Conservation of Momentum: A dinner plate falls vertically to the floor and breaks up into three pieces, which slide horizontally along the floor. Immediately after the impact, a 320-g piece moves along the +x-axis with a speed of 2.00 m/s and a 355-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 relative to the +x-axis does the third piece move?
A. 216.9° from the +x-axis
B. 219.8° from the +x-axis
C. 36.9° from the +x-axis
D. 39.9° from the +x-axis
E. 39.8° from the +x-axis

A cylinder containing an ideal gas has a volume of 2.6 m3 and a pressure of 1.5 × 10^5 Pa at a temperature of 300 K. The cylinder is placed against a metal block that is maintained at 900 K and the gas expands as the pressure remains constant until the temperature of the gas reaches 900 K. The change in internal energy of the gas is +6.0 × 10^5 J. How much heat did the gas absorb?
a. 0 b. 3.4E+5 J c. 6.0E+5 J d. 1.4E+6 J e. 7.8E+5 J
