Question

A firecracker streaks to its highest point and breaks into many pieces, one of which has a mass of 0.28 kg and moves along the x-axis with vx= 8.6 m/s. A second piece has a mass of 0.59 kg and moves along the y-axis with vy= 0.5 m/s. Calculate the positive angle θ the total momentum of these two pieces makes with respect to the +x-axis.

Step 1

- The mass of the first piece (m1) is 0.28 kg and its velocity along the x-axis (vx1) is 8.6 m/s. - The momentum (p1) of the first piece is given by the formula: \[ p1 = m1 \cdot vx1 = 0.28 \, \text{kg} \cdot 8.6 \, \text{m/s} = 2.408 \, \text{kg m/s} \] Show more…
