In order to find the final velocity of the skier and the trash can lid, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of a system remains constant. Mathematically, in this case:
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₃v₃
Where m₃ and v₃ are the combined mass and velocity.
75*3 + 10*2 = (75 + 10)*v₃
v₃ = 2.88 m/s
The final velocity is 2.88 m/s
Answer:
While traveling downhill, the car’s potential is <u>increasing</u> and kinetic energy is <u>decreasing</u>
Explanation:
hope this helps!
No it won't. It'll vary inversely as the square of the separation.
<span>The angle of refraction is not necessarily equal to the angle
of incidence, whereas the angle of reflection always is.</span>
Answer: Satellite X has a greater period and a slower tangential speed than Satellite Y
Explanation:
According to Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary motion “The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”.
(1)
Where;
is the Gravitational Constant
is the mass of the Earth
is the semimajor axis of the orbit each satellite describes around Earth (assuming it is a circular orbit, the semimajor axis is equal to the radius of the orbit)
So for satellite X, the orbital period 
is:
(2)
Where 
(3)
(4)
For satellite Y, the orbital period 
is:
(5)
Where 
(6)
(7)
This means 
Now let's calculate the tangential speed for both satellites:
<u>For Satellite X:</u>
(8)
(9)
<u>For Satellite Y:</u>
(10)
(11)
This means 
Therefore:
Satellite X has a greater period and a slower tangential speed than Satellite Y
