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 .

Two planets have the same surface gravity, but planet b has twice the radius of planet
nevsk [136]
The formula for the acceleration due to gravity is:

a = Gm/r²
where
G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.6726 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²
m is the mass of planet
r is the radius of planet

So, if they have the same a:

m₁/r₁² = m₂/r₂²
So, if m₁ = m and r₂ = 2r₁,
m/r₁² = m₂/(2r₁)²
m₂ = 4m

<em>Thus, the answer is D.</em>

PLEASE HELP ANSWER FAST As the vibration of molecules decreases, the _____ of the substance decreases. 1.temperature 2.internal
Aleksandr [31]
I think 1 and 3 is absolutely right but im not sure about number 2.
I think the answer is 4 all of the above because as the vibration decrease automatically the kinetic energy decrease and the temperature is decrease because when the vibration of molecules decrease thats mean the substances is slightly become a solid and you can get a solid cube of liquid if you freeze them
