Answer:

0.955286  j

Explanation:

A 500.0 kg module is attached to a 440.0 kg shuttle craft, which moves at 1050. m/s relative to the stationary main spaceship. Then a small explosion sends the module backward with speed 100.0 m/s relative to the new speed of the shuttle craft. As measured by someone on the main spaceship, by what fraction did the kinetic energy of the module and shuttle craft, Ki, increase because of the explosion?

M=500 kg,  m=440 kg

V=1000 m/s, v = 100 m/s

Let relative speed =Vs

Momentum rule says

(M+m)V=mVs+M(Vs-v)

 940(1000)=500(Vs-100)+440Vs

 940000=500Vs-50000+440Vs

 940Vs=940000+50000

 940Vs=990000

 Vs= 990000/940=1053.19 m/s

So, the module speed = Vs-v=1053.19-100=953.19 m/s

Fractional increase in KE is given by;

Total KE after explosion / He before explosion

=500(953.19)2+ 400(1053.19)2/ 940(1000)2= 0.955286

In higher pressure environments, less gas can be dissolved in a solvent. True or False?
densk [106]

Nope.  Just the opposite.

That's why, when you open a new bottle of soda and
let the pressure inside come down to atmospheric
pressure, some of the sparkly gas comes out of solution
and goes "hisss" out of the bottle.  (If you open the bottle
too fast, then some of the soda comes out with the gas.)

What is the best approximate value for the elastic potential energy (EPE) of the spring elongated by 3.0 meters?
klasskru [66]

P.E=0.0675 J

Explanation:

Elastic potential Energy=Force × distance of displacement

The formula to apply is;

P.E=1/2 ks²

where k is the spring constant given as; 1.5 *10^-2 N/m  and s is the displacement

In this case,

s=3

P.E= 1/2 * 1.5 × 10^-2 ×3²

P.E=1.5×10^-2*4.5

P.E=0.0675 J

When the electrons reach the collector, they flow towards the positivly charged grid. The resulting current is measured. Note th
Masja [62]

Answer:

We can conclude by saying that in the beginning current will increase but after sometime, it becomes saturated.

Explanation:

Note: No information on change in number of electron generated.

Since there is a collision, the electrons emitted will not reach the collector at same time. As the voltage is increased, the the speed with which the electrons will reach the collector starts to increase. Due to this, electric current will first increases till all the emitted electrons reach the collector. Since we are not provided with the information that number of electrons generated are changing, after increasing voltage current will increase for some time and then reaches a saturated state.

We can conclude by saying that in the beginning current will increase but after sometime it becomes saturated.

A 60 W light bulb has a resistance of 880 Ω
Andreas93 [3]

<h2>\bf{ \underline{Given:- }}</h2>

\sf{• \:  Power \:  (P) = 60 \:  w}

\sf{•  \: Resistance \:  (R) = 880  \: Ω}
