6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

$a = \frac{3600}{1800} = \frac{36}{18} = 2\\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Arturiano [62]

Answer:

the third piece landed $2\,\sqrt{2}$ meters in a direction 45 degrees from the observer's right towards the front

Explanation:

Due to conservation of momentum, the momentum of the third piece must add to the other two momenta in vector from to render zero (initial momentum of the firework on a plane parallel to ground. Therefore the momentum components of the third piece must have a component to the right equal in magnitude to the momentum of the piece that traveled to the left, and a momentum component pointing to the front of the observer of equal magnitude to that of the piece that traveled behind the observer. Then the direction of the third momentum must be at 45 degrees from the observer's right towards the observer's front.

Also, the magnitude of a momentum vector of such components, is given by the Pythagorean theorem. Recall also that the magnitudes of the momentum vectors of the first two pieces must be equal since they traveled equal distances.

$|P_3|=\sqrt{P_1^2+P_2^2} \\|P_3|=\sqrt{P^2+P^2}\\|P_3|=\sqrt{2P^2}\\|P_3|=P\sqrt{2}$
