Answer:
P = 5.22 Kg.m/s
Explanation:
given,
mass of the projectile = 1.8 Kg
speed of the target = 4.8 m/s
angle of deflection = 60°
Speed after collision = 2.9 m/s
magnitude of momentum after collision = ?
initial momentum of the body = m x v
= 1.8 x 4.8 = 8.64 kg.m/s
final momentum after collision
momentum along x-direction
P_x = m v cos θ
P_x = 1.8 x 2.9 x cos 60°
P_x = 2.61 kg.m/s
momentum along y-direction
P_y = m v sin θ
P_y = 1.8 x 2.9 x sin 60°
P_y = 4.52 kg.m/s
net momentum of the body


P = 5.22 Kg.m/s
momentum magnitude after collision is equal to P = 5.22 Kg.m/s
Answer:
t = 4.17 hours
Explanation:
given,
The distance between Sun and Neptune, d = 4.5 billion Km
= 4.5 x 10⁹ Km
= 4.5 x 10¹¹ m
The velocity of light, c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
The velocity is always equal to displacement by the time.
<em>V = d / t m/s</em>
∴ t = d / V
= 4.5 x 10¹¹ m / 3 x 10⁸ m/s
= 15,000 s
= 4.17 h
Hence, the time taken by the light rays to reach the Neptune is, t = 4.17 h
