Question

A plate falls vertically to the floor and breaks up into three pieces, which slide along the floor. Immediately after the impact, a 300-g piece moves along the x-axis with a speed of 2 00 m/s and a 330-g piece moves along the y-axis with a speed of 1.50 m/s. The third piece has a mass of 100 g In what direction does the third piece move? You can neglect any horizontal forces during the crash 175.6degree from the x-axis 263.4degree from the x-axis 87.8degree from the x-axis 219 5degree from the x-axis 131.7degree from the x-axis

Explanation / Answer

.3*2i and .330*1.5j

so we want the direction, so tan(x)=.330*1.5/.3*2

39.52+180=219.52 degrees from the x axis.

So option D
