Apyrotechnical releases a 3 kg firecracker from rest. at t=0.4 s, the firecracker is moving downward with a speed 4 m/s. at the same instant the firecracker begins to explode into two pieces, "top" and "bottom", with masses mtop = 1 kg and mbottom=2 kg. at the end of the explosion (t = 0.6 s), the top piece is moving upward with speed 6 m/s the mass of the explosive substance is negligible in comparison to the mass of the two pieces.

a) determine the magnitude of the net force on the firecracker system before the explosion. (use g=10). explain.

i said f=m*a=(3)(10)= 30n

b) determine the magnitude of the net force on the firecracker system during the explosion.

i said the net force would still be 30 n but i'm not sure.

c) determine the magnitude and reaction of the net impulse on the firecracker system during the explosion (from t=0.4 to t=0.6). explain.

i did p=m*v=(30)(0.2)=6 but i'm not sure if this is right

d) use the impulse momentum theorem to determine the change in magnitude and direction of momentum of the firecracker system during the explosion.

draw a vector diagram for initial, change, and final momentum of the top, bottom, and system as a whole.

Asmall object with mass 0.200 kg swings back and forth on the lower end of a light rope that is 3.00 m long. the upper end of the rope is attached to the ceiling. as the object swings through its lowest position, where the rope is vertical, the speed of the object is 5.80 m/s. at this point in the motion, what is the tension in the rope? (use g = 9.80 m/s2.)
