A firecracker breaks up into three pieces, one of which has a mass of 200 g and flies off along the x-axis with a speed of 82.0 m/s. A second piece has a mass of 300 g and flies off along the y-axis with a speed of 45.0 m/s. (a) What is the magnitude of the momentum for the third piece

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]|P_3|=21.242m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass [tex]m=200g=0.2[/tex]

Speed [tex]v=82.0m/s[/tex]

Mass [tex]M_2=300g=0.3kg[/tex]

Speed [tex]V_2=45.0m/s[/tex]

Generally the equation for Magnitude of the Third piece is mathematically given by

[tex]P_1+P_2+P_3=0[/tex]

[tex]|P_3|=|P_1+P_2|[/tex]

Where

[tex]P_1=m_1v_1[/tex]

[tex]P_1=0.2*82[/tex]

[tex]P_1=16.4kgm/s[/tex]

And

[tex]P_2=0.3*45[/tex]

[tex]P_2=13.5kgm/s[/tex]

Therefore

[tex]|P_3|=\sqrt{16.4^2+13.5^2}[/tex]

[tex]|P_3|=21.242m/s[/tex]
