What is a linear motion

Physics

Linear motion (also called rectilinear motion) is a motion along a straight line, and can therefore be described mathematically using only one spatial dimension.

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.450 m/s intend to dock. The first has a mass of 4.50 ✕ 10
vovangra [49]
Ok, so adopting that the 2nd satellite is at rest and that we're not moving anywhere near the speed of light (so no special relativity considerations), we can just add the two speed together, and say the 1st satellite is moving at 0.9m/s at the 2nd satellite. We can then set up our conservation of momentum equation, m₁v₁+m₂v₂ = m₁v₃+m₂v₄, where I'm calling v 1 and 2 the initial velocities of satellite 1 and 2 and v 3 and 4 the final velocities of satellite 1 and 2 respectively. We know, based on our chosen frame, that v₂ = 0, so that falls out to leave m₁v₁ = m₁v₃+m₂v₄, but we don't know v₃ or v₄, so we need another equation. Let's set up conversation of energy (elastic collisions conserve energy), where we only have to worry about kinetic energy (K = 1/2mv²) for each satellite before and after the collision. So we get 1/2m₁v₁²+1/2m₂v₂² = 1/2m₁v₃²+1/2m₂v₄². Now we have 2 equations and two unknown variables so let's solve with substitution. Let's solve the momentum equation for v₃, v₃ = (m₁v₁ - m₂v₄)/m₁, sub that into the energy equation, cancel the 1/2's and let's drop the v₂ terms since it's zero and we get: m₁v₁² = m₁((m₁v₁ - m₂v₄)/m₁)²+m₂v₄², then after some algebra we get v₄ = sqrt(m₁v₁/((v₁ - m₂/m₁)²+m₂)), then we plug in numbers v₄ = sqrt((4.5*10³*0.9/((0.9-(7.5/4.5))²+7.5*10³) = 0.73 m/s for the 2nd satellite after the collision. Then go back to v₃ = (m₁v₁ - m₂v₄)/m₁ and plug in numbers now that we know v₄ and we get v₃ = (4.5*10³*0.9 - 7.5*10³*0.73)/(4.5*10³) = -0.3167 m/s for the 1st satellite.

it takes 1.4 minutes for Jonny to get to class which is a distance of 82 meters away s. what is Johnny’s average speed in second
Marat540 [252]
We have to use the equation speed=distance/time.
We want the average speed in second so we have to change the minutes into seconds. We can do this by multiplying the minutes by 60 (60seconds in 1 minute). 60x1.4= 84 seconds.
Speed=distance/time, distance is 82 and time is 84 so speed=82/84
Average speed = 0.98ms^-1 (2dp)

Which is colder, 0°C or 20°F?
Mashutka [201]

In order to compare the two temperatures, we need to convert 20°F into Celsius. The formula we need to use is:

T(^{\circ}C)=\frac{5}{9}(T(^{\circ}F)-32)

Substituting 20°F, we find

T(^{\circ}C)=\frac{5}{9}(20^{\circ}F-32) =-6.7^{\circ}C


And this is less than 0°C, so the answer is

20°F is colder than 0°C.
