Within the system of the same star, the period of a planet's orbit is
proportional to the 3/2 power of its distance from the central body.
(Kepler's empirical third law of planetary motion, promoted to being
etched in stone by Newton's gravitation.)

(4) ^ 3/2 = <em>8 times</em> as long.

A disc with a mass of 1 kg moves horizontally to the right with a speed of 7 m/s on a table with negligible friction when it col
Elodia [21]

Answer:

1.6 m/s

Explanation:

First you need to find the momentums of each disc by multiplying their velocities with mass.

disc 1: 7*1= 7 kg m/s

disc 2: 1*9= 9 kg m/s

Second, you need to find the total momentum of the system by adding the momentums of each sphere.

9+7= 16 kg m/s

Because momentum is conserved, this is equal to the momentum of the composite body.

Finally, to find the composite body's velocity, divide its total momentum by its mass. This is because mass*velocity=momentum

16/10=1.6

The velocity of the composite body is 1.6 m/s.

Two bodies fall freely from different heights and reach the ground simultaneously. The time of descent for the first body is 1s
jok3333 [9.3K]
The initial height of the first body is given by:
h_1 =  \frac{1}{2}gt^2
where
g is the gravitational acceleration
t is the time it takes for the body to reach the ground
Substituting t=1 s, we find
h_1 =  \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(1 s)^2=4.9 m

The second body takes takes t=2 s to reach the ground, so it was located at an initial height of
h_2 =  \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(2 s)^2=19.6 m

The second body started its fall 1 second before the first body, therefore when the second body started its fall, the first body was located at its initial height, i.e. at 4.9 m from the ground.
