Ball A, with a mass of 20 kg., is moving to the right at 20 m/s. At what velocity should ball B, with a mass of 40 kg, move so t

hat they both come to a standstill upon collision?

Zero, a hypothetical planet, has a mass of 5.3 x 1023 kg, a radius of 3.3 x 106 m, and no atmosphere. A 10 kg space probe is to

Andrej [43]

(a) $3.1\cdot 10^7 J$

The total mechanical energy of the space probe must be constant, so we can write:

$E_i = E_f\\K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f$ (1)

where

$K_i$ is the kinetic energy at the surface, when the probe is launched

$U_i$ is the gravitational potential energy at the surface

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy of the probe

$U_i$ is the final gravitational potential energy

Here we have

$K_i = 5.0 \cdot 10^7 J$

at the surface, $R=3.3\cdot 10^6 m$ (radius of the planet), $M=5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg$ (mass of the planet) and m=10 kg (mass of the probe), so the initial gravitational potential energy is

$U_i=-G\frac{mM}{R}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10 kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg)}{3.3\cdot 10^6 m}=-1.07\cdot 10^8 J$

At the final point, the distance of the probe from the centre of Zero is

$r=4.0\cdot 10^6 m$

so the final potential energy is

$U_f=-G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10 kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg)}{4.0\cdot 10^6 m}=-8.8\cdot 10^7 J$

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the final kinetic energy:

$K_f = K_i + U_i - U_f = 5.0\cdot 10^7 J+(-1.07\cdot 10^8 J)-(-8.8\cdot 10^7 J)=3.1\cdot 10^7 J$

(b) $6.3\cdot 10^7 J$

The probe reaches a maximum distance of

$r=8.0\cdot 10^6 m$

which means that at that point, the kinetic energy is zero: (the probe speed has become zero):

$K_f = 0$

At that point, the gravitational potential energy is

$U_f=-G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(10 kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{23}kg)}{8.0\cdot 10^6 m}=-4.4\cdot 10^7 J$

So now we can use eq.(1) to find the initial kinetic energy:

$K_i = K_f + U_f - U_i = 0+(-4.4\cdot 10^7 J)-(-1.07\cdot 10^8 J)=6.3\cdot 10^7 J$

Explain why you cannot use mass or volume alone to identify substances.

Alex17521 [72]

Objects can have the same mass (but different <span>compositions). Only mass or volume cannot tell you if the object is solid or vo</span>lumes) or same volume (but different masses)

A piece of purple plastic is charged with 3. 13×106 extra electrons compared to its neutral state. what is its net electric char

horsena [70]

A piece of purple plastic is charged with 3. 13×106 extra electrons compared to its neutral state, then the net electric charge in coulomb would be - 5.008×10⁻¹³ coulombs.

<h3>What is an electric charge?</h3>

Charged material experiences a force when it is exposed to an electromagnetic field due to the physical property of electric charge. You can have a positive or negative electric charge (commonly carried by protons and electrons respectively). Unlike charges attract one another while like charges repel one another. We refer to an object as neutral if it has no net charge.

The charge on one electron is -1.6 ×10⁻¹⁹ coulomb.

Then the charge on the 3.13×10⁶ extra electrons compared to its neutral state

=-1.6×10⁻¹⁹ ×(3.13×10⁶)

As given in the problem A piece of purple plastic is charged with 3.13×10⁶ extra electrons compared to its neutral state then the net electric charge in coulombs would be - 5.008×10⁻¹³ coulombs.
