Answer:
2,87 *
Explanation:
When the bullets meet at the center and collide, since momentum is a vectoral quantity, their momentum vectors even up and are sumof zero. Formula of momentum is P = m.v , where m is mass and v is velocity. Let’s name the first two bullets as x,y and the one which mass is unknown as z. Then calculate momentum of x and y:
Px= 5,30 * * 301 = 1,5953 kg*m/s
Py= 5,30 * * 301 = 1,5953 kg*m/s
The angle between x and y bullets is 120°, and we know that if the angle between two equal magnitude vectors is 120°, the magnitude of the resultant vector will be equal to first two and placed in exact middle of two vectors. So we can say total momentum of x and y (Px+Py) equals to 1,5953 kg*m/s as well (Shown in the figure).
For z bullet to equalize the total momentum of x and y bullets, it needs to have the same amount of momentum in the opposite way.
Pz = 1,5953 = m * 554
m = 2,87 * kg
