Fragment 2's velocity vector is 80.54°, and the x-axis is at 0.075 and the velocity of the y- axis is 0.46m/s.
We are given that,
Mass of the spring = m = 1.2kg
Speed of the spring = v = 0.05 m/s
Mass of the first fragment = mā = 40 kg
Initial speed of first fragment =uā = 0.9 m/s
mā = 0.8 kg
To find the second segment's velocity using the idea of linear momentum conservation,
Locate the x-axis,
m u cos Īø = mā vā cos Īø + mā vā cos Īø
1.2 x 0.05 x cos (0) = 0 + 0.8 vā cos Īø
vā cosĪø = 0.075
Find the y-axis:
1.2 (0) = -0.4 (0.9) + 0.8 (vā sin Īø)
vā sinĪø = 0.36/0.8
vā sinĪø = 0.45
By solving above two equation we can get ,
tanĪø = 6.0
θ = 80.54°
Putting the value of Īø in y- axis component then we get,
vā sinĪø = 0.45
vā Ā = 0.45/sinĪø
vā = Ā 0.46m/s
Therefore , fragment 2's velocity vector is 80.54°, and the x-axis is at 0.075 and the velocity of the y- axis is 0.46m/s.
