An 8 kg mass moving at 8 m/s collides with a 6 kg mass

Physics
1 answer:
steposvetlana [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

10 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum before collision = momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(8 kg)(8 m/s) + (6 kg)(6 m/s) = (8 kg)(5 m/s) + (6 kg) v

64 kg m/s + 36 kg m/s = 40 kg m/s + (6 kg) v

60 kg m/s = (6 kg) v

v = 10 m/s

A planet with a mass one-half that of Earth has a radius that is 3 times that of Earth's radius. What is the gravitational field
stiv31 [10]

The gravitational acceleration of a planet is proportional to the planet's mass, and inversely proportional to square of the planet's radius.

So when you stand on the surface of this particular planet, you feel a force of gravity that is

(1/2) / (3²)

of the force that you feel on the surface of the Earth.

That's <em>(1/18)</em> as much as on Earth.

The acceleration of gravity there would be about <em>0.545 m/s²</em>.  

This is about 12% less than the gravity on Pluto.

I need help with questions 4 and 5 because my teacher is not good with explaining them to a better understanding (Geometry)
Helga [31]
Hello! I can help you with this! 

4. For this problem, we have to write and solve a proportion. We would set this proportion up as 12/15 = 8/x. This is because we're looking for the length of the shadow and we know the height of the items, so we line them up horizontally and x goes with 8, because we're looking for the shadow length. Let's cross multiply the values. 15 * 8 = 120. 12 * x = 12. You get 120 = 12x. Now, we must divide each side by 12 to isolate the "x". 120/12 is 10. x = 10. There. The cardboard box casts a shadow that is 10 ft long.

5. For this question, you do the same thing. This time, you're finding the height of the tower, so you would do 1.2/0.6 = x/7. Cross multiply the values in order to get 8.4 = 0.6x. Now, divide each side by 0.6x to isolate the "x". 8.4/0.6 is 14. x = 14. There. The tower is 14 m tall.

If you need more help on proportions and using proportions in real life situations, feel free to search on the internet to find more information about how you solve them.

Two identical particles of charge 6 μμC and mass 3 μμg are initially at rest and held 3 cm apart. How fast will the particles mo
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The charges will repel each other and go away with increasing velocity , their kinetic energy coming from their potential energy .

Their potential energy at distance d

= kq₁q₂ / d

= 9 x 10⁹ x 36 x 10⁻¹² / 2 x 10⁻² J

= 16.2 J

Their total kinetic energy will be equal to this potential energy.

2 x 1/2 x mv² = 16.2

= 3 x 10⁻⁶ v² = 16.2

v = 5.4 x 10⁶

v = 2.32 x 10³ m/s

When masses are different , total P.E, will be divided between them as follows

K E of 3 μ = (16.2 / 30+3) x 30

= 14.73 J

1/2 X 3 X 10⁻⁶ v₁² = 14.73

v₁ = 3.13 x 10³

K E of 30 μ = (16.2 / 30+3) x 3

= 1.47 J

1/2 x 30 x 10⁻⁶ x v₂² = 1.47

v₂ = .313 x 10³ m/s
