Answer:

20J

Explanation:

In a collision, whether elastic or inelastic, momentum is always conserved. Therefore, using the principle of conservation of momentum we can first get the final velocity of the two bodies after collision. This is given by;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v          ---------------(i)

Where;

m₁ and m₂ are the masses of first and second objects respectively

u₁ and u₂ are the initial velocities of the first and second objects respectively

v  is the final velocity of the two objects after collision;

From the question;

m₁ = 2.0kg

m₂ = 8.0kg

u₁ = 5.0m/s

u₂ = 0        (since the object is initially at rest)

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

(2.0 x 5.0) + (8.0 x 0) = (2.0 + 8.0)v

(10.0) + (0) = (10.0)v

10.0 = 10.0v

v = 1m/s

The two bodies stick together and move off with a velocity of 1m/s after collision.

The kinetic energy(KE₁) of the objects before collision is given by

KE₁ = \frac{1}{2}m₁u₁² +  \frac{1}{2}m₂u₂²       ---------------(ii)

Substitute the appropriate values into equation (ii)

KE₁ = (\frac{1}{2} x 2.0 x 5.0²) +  (\frac{1}{2} x 8.0 x 0²)

KE₁ = 25.0J

Also, the kinetic energy(KE₂) of the objects after collision is given by

KE₂ = \frac{1}{2}(m₁ + m₂)v²      ---------------(iii)

Substitute the appropriate values into equation (iii)

KE₂ = \frac{1}{2} ( 2.0 + 8.0) x 1²

KE₂ = 5J

The kinetic energy lost (K) by the system is therefore the difference between the kinetic energy before collision and kinetic energy after collision

K = KE₂ - KE₁

K = 5 - 25

K = -20J

The negative sign shows that energy was lost. The kinetic energy lost by the system is 20J

A square-based shipping crate is being designed that must contain a volume of 16 ft3 . The material that is used for the base an
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

volume V=16 ft^3

Suppose base is square with side L

height of crate is h

Volume V=L^2\times h

16=L^2\times h

Cost of top and bottom area c_1=3L^2

Cost of Side area c_2=4Lh\times 2=8Lh=8L\times \frac{16}{L^2}=\frac{128}{L}

Total Cost C=c_1+c_2

Total Cost C=3L^2+\frac{128}{L}

Differentiate C w.r.t Length

\frac{dC}{dL}=6L-\frac{128}{L^2}

L^3=\frac{128}{6}

L=2.75 ft

h=\frac{16}{2.75^2}=11.46 ft

Dimensions are L\times L\times h=2.75\times 2.75\times 11.46

During a solar eclipse, the Moon, Earth, and Sun all lie on the same line, with the Moon between the Earth and the Sun.
lord [1]

Answer:

(a) F_{sm} = 4.327\times 10^{20}\ N

(b) F_{em} = 1.983\times 10^{20}\ N

(c) F_{se} = 3.521\times 10^{20}\ N

Solution:

As per the question:

Mass of Earth, M_{e} = 5.972\times 10^{24}\ kg

Mass of Moon, M_{m} = 7.34\times 10^{22}\ kg

Mass of Sun, M_{s} = 1.989\times 10^{30}\ kg

Distance between the earth and the moon, R_{em} = 3.84\times 10^{8}\ m

Distance between the earth and the sun, R_{es} = 1.5\times 10^{11}\ m

Distance between the sun and the moon, R_{sm} =  1.5\times 10^{11}\ m

Now,

We know that the gravitational force between two bodies of mass m and m' separated by a distance 'r' is given y:

F_{G} = \frac{Gmm'_{2}}{r^{2}}                             (1)

Now,

(a) The force exerted by the Sun on the Moon is given by eqn (1):

F_{sm} = \frac{GM_{s}M_{m}}{R_{sm}^{2}}

F_{sm} = \frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\times 7.34\times 10^{22}}{(1.5\times 10^{11})^{2}}

F_{sm} = 4.327\times 10^{20}\ N

(b) The force exerted by the Earth on the Moon is given by eqn (1):

F_{em} = \frac{GM_{s}M_{m}}{R_{em}^{2}}

F_{em} = \frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}\times 7.34\times 10^{22}}{(3.84\times 10^{8})^{2}}

F_{em} = 1.983\times 10^{20}\ N

(c) The force exerted by the Sun on the Earth is given by eqn (1):

F_{se} = \frac{GM_{s}M_{m}}{R_{es}^{2}}

F_{se} = \frac{6.67\times 10^{- 11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}\times 5.972\times 10^{24}}{((1.5\times 10^{11}))^{2}}

F_{se} = 3.521\times 10^{20}\ N
