Answer:

m_1=8\ kg,\ m_2=6\ kg,\ v_1=12\ m/s, v_2=4\ m/s,\ v_1'=-6\ m/s,\ v_2'=28\ m/s

Explanation:

<u>Conservation of Momentum </u>

The total momentum of a system of two particles is

p=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

Where m1,m2,v1, and v2 are the respective masses and velocities of the particles at a given time. Then, the two particles collide and change their velocities to v1' and v2'. The final momentum is now

p'=m_1v_1'+m_2v_2'

The momentum is conserved if no external forces are acting on the system, thus

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v_1'+m_2v_2'

Let's put some numbers in the problem and say

m_1=8\ kg,\ m_2=6\ kg,\ v_1=12\ m/s, v_2=4\ m/s,\ v_1'=-6\ m/s,\ v_2'=28\ m/s

(8)(12)+(6)(4)=(8)(-6)+(6)(28)

96+24=-48+168

120=120

It means that when the particles collide, the first mass returns at 6 m/s and the second continues in the same direction at 28 m/s

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

mechanical energy per unit mass is 887.4 J/kg

power generated is 443.7 MW

Explanation:

given data

average velocity = 3 m/s

rate = 500 m³/s

height h = 90 m

to find out

total mechanical energy and power generation potential

solution

we know that mechanical energy is sum of potential energy and kinetic energy

so

E = \frac{1}{2}×m×v² + m×g×h    .............1

and energy per mass unit is

E/m =  \frac{1}{2}×v² + g×h

put here value

E/m =  \frac{1}{2}×3² + 9.81×90

E/m = 887.4 J/kg

so mechanical energy per unit mass is 887.4 J/kg

and

power generated is express as

power generated = energy per unit mass ×rate×density

power generated = 887.4× 500× 1000

power generated = 443700000

so power generated is 443.7 MW

If the sun had twice the mace how would that affect the gravitational force of the sun
daser333 [38]

Answer:  Gravity is the force that keeps planets in orbit around the Sun. Gravity alone holds us to Earth's surface.

Planets have measurable properties, such as size, mass, density, and composition. A planet's size and mass determines its gravitational pull.

A planet's mass and size determines how strong its gravitational pull is.

Models can help us experiment with the motions of objects in space, which are determined by the gravitational pull between them.
