The earth axis to tilt and orbits the sun
Answer
given,
mass of glider = 0.23 Kg
spring constant = k = 4.50 N/m
spring stretched to 0.130 m
The springs potential energy =
U = 0.038 J
at x = 0,the only energy will be kinetic .
v² = 0.3304
v = 0.575 m/s
displacement of the glider
using conservation of energy
x = 0.678 m
M = mass of the whale = 1000 kg
m = mass of the seal = 200 kg
V = initial velocity of whale before collision with the seal = 6.0 m/s
v = initial velocity of the seal before collision with the whale = 0 m/s
V' = final velocity of two sea creatures after collision = ?
Using conservation of momentum
M V + m v = (M + m) V'
inserting the above values in the equation
(1000 kg) (6.0 m/s) + (200 kg) (0 m/s ) = (1000 kg + 200 kg) V'
6000 kgm/s + 0 kgm/s = (1200 kg) V'
V' = (6000 kgm/s ) /(1200 kg)
V' = 5 m/s
