Rodney is trying out one of santa's new games that consists of three pieces that blow apart if the wrong key is inserted into the door. the elf picks the wrong key and the board explodes. one piece of mass 2 kg goes off at an angle of 60° from the horizon at 10 m/s. a second piece of mass 1.2 kg travels at an angle of 180° and is moving at 15 m/s.

a) find the momentum of the third piece.

b) find the velocity of the third piece if it's mass is 3 kg.

The third piece moves at 6.36 m/s at an angle of 65° below the horizon

Explanation:

Linear Momentum

It's a physical magnitude that measures the product of the velocity by the mass of a moving object. In a system where no external forces are acting, the total momentum remains unchanged regardless of the interactions between the objects in the system.

If the velocity of an object of mass m is $\vec v$ , the linear momentum is computed by

$\displaystyle \vec{P}=m.\vec{v}$

The momentum of the board before the explosion is

$\displaystyle \vec{P}_{t1}=m_t\ \vec{v}_o$

Since the board was initially at rest

$\displaystyle \vec{P}_{t1}=$

After the explosion, 3 pieces are propelled in different directions and velocities, and the total momentum is

$\displaystyle \vec{P}_{t2}=m_1\ \vec{v}_1\ +\ m_2\ \vec{v}_2+m_3\ \vec{v}_3$

The first piece of 2 kg moves at 10 m/s in a 60° direction

$\displaystyle \vec{v}_1=(10\ m/s,60^o)$

We find the components of that velocity

$\displaystyle \vec{v}_1=$

$\displaystyle \vec{v}_1=m/s$

The second piece of 1.2 kg goes at 15 m/s in a 180° direction

$\displaystyle \vec{v}_2=(15,180^o)$

Its components are computed

$\displaystyle \vec{v}_2=(15\ cos180^o,15\ sin180^o)$

$\displaystyle \vec{v}_2=(-15,0)\ m/s$

The total momentum becomes

$\displaystyle P_{t2}=2+1.2+m_3\ \vec{v}_3$

Operating

$\displaystyle P_{t2}=++m_3\ \vec{v}_3$

Knowing the total momentum equals the initial momentum

$\displaystyle P_{t2}=+m_3\ \vec{v}_3=0$

Rearranging

$\displaystyle m_3\ \vec{v}_3=$

Calculating

$\displaystyle m_3\ \vec{v}_3=$

This is the momentum of the third piece

From the above equation, we solve for $\vec v_3$ :

$\displaystyle \vec{v}_3=\frac{1}{3}$

$\displaystyle \vec{v}_3=m/s$

The magnitude of the velocity is

$\displaystyle \vec{v}_3|=\sqrt{2.67^2+(-5.77)^2}=6.36$

And the angle is

$\displaystyle tan\theta =\frac{-5.77}{2.67}=-2.161$

$\displaystyle \theta =-65.17^o$

The third piece moves at 6.36 m/s at an angle of 65° below the horizon

cell differentiation is how generic embryonic cells become specialized cells. this occurs through a process called gene expression. gene expression is the specific combination of genes that are turned on or off (expressed or repressed), and this is what dictates how a cell functions.

It may seem strange that the selected velocity does not depend on either the mass or the charge of the particle. (for example, would the velocity of a neutral particle be selected by passage through this device? ) the explanation of this is that the mass and the charge control the resolution of the device--particles with the wrong velocity will be accelerated away from the straight line and will not pass through the exit slit. if the acceleration depends strongly on the velocity, then particles with just slightly wrong velocities will feel a substantial transverse acceleration and will not exit the selector. because the acc

You are in a car that is traveling along highway 99 at a constant speed of 16 m/s. suddenly you see a truck also traveling at a constant speed (3.0 m/s) that is on a track to cross your lane from an alley on the right and is moving into your lane (which you can’t get out of, because of broader safety concerns like head on traffic in the other lane). your car’s maximum acceleration is 6.0 m/s2 (either way, gettingfaster or slower) and your reaction time of 0.75 s between first seeing the truck and applying the brake or the accelerator. the distance from the side street, where you first notice the truck, to the right edge of your lane is 2.0 m and the lane also has a fixed width of 4.0m, check for yourself that all these numbers are reasonable. you will assume a reasonable size for your car. the truck is 3.0 m wide.a) how long will it take the truck from the moment you notice it, to block enough of your lane so you can’t slip past while also staying in your own lane (in seconds)? b) how far will your car travel (in meters) while your brain is figuring out what to do? c) if you decide that braking is in your best interests how long will it take you to come to a complete stop once you begin the process of braking (in s)? d) what is the minimum distance (in m) you must be from the truck to successfully stop before hitting
