Practicing Success
An explosion blows a rock into three parts. Two parts go off at right angles to each other. These two are, 1 kg first part moving with a velocity of 12 m/s and 2 kg second part moving with a velocity of 8 m/s . If the third part flies off with a velocity of 4 m/s , its mass would be: |
7 kg 17 kg 3 kg 5 kg |
5 kg |
Mv Cos \(\theta\) = 12 Mv Sin \(\theta\) = 16 Tan \(\theta = \frac{4}{3} \) M = \(\frac{12 × 5}{4 × 3}\) = \(\frac{60}{12}\) M = 5 kg |
