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

A constant friction force of 25 Nacts on a 65 kg skier for 20
Radda [10]

Answer:

The skier's change in velocity is 7.69 meters per second.

Explanation:

The Newton's second law tells force is equal to the change on the linear momentum of a body:

\sum\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{d\overrightarrow{p}}{dt}

If we approximate the differential \frac{d\overrightarrow{p}}{dt} to \frac{\Delta\overrightarrow{p}}{\Delta t}:

\sum\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{\Delta\overrightarrow{p}}{\Delta t}

Using that linear momentum is mass times velocity:

\sum\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{m\Delta\overrightarrow{v}}{\Delta t}

Solving for \Delta\overrightarrow{v}:

\Delta\overrightarrow{v}=\frac{\Delta t\sum\overrightarrow{F}}{m}=\frac{(20\,s)(25\,N)}{65\,kg}

\Delta\overrightarrow{v}=7.69\,\frac{m}{s}

If a car accelerates uniformly from rest to 15 meters
Talja [164]

Answer:

1.125m/s^2

Explanation:

Since acceleration is defined as the rate of change in velocity with respect to time. Mathematically

v^2= u^2+2as

Where a,v,u and s are the acceleration, final velocity, initial velocity and distance respectively.

a = ?

u = 0m/s

v = 15m/s

s = 100m

Substituting the values into the formula above

v^2= u^2+2as

15^2=0^2+2×a×100

225= 0+200a

225= 200a

Divide both sides by 200

225/200 = 200a/200

a= 1.125m/s^2

Hence the acceleration of the car is 1.125m/s^2.

Note that the car accelerated uniformly from rest, that was why the initial velocity was 0m/s

Why does a batsman striking a cricket ball follow through?​
Over [174]

A good follow-through maintains flow in the motion. It is to hit 'smooth', rather than to hit 'hard'. It is to maintain a certain 'looseness' in the swing, rather than 'tension' or 'over-hitting' the ball with too much power.

Greeley [361]
Light wave gets to you first
Light travels faster than sound and is around 300000000 m/s which is faster than sound waves. And by experience, when you are looking out the window, you can see a quick flash of light (lightning), light moves very fast
