6. A 145-g baseball moving 30.5 m/s strikes a stationary 5.75-kg brick resting on small rollers so it moves without significant
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

momentum of baseball before collision

mass x velocity

= .145 x 30.5

= 4.4225 kg m /s

momentum of brick after collision

= 5.75 x 1.1

= 6.325 kg m/s

Applying conservation of momentum

4.4225 + 0 = .145 x v + 6.325 , v is velocity of baseball after collision.

v = - 13.12 m / s

b )

kinetic energy of baseball  before collision = 1/2 mv²

= .5 x .145 x 30.5²

= 67.44 J

Total kinetic energy before collision = 67.44 J

c )

kinetic energy of baseball after collision = 1/2 x .145 x 13.12²

= 12.48 J .

 kinetic energy of brick after collision

= .5 x 5.75 x 1.1²

= 3.48 J

Total kinetic energy after collision

= 15.96 J

A system gains 757 kJ757 kJ of heat, resulting in a change in internal energy of the system equal to +176 kJ.+176 kJ. How much w
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

581 kJ, work was done by the system

Explanation:

According to the first law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U = Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the system

Q is the heat absorbed by the system (positive if absorbed, negative if released)

W is the work done by the system (positive if done by the system, negative if done by the surrounding)

In this problem,

Q=+757 kJ

\Delta U = +176 kJ

Therefore the work done by the system is

W=Q-\Delta U=757 kJ-176 kJ=+581 kJ

And the positive sign means the work is done BY the system.

The mass of jupiter is 300 times the mass of the earth. Jupiter orbits the sun with Tjupiter = 11.9 yr in an orbit with Rjupiter
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

c) 11.9 yr

Explanation:

The orbital period is proportional to r^(3/2) and does not depend on the satellite's mass. Any object at Jupiter position will have the same orbital period regardless of mass.

By keppler's law  we know that

T^2= r^3

T= orbital time period

r= mean distance of the planet from the Sun.

clearly, The orbital period does not depend on the satellite's mass

there, the correct answer will be c= 11.9 yr.
