Answer:

m2  = 83.3 g

Explanation:

by conservation of momentum principle we have

m_1v_{i1} + m_2v_{i2} = m_2v_{f2}

as both sphere has same speed so v_{i2} = v_{i1}

m_2 = \frac{m_1}[\frac{v_f2}{v_{f1}}+1}

from conservation of kinetic energy principle we have

\frac{1}{2}m_1v^{2}_{i1} + \frac{1}{2}m_2v^{2}_{i2} = \frac{1}{2}m_2v^{2}_f2

v_{f1} = \sqrt {\frac{(m_1+m_2) v^2_i1}{m_2}

v_{f1} =  v_{i2}\sqrt {\frac{(m_1+m_2)}{m_2}

\frac{v_{f1}}{v_{i2}} =\sqrt {\frac{(m_1+m_2)}{m_2}

substituting this value in above equation to get m2 value

m_2 = \frac{m_1}{\sqrt {\frac{(m_1+m_2)}{m_2}+1}}

solving for m2 we  get

m2 = \frac{m_1}{3}

m_1 = 250 g

      =\frac{250}{3}

  m2  = 83.3 g

Phobos's Orbit. Phobos orbits Mars at a distance of 9,380 km from the center of the planet and has a period of 0.3189 days. Assu
Elenna [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relation between time period of moon in the orbit around a planet can be given by the following relation .

T² = 4 π² R³ / GM

G is gravitational constant , M is mass of the planet , R is radius of the orbit and T is time period of the moon .

Substituting the values in the equation

(.3189 x 24 x 60 x 60 s)²  = 4 x 3.14² x ( 9380 x 10³)³ / (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x M)

759.167 x 10⁶ = 8.25 x 10²⁰ x 39.43 / (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x M )

M = .06424  x 10²⁵

= 6.4 x 10²³ kg .

<h3>Meaning of a respiratory system</h3>

A respiratory system is a biological system found in both plants and animals, which includes organs and structures used for exchanging gas between the organisms and its environments.

A respiratory system is a network or chain or organs and tissues that enables breathing.

In conclusion, the respiratory system is one that is very important to understand.

Write about the similarities and differences between kinetic and potential energy. Include specific, real world example in your
lord [1]

Answer:

Energy is transformed from potential to kinetic and vice versa

Explanation:

The energy is transformed from mechanical to kinetic energy when the object changes its position with respect to a reference point, where it loses height but increases its speed. When the object is at maximum height with respect to a reference point, it will have its maximum potential energy value. When the object passes through the reference point it will have potential energy equal to zero, but this energy will become kinetic energy.

The most characteristic and real example is that of a pendulum at one end, as can be seen in the attached image.

When the pendulum is located at the top end, as shown in Figure 1, at that point the maximum potential energy will be held. Then the pendulum is released and when it passes through the reference point and its height is zero, with respect to that point, all potential energy will have become kinetic energy in the same way at this point the maximum speed of the pendulum will be set.
