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

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

What is the potential energy of a 3 kilogram-ball that is on the ground?

Aleks [24]

The answer is 0
potential energy= mass• gravity (9.8m/s)• height.
Your mass 3kg. I believe your need to convert this to grams (3000g) and then multiply by 9.8. Since your height is 0 because the ball is on the ground then your potential energy is 0

Unrestrained occupants of a car keep moving during the time the car takes to stop due to ________.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

C.inertia

Explanation:

Inertia is a property of matter to maintain its state of motion.

In this case, if the car was moving along with the people in it when the car stopped, the inertia of the people will cause them to continue moving.

This is why in a crash a person can be shot from the car, due to the inertia he has from his previous state of motion.

The complete sentence is: Unrestrained occupants of a car keep moving during the time the car takes to stop due to inertia. (option C)
