A gadget of mass 21.85 kg floats in space without motion. Because of some internal malfunction, the gadget violently breaks up i

nto 3 fragments flying away from each other. The first fragment has mass m1 = 6.42 kg and speed v1 = 6.8 m/s while the second fragment has mass m2 = 8.26 kg and speed v2 = 3.54 m/s. The angle between the velocity vectors ~v1 and ~v2 is θ12 = 64 ◦ . What is the speed v3 of the third fragment? Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

v_3=8.622\ m.s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of the gadget, m=21.85\ kg
  • mass of fragment 1, m_1=6.42\ kg
  • mass of fragment 2, m_2=8.26\ kg
  • velocity of fragment 1, v_1=6.8\ m.s^{-1}
  • velocity of fragment 2, v_2=3.54\ m.s^{-1}
  • angle between the velocity 1 & 2, \theta=64\ ^{\circ}

<u>Now the mass of the third part:</u>

m_3=m-(m_1+m_2)

m_3=21.85-(6.42+8.26)

m_3=7.17\ kg

<u>The momentum of the gadget before and after collision is equal:</u>

m_3.v_3=m_1.v_1\cos\ \frac{\theta}{2} +m_2.v_2\cos \frac{\theta}{2}

7.17\times v_3=(6.42\times6.8+8.26\times3.54)\times \cos \frac{64}{2}

v_3=8.622\ m.s^{-1}

The net force acting on the ball below is ___ N
yKpoI14uk [10]

The net force applied to the object equals the mass of the object multiplied by the amount of its acceleration." The net force acting on the soccer ball is equal to the mass of the soccer ball multiplied by its change in velocity each second (its acceleration).

When performing the spike the ball should be hit with the ?
VMariaS [17]

Answer:

When you are performing spike it's most effective to strike the ball from the right or left side at a sharp downward angle. Whether you are spiking the ball from the right or left front position, position yourself behind the 10-foot line (attack line), which is the line that is about four steps away from the net.

The Hubble Space Telescope in orbit above the Earth has a 2.4 m circular aperture. The telescope has equipment for detecting ult
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Option d

The minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is 4.8x10^{-8}rad.  

Explanation:

The resulting image in a telescope that will be gotten from an object is a diffraction pattern instead of a perfect point (point spread function (PSF)).

That diffraction pattern is gotten because the light encounters different obstacles on its path inside the telescope (interacts with the walls and edges of the instrument).

 

The diffraction pattern is composed by a central disk, called Airy disk, and diffraction rings.    

 

The angular resolution is defined as the minimal separation at which two sources can be resolved one for another, or in other words, when the distance between the two diffraction pattern maxima is greater than the radius of the Airy disk.

The angular resolution can be determined in analytical way by means of the Rayleigh criterion.          

\theta = 1.22\frac{\lambda}{D}  (1)

Where \lambda is the wavelength and D is the diameter of the telescope.

Notice that it is necessary to express the wavelength in the same units than the diameter.

\lambda = 95nm \cdot \frac{1x10^{-9}m}{1nm} ⇒ 9.5x10^{-8}m

Finally, equation 1 can be used.

\theta = 1.22(\frac{9.5x10^{-8}m}{2.4m})

\theta = 4.8x10^{-8}rad              

Hence, the minimum angular separation between two objects that the Hubble Space Telescope can resolve is 4.8x10^{-8}rad.

What's a difference between mercury and oxygen?<br> (They both are elements)
borishaifa [10]

--  There are 80 protons in the nucleus of every atom of Mercury,
but only 8 of them in the nucleus of an atom of Oxygen.

-- Mercury must be warmer than 357°C in order to boil, but Oxygen
must only be warmer than -183°C.

--  Mercury must be colder than -39°C in order to freeze, but Oxygen
must be colder than -219°C.

--  Oxygen is required for human life.  Mercury is a deadly poison.
