A 0.5 kg ball travelling at a velocity of 1 m/s collides with a 1.5 kg ball at rest, calculate the

Physics
1 answer:
irakobra [83]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

0.25m/s

Explanation:

Mass, m1 = 0.5kg

m2= 1.5kg

Velocity before collision for mass 1, u1 = 1m/s

Velocity before collision for mass 2, u2 = 0m/s because it is at rest.

Velocity after collision, V = ?

From law of conservation of linear momentum

Sum of momentum before collision = sum of momentum after collision.

Remember momentum = mass x velocity

Therefore,

m1u1 +m2u2 = (m1 + m2)V

0.5x1 + 1.5x0 = (1.5+0.5)V

0.5+0 = 2V

2V = 0.5

Divide both sides by 2

V = 0.5/2

V = 0.25m/s

A ship sets out to sail to a point 154 km due north. An unexpected storm blows the ship to a point 72 km due east of its startin
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

<h2>170km</h2>

Explanation:

If a ship sets out to sail to a point 154 km due north and an unexpected storm blows the ship to a point 72 km due east of its starting point, then the ships distance from the original destination can be gotten by finding the displacement of the ship and this can be gotten by using pythagoras theorem.

Let D be the unknown displacement

According to the theorem;

D² = 154² + 72²

D² = 23716 + 5184

D² = 28900

D = √28900

D = 170km

<em>This means that the ship must now sail a distance of 170km for it to reach its original destination.</em>

Earth has a mass of 5.97 x 1024kg, and a mean radius of 6.38 x 10m. What would be the orbita
trapecia [35]

Answer:

v = 1630 m/s

T = 5.78 x 10^5 s

Explanation:

The tangential speed of the satellite can be found by requiring that the gravitational force on the satellite is equal to the centripetal force:

G\frac{Mm}{(R+h)^2}=m\frac{v^2}{R+h}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M=5.97 x 1024kg is the Earth's mass

m is the satellite's mass

R=6.38 \cdot 10^6 m is the Earth's radius

h=1.44\cdot 10^8 m is the altitude of the satellite

v is the speed of the satellite

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.97\cdot 10^{24}kg)}{6.38\cdot 10^6 m+1.44\cdot 10^8 m}}=1627 m/s \sim 1630 m/s

And the period of the orbit is equal to the ratio between the distance covered during one revolution (the circumference of the orbit) and the speed:

T=\frac{2 \pi (R+h)}{v}=\frac{2\pi (6.38\cdot 10^6 m+1.44\cdot 10^8 m)}{1630 m/s}=5.79\cdot 10^5 s

So the correct answer is

v = 1630 m/s

T = 5.78 x 10^5 s

In your own words describe what free fall is
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

u are falling

Explanation:

In Newtonian physics, free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only force acting upon it. In the context of general relativity, where gravitation is reduced to a space-time curvature, a body in free fall has no force acting on it.
