Answer:

5. 7.452 min

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved, so:

m₁ u₁ + m₂ u₂ = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

0 = (0.695 kg) (-12 m/s) + (59 kg) v

v = 0.1414 m/s

She is 63.2 m away, so the time it takes to reach the shuttle is:

t = 63.2 m / 0.1414 m/s

t = 447.1 s

t = 7.452 min

A pair of toy freight cars, one twice the mass of the other, fly apart when a compressed spring that joins them is released. Acc

saul85 [17]

Answer:

greater acceleration is experienced by the car with lower mass

Explanation:

Since both the toys are connected by same spring so the force due to spring on both the toys will be same and it is given as

$F = kx$

now we know by Newton's II law

$F = ma$

so here we have

$a = \frac{F}{m}$

here we have same force on both the blocks

so acceleration will be more if mass is less

so greater acceleration is experienced by the car with lower mass

A projectile is fired vertically from Earth's surface with

scoray [572]

Answer:

$h=25.52\times10^6 m$

Explanation:

Initial speed, v = 10 x 10^3 m/s

Mass of the earth, M = 6 x 10^24 kg

Radius of the earth, R = 6.4 x 10^6 m

Maximum from the surface of earth, h = ?

Let m = Mass of the projectile

Solution:

Potential energy at maximum height = ( Potential + Kinetic energy ) at the surface

$-G M m / ( R + h )=- G M m / R + (1/2) m v^2$

$- G M / ( R + h ) = - G M / R + (1/2) v^2$

$-2\times G M / ( R + h ) = ( - 2 G M / R ) + v^2$

$-2\times6.67\times10^{-11}\times6\times10^{24}/ ( R + h )$

= $( (- 2\times 6.67\times10^{-11}\times6\times10^{24}) /(6.4\times10^6)} +10000^2$

= $-2.50625\times10^7 J$

$=- 8\times10^{14} / ( R + h )=-2.50625\times 10^7$

$R+h=31.92\times10^{6}$

$h=31.92\times10^{6}-6.4\times10^6$

$h=25.52\times10^6 m$

What causes atoms to bond together<br> ?!?

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

electrostatic attraction

Explanation:

Atoms form chemical bonds with other atoms when there's an electrostatic attraction between them. This attraction results from the properties and characteristics of the atoms' outermost electrons, which are known as valence electrons.

Marysya12 [62]

From the law of conservation of momentum
m1u1+ m2u2= m1v1+ m2v2
110*8+ 110*-10= 110*-10 + 110* v2
v2= 8 m/sec
