Answer

given.

Mass of big fish = 15 Kg

speed of big fish = 1.10 m/s

mass of the small fish = 4.50 Kg

speed of the fish after eating small fish =?

a) using conservation of momentum

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁+m₂) V

15 x 1.10 + 4.50 x 0 = (15 + 4.5)V

16.5 = 19.5 V

V = 0.846 m/s

b) Kinetic energy before collision

KE_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2

KE_1 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 15 \times 1.1^2 + \dfrac{1}{2}m_2\times 0^2

KE₁ = 9.075 J

Kinetic energy after collision

KE_2= \dfrac{1}{2}(15+4.5)\times 0.846^2

KE₂ = 6.98 J

Change in KE = 6.98 - 9.075 = -2.096 J

hence,

mechanical energy was dissipated during this meal = -2.096 J

I'm trying to find the potential energy of a planet using formula G M(sun) x m(planet) / r. I have given G - newton's graviation
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

-5.39\times10^{33} J

Explanation:

Potential energy =

-\frac{GMm}{r}\\=-\frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times1.99\times10^{30}\times5.97\times10^{24}}{147/1\times10^{9}}\\=-5.39\times10^{33} J

In a horse cart system when would there be the smallest amount of acceleration
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

well... when the horse stops/rests, or if it is blocked by a surface or anything of solid background.

Explanation:

If it is going up a hill or slope and it just starts to move that would also be considered the smallest amount of acceleration this can go for many things when it just starts to move. but I would go for when it rests amounting to your fitting of the question.

What are (a) the charge and (b) the charge density on the surface of a conducting sphere of radius 0.20 m whose potential is 240
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

(a) charge q=5.33 nC

(b) charge density σ=10.62 nC/m²

Explanation:

Given data

radius r=0.20 m

potential V=240 V

coulombs constant k=9×10⁹Nm²/C²

To find

(a) charge q

(b) charge density σ

Solution

For (a) charge q

As

V_{potential}=kq/r\\ q=rV_{potential}/k\\q=\frac{(0.20)(240)}{9*10^{9} }\\ q=5.333*10^{-9}C\\or\\ q=5.33nC

For (b) charge density

As charge density σ is given as:

σ=q/(4πR²)

σ=(5.333×10⁻⁹) / (4π×(0.20)²)

σ=10.62 nC/m²

3.<br> is the force on a dropped ball.<br> gravity<br> acceleration
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Speeding up While Falling Down

Gravity is a force that pulls objects down toward the ground. When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion.
