A comet fragment of mass 1.96 × 1013 kg is moving at 6.50 × 104 m/s when it crashes into Callisto, a moon of Jupiter. The mass o

f Callisto is 1.08 × 1023 kg. The collision is completely inelastic. Assuming for this calculation that Callisto's initial momentum is zero kg · m/s, what is the recoil speed of Callisto immediately after the collision?

Answer:

Recoil speed, 1.17\times 10^{-5}\ m/s                          

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the comet fragment, m_1=1.96\times 10^{13}\ kg

Speed of the comet fragment, v_1=6.5\times 10^4\ m/s

Mass of Callisto, m_2=1.08\times 10^{23}\ kg

The collision is completely inelastic. Assuming for this calculation that Callisto's initial momentum is zero. So,

m_1v_1=(m_2+m_2)V

V is recoil speed of Callisto immediately after the collision.

V=\dfrac{m_1v_1}{(m_2+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{1.96\times 10^{13}\times 6.5\times 10^4}{(1.96\times 10^{13}+1.08\times 10^{23})}\\\\V=1.17\times 10^{-5}\ m/s

So, the recoil speed of Callisto immediately after the collision is 1.17\times 10^{-5}\ m/s

Find the momentum of a 25 kg remote
telo118 [61]

Answer:

100

Explanation:

Momentum (P) = Mass (M) × Velocity (V)

Momentum = 25kg × 4.0m/s

Momentum = 100kg m/s

"Two long parallel wires 24.0 cm apart carry currents of 3.0 A and 8.0 A in the same direction. How far from the wire carrying 3
avanturin [10]

Answer:

6.5454 m

Explanation:

Let the distance from the wire carrying 3 A current is x

Then the distance from the the carrying current 8 A is 24-x

We know that magnetic field due to long wire is given by B=\frac{\mu _0i}{2\pi r}

It is given that magnetic field is zero at some distance so

\frac{\mu _0i_1}{2\pi x}=\frac{\mu _0i_2}{2\pi (24-x)}

Here i_1=3\ A \ and\  i_2=8\ A

So \frac{3}{x}=\frac{8}{24-x}=6.5454\ m

A hiker begins a trip by first walking 25.0 km southeast from her car. She stops and sets up her tent for the night. On the seco
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

(a)

x_1=17.68km\\y_1=-17.68km\\x_2=20km\\y_2=34.64km

(b) r=41.32km

\alpha =24.23^o

Explanation:

Let us take the north direction to be the positive y-axis and the east to be positive x-axis.

First day:

25.0 km southeast, which implies 45^o south of east. The y-component will be negative and the x-component will be positive.

x_1=25cos45^o=17.68km

y_1=-25sin45^o=-17.68km

Second day:

She starts off at the stopping point of last day. This time, both the y- and x-components are positive.

x_2=40cos60^o=20km

y_2=40sin60^o=34.64km

Therefore, total displacements:

x=x_1+x_2=(17.68+20)km=37.68km

y=y_1+y_2=(-17.68+34.64)km=16.96km

Magnitude of displacements,

r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=41.32km

Direction,

\alpha =tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})=24.23^o

Chemicals in clouds can cause rainstorms to occur
Brilliant_brown [7]
The answer to the given statement above would be FALSE. It is not true that chemicals in clouds can cause rainstorms to occur. Rather, rainstorms happen when cumulonimbus clouds are formed. Rainstorms include <span>moisture, unstable air and lift. Hope this answers your question.</span>
