Answer:
179.47m/s
Explanation:
Using the law of conservation of momentum
m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v
m1 and m2 are the masses
u1 and u2 are the initial velocities
v is the final velocity
Substitute
7750(179)+72(230) = (7750+72)v
1,387,250+16560 = 7822v
1,403,810 = 7822v
v = 1,403,810/7822
v= 179.47m/s
Hence the final velocity of the probe is 179.47m/s
Answer:
a =( -0.32 i ^ - 2,697 j ^) m/s²
Explanation:
This problem is an exercise of movement in two dimensions, the best way to solve it is to decompose the terms and work each axis independently.
Break down the speeds in two moments
initial
v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ
v₀ₓ = 5.25 cos 35.5
v₀ₓ = 4.27 m / s
= v₀ sin θ
= 5.25 sin35.5
= 3.05 m / s
Final
vₓ = 6.03 cos (-56.7)
vₓ = 3.31 m / s
= v₀ sin θ
= 6.03 sin (-56.7)
= -5.04 m / s
Having the speeds and the time, we can use the definition of average acceleration that is the change of speed in the time order
a = ( - v₀) /t
aₓ = (3.31 -4.27)/3
aₓ = -0.32 m/s²
= (-5.04-3.05)/3
= -2.697 m/s²
The best logical answer is A
The formula for the acceleration due to gravity is:
a = Gm/r²
where
G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.6726 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²
m is the mass of planet
r is the radius of planet
So, if they have the same a:
m₁/r₁² = m₂/r₂²
So, if m₁ = m and r₂ = 2r₁,
m/r₁² = m₂/(2r₁)²
m₂ = 4m
<em>Thus, the answer is D.</em>
