A fireworks rocket is fired vertically upward. At its maximum height of 90.0 m , it explodes and breaks into two pieces, one wit

h mass mA = 1.35 kg and the other with mass mB = 0.270 kg . In the explosion, 810 J of chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy of the two fragments.
Required:
a. What is the speed of each fragment just after the explosion?
b. It is observed that the two fragments hit the ground at the same time. What is the distance between the points on the ground where they land? Assume that the ground is level and air resistance can be ignored.

Answer:

Ai. Speed of the fragment with mass mA= 1.35 kg is 34.64 m/s

Aii. Speed of the fragment with mass mB = 0.270 kg is 77.46 m/s

B. 475.3 m

Explanation:

A. Determination of the speed of each fragment.

I. Determination of the speed of the fragment with mass mA = 1.35 kg

Mass of fragment (m₁) = 1.35 kg

Kinetic energy (KE) = 810 J

Velocity of fragment (u₁) =?

KE = ½m₁u₁²

810 = ½ × 1.35 × u₁²

810 = 0.675 × u₁²

Divide both side by 0.675

u₁² = 810 / 0.675

u₁² = 1200

Take the square root of both side.

u₁ = √1200

u₁ = 34.64 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the fragment with mass mA = 1.35 kg is 34.64 m/s

II. I. Determination of the speed of the fragment with mass mB = 0.270 kg

Mass of fragment (m₂) = 0.270 kg

Kinetic energy (KE) = 810 J

Velocity of fragment (u₂) =?

KE = ½m₂u₂²

810 = ½ × 0.270 × u₂²

810 = 0.135 × u₂²

Divide both side by 0.135

u₂² = 810 / 0.135

u₂² = 6000

Take the square root of both side.

u₂ = √6000

u₂ = 77.46 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the fragment with mass mB = 0.270 kg is 77.46 m/s

B. Determination of the distance between the points on the ground where they land.

We'll begin by calculating the time taken for the fragments to get to the ground. This can be obtained as follow:

Maximum height (h) = 90.0 m

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Time (t) =?

h = ½gt²

90 = ½ × 10 × t²

90 = 5 × t²

Divide both side by 5

t² = 90/5

t² = 18

Take the square root of both side

t = √18

t = 4.24 s

Thus, it will take 4.24 s for each fragments to get to the ground.

Next, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the fragment with mass mA = 1.35 kg. This is illustrated below:

Velocity of fragment (u₁) = 34.64 m/s

Time (t) = 4.24 s

Horizontal distance travelled by the fragment (s₁) =?

s₁ = u₁t

s₁ = 34.64 × 4.24

s₁ = 146.87 m

Next, we shall determine the horizontal distance travelled by the fragment with mass mB = 0.270 kg. This is illustrated below:

Velocity of fragment (u₂) = 77.46 m/s

Time (t) = 4.24 s

Horizontal distance travelled by the fragment (s₂) =?

s₂ = u₂t

s₂ = 77.46 × 4.24

s₂ = 328.43 m

Finally, we shall determine the distance between the points on the ground where they land.

Horizontal distance travelled by the 1st fragment (s₁) = 146.87 m

Horizontal distance travelled by the 2nd fragment (s₂) = 328.43 m

Distance apart (S) =?

S = s₁ + s₂

S = 146.87 + 328.43

S = 475.3 m

Therefore, the distance between the points on the ground where they land is 475.3 m

What is the equivalent resistance of a circuit that contains two 50.00
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Resistors in series add. There is only one path the current can take. That's why Christmas Tree lights sometimes give a lot of trouble. If a bulb burns out, it could be any one of them and time is needed to find the burned out bulb.

That being the case R = R1 + R2

R1 = 50 ohms

R2 = 50 ohms

R = 50 + 50

R = 100 ohms

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Compound.

Explanation:

A compound is a substance formed when two or more elements are chemically joined. Water, salt, and sugar are examples of compounds. When the elements are joined, the atoms lose their individual properties and have different properties from the elements they are composed of.
