Answer:

v = -10⁵ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of asteroid,v' = 100 m/s

mass of superman = m

mass of asteroid,M = 1000 m

recoil velocity of superman,v= ?

using conservation of momentum.

m u + M u' = m v + M v'

initial velocity of asteroid and superman is equal to  zero

 0 + 0 = m v + 1000 m x 100

m v = -100000 m

    v = -10⁵ m/s

superman's velocity after throwing the asteroid is equal to v = -10⁵ m/s

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

63 m

Explanation:

Average speed of swimming = 45 m/min

Time = 1 minute 24 seconds

Converting time into minutes:

Formula:

Putting values, we get.

Thus, Alex swims for 63 m in 1 minute and 24 seconds.

Please help me find the answer ​
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

26b) 66.7%

27) 500 N

Explanation:

26.a) In a two pulley system, the load is attached to one of the pulleys.  The other pulley is attached to a fixed surface, as well as one end of the rope.  The other end of the rope goes around moving pulley, then around the fixed pulley.

26.b) Mechanical advantage is the ratio between the forces:

MA = load force / effort force

Efficiency is the ratio between the work:

e = work done on load / work done by effort

Work is force times distance.

e = (F load × d load) / (F effort × d effort)

Rearranging:

e = (F load / F effort) × (d load / d effort)

e = MA × (d load / d effort)

In a two pulley system, the load moves half the distance of the effort.  So the efficiency is:

e = (4/3) × (1/2)

e = 2/3

e = 66.7%

27) In a three pulley system, the load moves a third of the distance of the effort.

e = (F load / F effort) × (d load / d effort)

0.40 = (600 N / F) × (1/3)

F = 500 N

The half-life of cobalt-60 is 5.26 years. If 50 g are left after 15.8 years, how many
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

400 g

Explanation:

The computation of the number of grams in the original sample is shown below:

Given that

half-life = 5.26 years

total time of decay = 15.8 years

final amount = 50.0 g

Now based on the above information  

number of half-lives past is

=  15.8 ÷ 5.26

= 3 half-lives

Now

3 half-lives = 1 ÷ 8 remains = 50.0 g

So, the number of grams would be

= 50.0 g × 8

= 400 g
