Answer:
, the minus meaning west.
Explanation:
We know that linear momentum must be conserved, so it will be the same before (
) and after (
) the explosion. We will take the east direction as positive.
Before the explosion we have 
.
After the explosion we have pieces 1 and 2, so 
.
These equations must be vectorial but since we look at the instants before and after the explosions and the bomb fragments in only 2 pieces the problem can be simplified in one dimension with direction east-west.
Since we know momentum must be conserved we have:
Which means (since we want 
and 
):
So for our values we have:
In ur explanation make sure to use the terms
Answer:
B) the change in momentum
Explanation:
Impulse is defined as the product between the force exerted on an object (F) and the contact time (
)
Using Newton's second law (F = ma), we can rewrite the force as product of mass (m) and acceleration (a):
However, the acceleration is the ratio between the change in velocity (
) and the contact time (): 
, so the previous equation becomes
And by simplifying ,
which corresponds to the change in momentum of the object.
The reason why Lake Jackson disappeared is A. opening of a sinkhole.
Pollution, high atmospheric temperature, and absorption of water by the land aren't enough for an entire lake to disappear, however, a sinkhole may contribute to that. There are two major depressions (sinkholes) in this lake in Florida, and they even have their own names - Porter Sink and Lime Sink.
