Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.450 m/s intend to dock. The first has a mass of 4.50 ✕ 10

3 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103 kg. If the two satellites collide elastically rather than dock, what is their final relative velocity? Adopt the reference frame in which the second satellite is initially at rest and assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite.

Ok, so adopting that the 2nd satellite is at rest and that we're not moving anywhere near the speed of light (so no special relativity considerations), we can just add the two speed together, and say the 1st satellite is moving at 0.9m/s at the 2nd satellite. We can then set up our conservation of momentum equation, m₁v₁+m₂v₂ = m₁v₃+m₂v₄, where I'm calling v 1 and 2 the initial velocities of satellite 1 and 2 and v 3 and 4 the final velocities of satellite 1 and 2 respectively. We know, based on our chosen frame, that v₂ = 0, so that falls out to leave m₁v₁ = m₁v₃+m₂v₄, but we don't know v₃ or v₄, so we need another equation. Let's set up conversation of energy (elastic collisions conserve energy), where we only have to worry about kinetic energy (K = 1/2mv²) for each satellite before and after the collision. So we get 1/2m₁v₁²+1/2m₂v₂² = 1/2m₁v₃²+1/2m₂v₄². Now we have 2 equations and two unknown variables so let's solve with substitution. Let's solve the momentum equation for v₃, v₃ = (m₁v₁ - m₂v₄)/m₁, sub that into the energy equation, cancel the 1/2's and let's drop the v₂ terms since it's zero and we get: m₁v₁² = m₁((m₁v₁ - m₂v₄)/m₁)²+m₂v₄², then after some algebra we get v₄ = sqrt(m₁v₁/((v₁ - m₂/m₁)²+m₂)), then we plug in numbers v₄ = sqrt((4.5*10³*0.9/((0.9-(7.5/4.5))²+7.5*10³) = 0.73 m/s for the 2nd satellite after the collision. Then go back to v₃ = (m₁v₁ - m₂v₄)/m₁ and plug in numbers now that we know v₄ and we get v₃ = (4.5*10³*0.9 - 7.5*10³*0.73)/(4.5*10³) = -0.3167 m/s for the 1st satellite.

The balanced chemical equation is 2 AlI₃ + 3 HgCl₂\rightarrow 2 AlCl₃ + 3 HgI₂ for the given chemical reaction.

<h3>What is chemical equation?</h3>

Chemical equation is a symbolic representation of a chemical reaction which is written in the form of symbols and chemical formulas.The reactants are present on the left hand side while the products are present on the right hand side.

A plus sign is present between reactants and products if they are more than one in any case and an arrow is present pointing towards the product side which indicates the direction of the reaction .There are coefficients present next to the chemical symbols and formulas .

The first chemical equation was put forth by Jean Beguin in 1615.By making use of chemical equations the direction of reaction ,state of reactants and products can be stated. In the chemical equations even the temperature to be maintained and catalyst can be mentioned.

A 5.00 kg rock whose density is 4300 kg/m3 is suspended by a string such that half of the rock's volume is under water. You may
12345 [234]

Answer:

The tension on the string is  T  =  43.302 \ N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of the rock is m_r = 5.00 \ kg =  5000 \ g

       The density of the rock is \rho  =  4300 \ kg/m^3 =  4.3 g/dm^3

       

Generally the volume of the rock is mathematically evaluated as

          V    =  \frac{m_r}{\rho}

substituting values

        V    =  \frac{5000}{4.3}

       V    =  1162.7 \  dm^3

The volume of the rock immersed in water is

      V_w = \frac{V}{2}  

substituting values

     V_w = \frac{1162.7 }{2}

     V_w = 581.4 \ dm^3

mass of water been displaced by the this volume is

     m_w  = V_w     According to Archimedes principle

=>   m_w =  581.4 \ g

     m_w =  0.5814 \ kg

The weight of the water displace is  

      W _w =  m_w  * g

      W _w =  0.5814  * 9.8

      W _w = 5.698 \ N

The actual weight of the rock is  

      W_r  =  m_r * g

     W_r  =  5.0 *  9.8

     W_r  =  49.0 \ N

The tension on the string is

       T  = W_r - W_w

substituting values

       T  = 49.0 -  5.698

       T  =  43.302 \ N

julia-pushkina [17]
These are the characteristics that apply:

 - In a solution taste sour: which is consequence of the H+ concentration.

- Corrode metals: the H+ ion reacts with the metal producing a salt and water

-Produce hydronium ion in solution: as per the Bronsted - Lowry definition an acid is a substance that donates a proton, H+. This proton will react with H2O to form H3O+ (hydronium), as per this scheme: 

HA + H2O --> A(-) + H3O(+)
