What is the speed of the third piece-spaceship of mass

Reference no: EM13542498

A spaceship of mass 2.20×106 is cruising at a speed of 5.40×106 when the antimatter reactor fails, blowing the ship into three pieces. One section, having a mass of 4.90×105 , is blown straight backward with a speed of 2.40×106 . A second piece, with mass 8.10×105 , continues forward at 1.00×106 .What is the speed of the third piece?

Assuming that terrain is level-that air drag is negligible : A shell is shot with an initial velocity of 29 m/s, at an angle of ?0 = 62° with the horizontal. At the top of the trajectory, the shell explodes into two fragments of equal mass (see the figure). One fragment, whose speed immediately after the explo..

Gas station on the other side of the valley : A 1500 car traveling at 11 suddenly runs out of gas while approaching the valley shown in the figure. The alert driver immediately puts the car in neutral so that it will roll. What will be the car’s speed as it coasts into the gas station on the oth..

Find the magnitude of final velocity of two-block system : Block 1, of mass = 9.70 , moves along a frictionless air track with speed = 19.0 . It collides with block 2, of mass = 15.0 , which was initially at rest. The blocks stick together after the collision. Find the magnitude of the total initial momentum..
