(15pts) A hungry 12.0 kg fish is coasting from west to east at 75 cm/s when it suddenly swallows a 1 kg fish swimming towards it

faust18 [17]

Answer:

The speed of the big fish after swallowing the small fish is 0.38 m/s.

Explanation:

Consider west to east direction as positive and the opposite direction as negative.

Given:

Mass of big fish (m₁) = 12.0 kg

Initial velocity of big fish (u₁) = 75 cm/s = 0.75 m/s

Mass of small fish (m₂) = 1 kg

Initial velocity of small fish (u₂) = -4 m/s (Direction is opposite to u₁)

After swallowing the small fish, both the fishes move together with same velocity. Let the velocity be 'v'.

So, as there are no effects of drag or any other forces, the given scenario can be considered as a case of inelastic collision where the objects move together with same velocity after collision.

The momentum is conserved in inelastic collision. Therefore,

Initial momentum of the fishes = Final momentum of the fishes

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v\\\\v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}$

Now, plug in the given values and solve for 'v'. This gives,

$v=\frac{12.0\times 0.75+1\times (-4)}{12.0+1}\\\\v=\frac{9-4}{13}\\\\v=\frac{5}{13}=0.38\ m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the big fish after swallowing the small fish is 0.38 m/s

If the kinetic energy of an electron is 4.1e-18 j, what is the speed of the electron? (you can use the approximate (nonrelativis

arlik [135]

The kinetic energy of the electron is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where $m=9.1 \cdot 10^{-31} kg$ is the mass of the electron and v its speed. Since we know the value of the kinetic energy, $K=4.1 \cdot 10^{-18} J$ , we can find the value of the speed v:
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2K}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2\cdot 4.1 \cdot 10^{-18}J}{9.1 \cdot 10^{-31}kg} } = 3\cdot 10^6 m/s$

Modern human lifestyle depends on fossil fuels to generate electricity. Predict and explain the long term effect on the environm

Anit [1.1K]

Fossil fuels are non-renewable sources of energy as they are derived from pre-historic fossils and it is certain that they will deplete in the near future. 
The bigegst disadvantage of the fossil fuels is that they release carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide gasses, which lead to serious environmental issues such as air pollution. They are responsible for the global warming..
Besides the environmental effect, carbon dioxide can also cause serious health complications such as chronic asthma, low lung functioning, chronic bronchitis..
