an object at rest on a flat, horizontal surface explodes into two fragments, one seven times as massive as the other. the heavier fragment slides 5.90 mm before stopping. how far does the lighter fragment slide?



Answer :

The lighter fragment slide to a distance of 289.1m.

The distance between two points is referred to as its length.

7m in mass for the heavier fragment

The lighter fragment's velocity is equal to V1.

The velocity of larger pieces is equal to V2.

mv1 + 7mv2 = 0

V1 = -7V2

The frictional force on lighter fragment: f1 = mg

Friction force on a heavier piece is equal to f2 = 7 mg.

The lighter fragment's deceleration equals a1.

frictional force = ma1 = - f1

ma1 = - µmg

a1 = - µg

Deceleration of the heavier piece equals a2.

7ma2 = -f2

7ma2 = - 7µmg

a2 = - µg

V₃²= V₁² + 2a₁d₁

0 = (-7v₂)² + 2(-µg) d₁

d₁ =  49v₂²/ 2µg

d₁  = 49d₂ = 49 ˣ 5.9 = 289.1m
