In that case, their momentum must be equal. 
So, m1v1 = m2v2
20 * 20 = 40 * v2
v2 = 400 / 40
v2 = 10

In short, Your Answer would be: 10 m/s

Hope this helps!

Two spherical asteroids have the same radius R. Asteroid 1 has mass M and asteroid 2 has mass 1.97·M. The two asteroids are rele
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

0.536\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of one  asteroid 1,m_1=M

Mass of asteroid 2,m_2=1.97 M

Initial distance between their centers,d=13.63 R

Radius of each asteroid=R

d'=R+R=2R

Initial velocity of both asteroids

u=0

We have to find the speed of second asteroid just before they collide.

According to law of conservation of momentum

(m_1+m_2)u=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

(M+1.97 M)\times 0=Mv_1+1.97Mv_2

Mv_1=-1.97 Mv_2

v_1=-1.97v_2

According to law of conservation of energy

Gm_1m_2(\frac{1}{d'}-\frac{1}{d})=\frac{1}{2}m_1v^2_1+\frac{1}{2}m_2v^2_2

GM(1.97M)(\frac{1}{2R}-\frac{1}{13.63R})=\frac{1}{2}M(-1.97v_2)^2+\frac{1}{2}(1.97M)v^2_2

1.97M^2G(\frac{13.63-2}{27.26R})=\frac{1}{2}Mv^2_2(3.8809+1.97)

1.97MG(\frac{11.63}{27.26 R})=\frac{1}{2}(5.8509)v^2_2

v^2_2=\frac{1.97GM\times11.63\times 2}{27.26R\times 5.8509}

v_2=\sqrt{\frac{1.97GM\times11.63\times 2}{27.26R\times 5.8509}}

v_2=0.536\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}

Hence, the speed of second asteroid =0.536\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}

An echo is not heard in a small room.why ? give reason<br>​
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

They can't hear an echo in small room because in it the sound can't be reflected back. For an echo of a sound to be heard,the minimum distance between the source of sound and the walls of the room should be 17.2 m.

An astronaut on Earth notes that in her soft drink an ice cube floats with 9/10 of its volume submerged. If she were instead in
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

B) with 9/10 submerged

Explanation:

m = mass of ice cube

\rho = density of soft drink

V = Volume of soft drink displaced

ice cube floats in the soft drink when the force of buoyancy on it balances its weight. Force of buoyancy acting on the cube in upward direction is same as the weight of the soft drink displaced. hence we can write

weight of ice cube = weight of soft drink displaced

mg = \rho V g

m = \rho V

we see that the acceleration due to gravity cancel out both side and hence it does affect as astronaut is on earth on in a lunar module.

If a car is moving to the left with constantvelocity, one can conclude thatthere mustbe no forces applied to the car.the netforc
Allisa [31]

Answer:

the net force applied to the car is zero.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of an object (a) is directly proportional to the net force applied (F):

a=\frac{F}{m}

where m is the object's mass.

In this problem, the car is moving with constant velocity: this means that the acceleration is zero, a = 0. Therefore, according to the previous equation, the net force must also be zero: F = 0. So, the correct answer is

the net force applied to the car is zero.
