 x 2π/60

=> 106/30π

∝ = -2.1 rad/sec²

$w_{f}$ => 0

$w_{f}$ = $w_{i}$ + ∝t

∴ ( $w_{f}$ - $w_{i}$ ) / ∝ = t

t = 106π / 30*2.1

Answer:

$k=105.0359\times 10^4\,W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

temperature at the hotter end, $T_H=100^{\circ}C$

temperature at the cooler end, $T_C=0^{\circ}C$

length of rod through which the heat travels, $dx=0.7\,m$

cross-sectional area of rod, $A=1.1\times 10^{-4}\,cm^2$

mass of ice melted at zero degree Celsius, $m=8.7\times 10^{-3}\,kg$

time taken for the melting of ice, $t=15\times60=900\,s$

thermal conductivity k=?

By Fourier's Law of conduction we have:

$\dot{Q}=k.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$ ......................................(1)

where:

$\dot{Q}$ =rate of heat transfer

dT= temperature difference across the length dx

Now, we need the total heat transfer according to the condition:

we know the latent heat of fusion of ice, $L = 334000\,J.kg^{-1}$

$Q=m.L$

$Q=8.7\times 10^{-3}\times 334000$

$Q=2905.8\,J$

Now the heat rate:

$\dot{Q}=\frac{Q}{t}$

$\dot{Q}=\frac{2905.8}{900}$

$\dot{Q}=3.2287\,W$

Now using eq,(1)

$3.2287=k\times 1.1\times 10^{-4} \times \frac{100}{0.7}$

$k=205.4606\,W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$
