A space vehicle is traveling at 4150 km/h relative to the Earth when the exhausted rocket motor (mass 4m) is disengaged and sent

backward with a speed of 79 km/h relative to the command module (mass m). What is the speed of the command module relative to Earth just after the separation? km/h

Answer:

4213.2 Km/h

Explanation:

Given:

Initial Speed of space vehicle relative to Earth, u = 4150 km/h

Mass of rocket motor = 4m

speed of the rocket motor relative to command module , v'  = 79 Km/h

Mass of the command module = m

Now,

let the speed of command module relative to earth be 'v'

From the conservation of momentum, we have

( 4m + m ) × u = m × v + (4m × (v - v'))

or

5m × 4150 = mv + 4mv - 4mv'

or

20750 = 5v - ( 4 × 79 )

or

20750 = 5v - 316

or

v = 4213.2 Km/h

Consider the case in which the clay is launched along Path Y. The sphere of clay is launched with an initial velocity of v0 and
Helen [10]

Answer:

    w = \frac{m}{ml^2 + I R^2 }  v l

Explanation:

Let's form a system formed by the clay sphere and the rod, in this case the angular momentum is conserved

initial instant. Before the crash

          L₀ = m v l

Final moment. After the collision with the clay stuck to the rod

          L_f = I_{total} w

angular momentum is conserved

         L₀ = L_f

         m v l = I_total w

         w = \frac{m}{I_{total} }  v l

the total moment of inertia is the sum of the moments of inertia of the two bodies

the moment of inertia of the rod is

        I_rod = I R²

        I_total = m l² + IR²

we substitute

          w = \frac{m}{ml^2 + I R^2 }  v l

The red light from the ant passed into the lens
s344n2d4d5 [400]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>When red light enters the lens its wavelength decreases but its frequency remains the same. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Lens is made of glass which is a <em>denser medium</em> when compared with air. Thus light will undergo refraction and bend toward the normal. On entering  a denser medium from rarer medium the speed of light decreases.

<em>Speed, frequency and wavelength of an electromagnetic wave</em> are related according to the equation.

<em>                                                                 v=ϑλ </em>

Where is <em>v is the frequency,  λ is the wavelength and v is the speed of the em wave. </em>

On entering the lens the wavelength of the red light as well as speed decreases but the<em> frequency remains the same. </em>

A charged particle creates a(n) _____________field. Once this particle is in motion, this creates a(n) ____________ field.
Fittoniya [83]
A charged particle has an electrostatic field surrounding it.

When the particle is in motion, the moving charge is an
electric current, and that has a magnetic field around it.
