The question is incomplete. The mass of the object is 10 gram and travelling at a speed of 2 m/s.
Solution:
It is given that mass of object before explosion is,m = 10 g
Speed of object before explosion, v = 2 m/s
Let be the masses of the three fragments.
Let be the velocities of the three fragments.
Therefore, according to the law of conservation of momentum,
So the x- component of the velocity of the m2 fragment after the explosion is,
∴
The two forces of gravity are equal
Explanation:
We can answer this question by applying Newton's third law of motion, which states that:
"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"
In this problem, we can identify the Sun as object A and the Earth as object B. This means that the force of gravity exerted by the Sun on the Earth is the action, while the force of gravity exerted by the Earth on the Sun is the reaction: according to Newton's third law, these two forces are equal and opposite.
Therefore, the two forces of gravity are equal in magnitude, which is given by:
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the Sun
m is the mass of the Earth
r is the separation between the Earth and the Sun
