The plates are assumed to travel along the floor surface, such their initial

velocity along the floor plane is (zero) is used for the calculation

The speed and direction of the third piece are √2·v and 225° respectively

Reasons:

Let, m represent the mas of the plate pieces.

Let the direction of piece 1 be along the x-axis, and the direction of piece 2 be along the y-axis, we have;

$\vec{v}_1$ = v·i

$\vec{v}_2$ = v·j

Let v₃ represent the speed of piece 3

Taking the initial speed of the plate as v₁, by conservation of linear momentum, we have;

(m + m + m)·v₁ = v·i·m + v·j·m + v₃·m

Initial velocity along the horizontal x and y direction is zero, therefore;

(m + m + m)·v₁ = 0 = v·i·m + v·j·m + v₃·m

v₃·m = -(v·i·m + v·j·m)

v₃ = -(v·i + v·j)

The magnitude of the velocity of the third piece, |v₃| = √((-v)² + (-v)²) = √(2·v²)

The magnitude of the velocity of the third piece, |v₃| = √2·v

Given that the direction of the third piece is in the negative x and y directions, we have;

$\displaystyle Direction \ of \ third \ piece,\ \theta= arctan\ \left(\frac{-v}{-v} \right) =180^{\circ} + 45^{\circ} = \mathbf{225^{\circ}}$

The direction of the third piece is 225°

Speed of the this part is given as

$v_3 = \sqrt2 v$

Also the direction of the velocity of the third part of plate is moving along 135 degree with respect to one part of the moving plate

Explanation:

As we know by the momentum conservation of the system

we will have

P_1 + P_2 + P_3 = P_i

here we know that

P_1 = P_2

the momentum of two parts are equal in magnitude but perpendicular to each other

so we will have

$P_1 + P_2 = \sqrt{P^2 + P^2}$

$P_1 + P_2 = \sqrt2 mv$

now from above equation we have

P_3 = -(P_1 + P_2)

$mv_3 = -(\sqrt 2 mv)$

$v_3 = \sqrt2 v$

Also the direction of the velocity of the third part of plate is moving along 135 degree with respect to one part of the moving plate

absorption lines are where light has been absorbed by the atom thus you see a dip in the spectrum whereas.

emission spectra have spikes in the spectra due to atoms releasing photons at those wavelengths.

the box does not move because you need to use a force greater than 300 n. you are only using 50 n. it needs to at least be 301 n for the box to move because then it is an unbalanced force and it will move the way that the greater force is pushing it. if you use only 300 n it will be a balanced force and will not move because the force you are exerting on the box is the same as its force.

hope this !

im sorry if i went too in depth, i am going to include a link to a video on khan academy that will explain this. hope that you like the video and that it explains more in detail to you.

that is the link.
