Answer:
v1 = 15.90 m/s
v2 = 8.46 m/s
mechanical energy before collision = 32.4 J
mechanical energy after collision = 32.433 J
Explanation:
given data
mass m = 0.2 kg
speed = 18 m/s
angle = 28°
to find out
final velocity and mechanical energy both before and after the collision
solution
we know that conservation of momentum remain same so in x direction
mv = mv1 cosθ + mv2cosθ
put here value
0.2(18) = 0.2 v1 cos(28) + 0.2 v2 cos(90-28)
3.6 = 0.1765 V1 + 0.09389 v2 ................1
and
in y axis
mv = mv1 sinθ - mv2sinθ
0 = 0.2 v1 sin28 - 0.2 v2 sin(90-28)
0 = 0.09389 v1 - 0.1768 v2 .......................2
from equation 1 and 2
v1 = 15.90 m/s
v2 = 8.46 m/s
so
mechanical energy before collision = 1/2 mv1² + 1/2 mv2²
mechanical energy before collision = 1/2 (0.2)(18)² + 0
mechanical energy before collision = 32.4 J
and
mechanical energy after collision = 1/2 (0.2)(15.90)² + 1/2 (0.2)(8.46)²
mechanical energy after collision = 32.433 J
Answer: The origin might be from MARS
Explanation: Meteorites origin are either from Asteroid, Moon or Mars. Their origin is usually classified according to their age after using radioisotope dating. Meteorites that originate from Mars are between the age of 4.5 billion to 200 million years. Since the meteorite in question is only a billion years old, the origin would be from Mars.
Newton's second law gives the relationship between force applied to an object, its mass and its acceleration:

where F is the force, m the mass and a the acceleration.
A force F is applied to football A, whose mass is

, and so the acceleration of this football will be given by (re-arranging the previous equation)

Similarly, the acceleration of football B will be

where

is the mass of football B, and where the force F applied to the two footballs is the same.
Since football A has greater mass than football B,

, if we compare the two previous formula we see that the acceleration of football B is greater than the acceleration of football A:

Therefore, if the same force is applied to the two footballs, football B will accelerate more than football A.
