An object of mass 10 kg is moving along positive x- axis with velocity 5 m/s. At some point it breaks into two parts of 6 kg and 4 kg. 6 kg moves making 600 with x –axis and 4 kg moves making -300 with axis. What is velocity of their centre of mass after breaking?

Astudent is performing an experiment comparing sound and light waves. the student gathers the following data. what conclusion does the student most likely make based on this data? light waves always travel the same speed; however, the speed of sound is determined by the medium that it travels through. all sound waves always have the same energy, so the temperature of the medium does not affect wave speed. light needs to vibrate particles, so it travels fastest in tightly packed solids, while sound does not need a medium, so it travels fastest in a gas. tightly packed particles in solids slow down the light waves; however, sound waves make particles bounce into each other, so they travel faster in solids.

1. a net force of 100 newton’s is applied to a wagon for 5 seconds. this causes the wagon to undergo a change in momentum of

The two stars in a certain binary star system move in circular orbits. the first star, alpha, has an orbital speed of 36 km/s. the second star, beta, has an orbital speed of 12 km/s. the orbital period is 137 d. a) what is the mass of the star alpha? b) what is the mass of the star beta?
