A 10 g projectile is traveling east at 2.0 m/s when it suddenly explodes into three pieces. A 3.0 g fragment is shot due west at 10 m/s while another 3.0 g fragment travels 40◦ north east at 12 m/s. What are the speed and direction of the third fragment?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Lets take

+ x - East

- x - West

+ y - North

- y  - South

Lets take mass of third part is m

m = 10 - 3 - 3 = 4 g

lets speed in x direction is Vx

Speed in y direction is Vy

Linear momentum conservation in x direction,

10 x 2 = [3 x (-10)] + [3 x 12cos40] + [4 x Vx]

Vx = 5.60 m/s

Linear momentum conservation in y direction,

3 x 12 sin40 = 4 x Vy  

Vy= 5.7851 m/s

The resultant speed

[tex]V=\sqrt{V_x^2+V_y^2}[/tex]

[tex]V=\sqrt{6.6056^2+5.7851^2}[/tex]

V= 8.055 m/s

Angle made with east direction

[tex]tan\theta=\dfrac{V_y}{V_x}[/tex]

[tex]tan\theta=\dfrac{5.7851}{5.6056}[/tex]

θ = 45.9°south of east
