A5.0 kg TNT explosive, initially at rest, explodes into two pieces. One of the pieces weighing 2.0 kg flies off to
1 answer:
Answer:
v = 24 m/s, rightwards
Explanation:
Given that,
The mass of TBT explosive = 5 kg
It explodes into two pieces.
One of the pieces weighing 2.0 kg flies off to the left at 36 m/s. Let left be negative and right be positive.
The law of conservation of momentum holds here. Let v be the final speed of the remaining piece. So,
So, the final speed of the remaining piece is 24 m/s and it is in the right direction.

Answer:
1400 N
Explanation:
Change in momentum equals impulse which is a product of force and time
Change in momentum is given by m(v-u)
Equating this to impulse formula then
m(v-u)=Ft
Making F the subject of the formula then
Take upward direction as positive then downwards is negative
Substituting m with 0.3 kg, v with 2 m/s, and u with -5 m/s and t with 0.0015 s then
