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

Sever21 [200]

This is an incomplete question, here is a complete question.

The bulk modulus for bone is 15.0 (GPa). If a diver-in-training is put into a pressurized suit, by how much would the pressure have to be raised (in atmospheres) above atmospheric pressure to compress her bones by 0.130% of their original volume?

Answer : The change in pressure will be, 1.95\times 10^7Pa

Explanation : Given,

Bulk modulus = 15.0GPa=15.0\times 10^9Pa

Change in volume = 0.130 % of original volume

Let the original volume be, V

So, Change in volume = \frac{0.130}{100}\times V

Formula used for change in pressure is:

\Delta P=\beta \frac{\Delta V}{V}

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

\Delta P=(15.0\times 10^9Pa)\times \frac{(\frac{0.130}{100}\times V)}{V}

\Delta P=1.95\times 10^7Pa

Thus, the change in pressure will be, 1.95\times 10^7Pa

A projectile of mass 2.0 kg is fired in the air at an angle of 40.0 ° to the horizon at a speed of 50.0 m/s. At the highest poin
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

a) The fragment speeds of 0.3 kg is 33.3 m / s on the y axis

                                         0.7 kg is 109.4 ms on the x axis

b)  Y = 109.3 m

Explanation:

This is a moment and projectile launch exercise.

a) Let's start by finding the initial velocity of the projectile

       sin 40 = voy / v₀

       v_{oy} = v₀ sin 40

       v_{oy} = 50.0 sin40

       v_{oy} = 32.14 m / s

       cos 40 = v₀ₓ / V₀

       v₀ₓ = v₀ cos 40

       v₀ₓ = 50.0 cos 40

       v₀ₓ = 38.3 m / s

Let us define the system as the projectile formed t all fragments, for this system the moment is conserved in each axis

Let's write the amounts

Initial mass of the projectile M = 2.0 kg

Fragment mass 1 m₁ = 1.0 kg and its velocity is vₓ = 0 and v_{y} = -10.0 m / s

Fragment mass 2 m₂ = 0.7 kg moves in the x direction

Fragment mass 3 m₃ = 0.3 kg moves up (y axis)

Moment before the break

X axis

     p₀ₓ = m v₀ₓ

Y Axis y

    p_{oy} = 0

After the break

X axis

   p_{fx} = m₂ v₂

Axis y

     p_{fy} = m₁ v₁ + m₃ v₃

Let's write the conservation of the moment and calculate

Y Axis  

     0 = m₁ v₁ + m₃ v₃

Let's clear the speed of fragment 3

     v₃ = - m₁ v₁ / m₃

     v₃ = - (-10) 1 / 0.3

     v₃ = 33.3 m / s

X axis

     M v₀ₓ = m₂ v₂

     v₂ = v₀ₓ M / m₂

     v₂ = 38.3  2 / 0.7

     v₂ = 109.4 m / s

The fragment speeds of 0.3 kg is 33.3 m / s on the y axis

                                         0.7 kg is 109.4 ms on the x axis

b) The speed of the fragment is 33.3 m / s and has a starting height of where the fragmentation occurred, let's calculate with kinematics

       v_{fy}² = v_{oy}² - 2 gy

       0 =  v_{oy}²-2gy

       y =  v_{oy}² / 2g

       y = 32.14² / 2 9.8

       y = 52.7 m

This is the height where the break occurs, which is the initial height for body movement of 0.3 kg

      v_{f}² =  v_{y}² - 2 g y₂

      0 =  v_{y}² - 2 g y₂

     y₂ =  v_{y}² / 2g

     y₂ = 33.3²/2 9.8

     y₂ = 56.58 m

Total body height is

      Y = y + y₂

      Y = 52.7 + 56.58

     Y = 109.3 m

A jetliner flies east 2000 miles from San Francisco to Chicago. It has an average air speed of 600 mph relative to the air. What
mariarad [96]

Answer:

750 mph, east

Explanation:

The jetliner is going from San Francisco to Chicago... so it's moving from West to East, at 600 mph, relative to the air.

The wind is also moving from West to East, at 150 mph.

Since both are going in the same direction, we combine the speeds by adding them to each other.  If they were in opposite direction, we would subtract them.

So, 600 mph for the plane + 150 mph for the wind = 750 mph, going EAST.

The Cajun Cliffhanger at Great AMerica is a ride in which occupants line the perimeter of a cylinder and spin in a circle at a h
12345 [234]

Explanation:

Centripetal Force is the force that keeps the object's rotation in a circular path and it's always directed towards the center of rotation. Mathematically, it is given as,

F_{c} = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

From this equation it can be concluded that the centripetal force is proportional to the product of mass and the square of velocity. It is inversely proportional to the object's distance from the center.

Now in the above mentioned case, when the cylinder begins spinning very rapidly and it's speed becomes double. Then by applying the above equation we conclude that " the force will be increased four times if the speed is doubled as it is proportional to square of speed."
