If I spacecraft seems to be Motionless in deep space is given some type of quick push what will happen

1 answer:

3 0

Newtons 3rd law of motion states the every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so in space with no gravity and no friction the ship would move in what ever direction it was pushed forever, until it would reach some kind of gravitational pull.

A skater with a mass of 72 kg is traveling east at 5.8 m/s when he collides with another skater of mass 45 kg heading 60° south

Akimi4 [234]

The final velocity is 5.87 m/s

Explanation:

Given-

mass, $m_{1}$ = 72 kg

speed, $v_{1}$ = 5.8 m/s

$Mass_{2}$ , $m_{2}$ = 45 kg

$speed_{2}$ , $v_{2}$ = 12 m/s

Θ = 60°

Final velocity, v = ?

Applying the conservation of momentum:

$m_{1}$ X $v_{1}$ + $m_{2}$ X $v_{2}$ = ( $m_{1}$ + $m_{2}$ ) v

72 X 5.8 + 45 X 12 X cos 60° = (72 + 45) v

v = 417.6 + 540 X $\frac{0.5}{117}$

v = 417.6 + $\frac{270}{117}$

v = 5.87 m/s

The final velocity is 5.87 m/s

An airplane traveling at one third the speed of sound (i.e., 114 m/s) emits a sound of frequency 3.72 kHz. At what frequency doe

nlexa [21]

Answer:

f'=5.58kHz

Explanation:

This is an example of the Doppler effect, the formula is:

$f'=\frac{(v+v_o)}{(v+v_s)}f$

Where f is the actual frequency, $f'$ is the observed frequency, $v$ is the velocity of the sound waves, $v_o$ the velocity of the observer (which is negative if the observer is moving away from the source) and $v_s$ the velocity of the source (which is negative if is moving towards the observer). For this problem:
