In a science fiction novel two enemies, Bonzo and Ender, are fighting in outer spce. From stationary positions, they push agains

lara [203]

Answer:

ratio of the masses of the two enemies = 1.7

Explanation:

Applying the law of conservation of momentum,

Momentum fo Bonzo = Momentum of Ender

mv = m'v'................. Equation 1

Where m = mass of Bonzo, v = velocity of Bonzo, m' = mass of Ender, v' = velocity of Ender

m/m' = v'/v............... Equation 2

Where m/m' = ratio of the masses of the two enemies

Given: v = 2.0 m/s, v' = 3.4 m/s

Substitute into equation 2

m/m' = 3.4/2

m/m' = 1.7

Hnece, ratio of the masses of the two enemies = 1.7

You throw a rock straight up from the edge of a cliff. It leaves your hand at time t = 0 moving at 13.0 m/s. Air resistance can

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

0.36s, 2.3s

Explanation:

Let gravitational acceleration g = 9.81 m/s2. And let the throwing point as the ground 0 for the upward motion. The equation of motion for the rock leaving your hand can be written as the following:

$s = v_0t + gt^2/2$

where s = 4 m is the position at 4m above your hand. $v_0 = 13 m/s$ is the initial speed of the rock when it leaves your hand. g = -9.81m/s2 is the deceleration because it's in the downward direction. And t it the time(s) it take to get to 4m, which we are looking for

$4 = 13t - 9.81t^2/2$

$4.905 t^2 - 13t + 4 = 0$

$t= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

$t= \frac{13\pm \sqrt{(-13)^2 - 4*(4.905)*(4)}}{2*(4.905)}$

$t= \frac{13\pm9.51}{9.81}$

t = 2.3 or t = 0.36

Bus starts from rest if the acceleration of the bus is 0.5 MS square what will be the velocity at the end of two minutes and wha

beks73 [17]

Answer:

1. 60 m/s.

2. 3600 m.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 0

Acceleration (a) = 0.5 m/s²

Time (t) = 2 mins

Final Velocity (v) =?

Distance travelled (s) =?

1. Determination of the velocity at the end of 2 minutes.

Initial velocity (u) = 0

Acceleration (a) = 0.5 m/s²

Time (t) = 2 mins = 2 x 60 = 120 secs

Final Velocity (v) =?

v = u + at

v = 0 + (0.5 x 120)

v = 60 m/s

Therefore, the velocity at the end of 2 minutes is 60 m/s.

2. Determination of the distance travelled.

Initial velocity (u) = 0

Acceleration (a) = 0.5 m/s²

Final velocity (v) = 60 m/s

Distance travelled (s) =..?

v² = u² + 2as

60² = 0 + 2 x 0.5 x s

3600 = 1 x s

s = 3600 m

Therefore, the distance travelled is 3600 m.

A hydrogen atom in a galaxy moving with a speed of 6.65×106 m/???? away from the Earth emits light with a wavelength of 5.13×10−

Mumz [18]

Answer:

The observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom is $5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

The actual wavelength of the hydrogen atom, $\lambda_a=5.13\times 10^{-7}\ m$

A hydrogen atom in a galaxy moving with a speed of, $v=6.65\times 10^6\ m/s$

We need to find the observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom. The speed of galaxy is given by :

$v=c\times \dfrac{\lambda_o-\lambda_a}{\lambda_a}$

$\lambda_o$ is the observed wavelength

$\lambda_o=\dfrac{v\lambda_a}{c}+\lambda_a\\\\\lambda_o=\dfrac{6.65\times 10^6\times 5.13\times 10^{-7}}{3\times 10^8}+5.13\times 10^{-7}\\\\\lambda_o=5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m$

So, the observed wavelength on Earth from that hydrogen atom is $5.24\times 10^{-7}\ m$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
