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>

How is a velocity of zero different from an acceleration of zero?

Velocity basically means how fast you are going. Acceleration means how much your speed is increasing.

One of your fellow students comes up to you and asks the following question, "If an object is not moving, can it be accelerating
ipn [44]

Answer:

correct answer is option A (Yes, becuase acceleration depends on the rate of change of velocity and not the value of velocity itself.)

Explanation:

we know that from first equation of motion,

v=u+at

0r

a=\frac{v-u}{t}............(1)

here,

v-final velocity

u-initial velocity

a-acceleration

t-time

if a body is not moving it means if its initial velocity is zero (u=0) and if after time t it moves with velocity v then its acceleration will be given as

a=\frac{v}{t}...........(2)

From above equation it is clear that if an object is not moving, it can be accelerating because acceleration depends on rate of change of velocity and not the value of velocity itself.

A proton is first accelerated from rest through a potential difference V and then enters a uniform 0.750-T magnetic field orient
galben [10]

The magnetic force acting on a charged particle moving perpendicular to the field is:

F_{b} = qvB

F_{b} is the magnetic force, q is the particle charge, v is the particle velocity, and B is the magnetic field strength.

The centripetal force acting on a particle moving in a circular path is:

F_{c} = mv²/r

F_{c} is the centripetal force, m is the mass, v is the particle velocity, and r is the radius of the circular path.

If the magnetic force is acting as the centripetal force, set F_{b} equal to F_{c} and solve for v:

qvB = mv²/r

v = qBr/m

Due to the work-energy theorem, the work done on the proton by the potential difference V becomes the proton's kinetic energy:

W = KE

W is work, KE is kinetic energy

W = Vq

KE = 0.5mv²

Therefore:

Vq = 0.5mv²

Substitute v = qBr/m and solve for V:

V = 0.5qB²r²/m

Given values:

m = 1.67×10⁻²⁷kg (proton mass)

B = 0.750T

q = 1.60×10⁻¹⁹C (proton charge)

r = 1.84×10⁻²m

Plug in the values and solve for V:

V = (0.5)(1.60×10⁻¹⁹)(0.750)²(1.84×10⁻²)²/1.67×10⁻²⁷

V = 9120V

A pitcher throws a 0.145-kg baseball at a velocity of 30.0m/s. How
nata0808 [166]

Answer: 65.25 J

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy K.E. = 1/2 * m * v^2 ; where m is the mass of the body and v is the velocity of the body ; K.E. = 1/2 * 0.145 * 30 * 30 = 65.25 Joules

A positive charge is moved from one point to another point along an equipotential surface. The work required to move the charge
Strike441 [17]

Answer:zero

Explanation:

Work done in moving a charge is zero in equipotential  surface because potential of each point is same .

When there is Potential gradient then some particle experiences a force while moving but in equipotential surface there is no potential gradient , that is why work done in moving a charge is zero.
