The moon's craters are remnants of meteorite collisions. suppose a fairly large asteroid that has a mass of 5.00×10^12 kg (about

a kilometer across) strikes the moon at a speed of 15.0 km/s. at what speed does the moon recoil after the perfectly inelastic collision (the mass of the moon is 7.36×x10^22 kg)

The moon will recoil at the speed of  1.02 x 10⁻⁹ km/s.

From the given question:

  • The mass of steroid = 5.00 x 10¹² kg  
  • Velocity of asteroid V1 = 15.0 km/s
  • Mass of moon = 7.36 x 10²² kg  
  • The recoil velocity of moon = ?
  • Where, the mass of steroid = M1
  • The velocity of asteroid = V1
  • The mass of the moon = M2

Therefore, we should determine V2

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

According to the question, supposing external forces acted on them (perfectly inelastic collision), then momentum is conserved. This also implies that their forces are equal and opposite in all instant.

Therefore, the law of conservation of momentum can express as:

M1 x V1 = M2 x V2

V2 = M1 x V1 / M2

If you substitute the value, then we have:

V2 = 5.00 x 10¹² kg x 15.0 / 7.36 x 10²² kg

V2 = 1.02 x 10⁻⁹ km/s.

Conservation of momentum basically describes Newton’s third of motion. It is commonly used to describe collision between two bodies. However, if two bodies collide with each other, the forces of these two bodies are the same and opposite at the same time.

<u>Given:</u>

Mass of asteroid, M1 = 5.00*10¹² kg

Velocity of asteroid V1 = 15.0 km/s

Mass of moon, M2 = 7.36*10²² kg

<u>To determine:</u>

The recoil velocity of moon, V2

<u>Explanation:</u>

Since the collision is perfectly inelastic, momentum is conserved. therefore,

M1 * V1 = M2* V2

V2 = M1*V1/M2 =  5.00*10¹² *15.0 /7.36*10²²  = 1.02*10⁻⁹ km/s

What is the mole fraction of ethanol when 10.00 ml of pure ethanol is combined with 2.00 ml of water? the volume of 10 ml of the
GenaCL600 [577]
The mole fraction is calculated using the formula:

mole fraction of component A = # of moles of component A / # of total moles of the solution.

A) number of moles of ethanol

To calculate the number of moles of ethanol, you need its density, which will permit you to determine the mass of the 10.00 ml, and then convert into moles using the molar mass of ethanol.

The normal density of ethanol is 0.789 g/ml

density = mass / volume => mass = density  * volume = 0.789 g/ml * 10.00 ml = 7.890 g

Molar mass of ethanol = 46.07 g/mol

number of moles = mass / molar mass = 7.890g / 46.07 g/mol = 0.1713 mol

B) number of moles of water

density of water = 1.00 g/mol

mass of water = density * volume = 1.00 g/mol * 2.00 ml = 2.00 g

number of moles of water = mass / molar mass = 2.00 g / 18.0 g/mol = 0.111  mol

C) mole fraction

mole fraction of ethanol = number of moles of ethanol / number of moles of solution

number of moles of ethanol = 0.1713 / (0.1713 + 0.111) = 0.1713 / 0.2824 = 0.607

Answer: 0.607

The volume of the final solution may  be calculated by adding the volume of the two components. This is 10.00 ml of ethanol + 2.00 ml of water makes 12.00 ml of solution.

It is not clear what the second question is meant for. Some context is missing. If you know density and you know maqss (or can calculate the mass from other data) you do not need to measure the volume.
