B) 1950-1959
Sputnik I was launched on October 4, 1957
Calculation, add them. 0.85 x 5 = 4.25 Ω
We now that follow newton rules f=ma so net force equal to mass*acceleration=>f=50*1.5=75 N
energy never disappears, for example, if you give some kinetic energy to a ball and it stops few seconds later, friction steals this energy to ground which ball was going on. "Law of Conservation of Energy" tell us that energy can't disappear
Linear momentum has to be conserved. It was zero before the thread eas burned ... when nothing was moving ... so the momentum of the masses moving in opposite directions has to add up to zero. ... Momentum = mass times speed. ... In one direction, you have 5 kg times 1/5 m/s= 1 kg-m/s. ... We need 1 kg-m/s in the other direction. ... 7 kg times speed = 1 kg-m/s. ...
