Question 3 O pts (15 points - Upload your work showing details of how you arrived at your answer for FULL credit) While working at Wild Wings Cafe, Megan drops a large plate by accident and it breaks into three pieces with wings and sauces and fries flying everywhere. The plate pieces fly apart parallel to the floor. As the plate falls, its momentum has only a vertical component, and no component parallel to the floor. After the collision, the component of the total momentum parallel to the floor must remain zero, since the net external force acting on the plate has no component parallel to the floor. Using the data shown in the drawing find (a) the mass of piece 1 and (b) the mass of piece 2. 3.00 m/s 25.0 1.79 m/s 11 M2 45.0 mg = 1.30 kg 3.07 m/s Upload Choose a File

Answer 1

Conservation of momentum In-x-dirn (m) 3 x Sin 2 jo (m2) x 1.79x Casuso m = 1.00168572 m, In y-dirn (1-3 3)(3-07) = (mx xgx Cws 250) + (max 1-798 Sinus) 1.26572 M2 3.991 2.718923 m, t 3-991 2.718923 m+ 1.265?2 ( 1.00168572) m, m, a 11.001 leg ma 1.0027 kg
