Answer:

speed: 35m/s

direction: left

Explanation:

Assuming the right side is the positive direction:

before explosion:

P = mv = 0

after explosion:

P' = 15P + 5P

(Set the velocity of the 15kg piece after explosion as v1' and the velocity of the 5kg piece after explosion as v2')

P' = 0.75mv1' + 0.25mv2'

P' = (15kg)v' + (5kg)(105m/s)

P' = 525kg/m/s + (15kg)v1'

P = P'

525kg/m/s + (15kg)v1' = 0

(15kg)v1' = -525kg/m/s

v1' = -35m/s

<u>speed = |-35| = 35m/s</u>

<u>direction is to the left since the right side is the positive direction.</u>

Thepotemich [5.8K]

The only way of telling about dark energy is our observation of how the universe has been expanding. It basically works the opposite as gravity, pushing things away from it. Thus, the closest answer would be D. The shape of galaxies in cluster galaxies.

What causes winds to form?
nlexa [21]
Wind is caused by differences in the atmospheric pressure. When a difference in atmospheric pressure exists, air moves from the higher to the lower pressure area, resulting in winds of various speeds. On a rotating planet, air will also be deflected by the Coriolis effect, except exactly on the equator.

2. A 3.0 kg block rests on a level surface. The coefficient of static friction is µs = 0.50, and the coefficient of kinetic fric
yan [13]
Friction force is equal to the applied force F until the block starts moving. Hence, it will increase until the maximum value of 3.0*10*0.50=150 N. 

While it's moving, the friction will be 3.0*10*0.2 = 60 N, constant. The rest of the applied force will accelerate the block.
