A 5.0-kilogram grenade lying motionless on the ground explodes into three pieces. (It's not a very sophisticated grenade.) A 2.0-kilogram piece flies off at 18 meters per second and 110 degrees. A 1.7-kilogram piece flies off at 31 meters per second and 270 degrees. What is the velocity of the third piece? Include units in your answers.
in whole vector experiment . my doctor want me to write a 5 lines about what I have learned from this screenshot.
A firecracker moves vertically upward and after reaching the highest point in its vertical trajectory, it starts falling down. After it falls down by
17.7 meters in air it cracks into two identical pieces. One of the pieces shoots off horizontally with 11.8 m/s speed.
What would be the magnitude of the velocity of the other piece right after they split? Enter your answer in m/s. On your paper, show both your
calculation for the magnitude and also the direction of the velocity vector of the second piece. Show your work in detail including your physics-
based reasoning.

- We want to find the coefficient of restitution e between the ball and the floor. We will be able to measure the time of flight between subsequent bounces, but not the velocities before and after each impact. Question 1 a. Using the kinematics equation for position, find a relationship between the time of flight tn and the velocity of the ball after the nth bounce. You should obtain a quadratic equation that has two solutions for the time tm, but only one of them represents the time of flight. b. Using the kinematics equation for velocity and the relationship determined in the previous step, find the relationship between the velocity right after the nth bounce and the velocity right before the (n +1)th bounce? c. Given your answers to the previous parts of this question and the definition of €, find the coefficient of restitution e in terms of the subsequent times of flight tn and tr+1.arrow_forwardPlease answer it within 30 minutes.I will upvote! Problem: You have the chance to throw a water balloon at a clown in the circus. The clown is mostly protected by a wall, but there is a small hole where his head is. He is standing 10 m away from you. The hole is 3 m above theground. You release the balloon 1.5 m above the ground. If you throw the balloon at an angle of 40° abovethe horizontal, how fast should you throw it in order to hit the small hole?arrow_forwardDr. Liu is learning how to juggle. He tosses a tennis ball (probably bad choice since it is so bouncy) up at 2.5 m/s at a height 1.5 m above the floor and attempts to use the other hand to catch the falling ball. The ball hit the floor at his feet. How long was Dr. Liu's tennis ball in the air (between tossing and landing)? Ignore air drag. He should probably practice tossing his juggling ball at the same height and same speed before attempting to juggle. Hint: You can set the final position to be zero.arrow_forward

The fuse was timed to ignite the shell just as it reaches its highest point above the ground. Solve for the following: a) height at which the shell explodes; b) time passed between the launch of the shell and the explosion c) horizontal displacement of the shell when it explodes.arrow_forwardI'm confused with this one.
