A comet fragment of mass 1.96 × 1013 kg is moving at 6.50 × 104 m/s when it crashes into Callisto, a moon of Jupiter. The mass o

f Callisto is 1.08 × 1023 kg. The collision is completely inelastic. Assuming for this calculation that Callisto's initial momentum is zero kg · m/s, what is the recoil speed of Callisto immediately after the collision?

Answer:

Recoil speed, 1.17\times 10^{-5}\ m/s                          

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the comet fragment, m_1=1.96\times 10^{13}\ kg

Speed of the comet fragment, v_1=6.5\times 10^4\ m/s

Mass of Callisto, m_2=1.08\times 10^{23}\ kg

The collision is completely inelastic. Assuming for this calculation that Callisto's initial momentum is zero. So,

m_1v_1=(m_2+m_2)V

V is recoil speed of Callisto immediately after the collision.

V=\dfrac{m_1v_1}{(m_2+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{1.96\times 10^{13}\times 6.5\times 10^4}{(1.96\times 10^{13}+1.08\times 10^{23})}\\\\V=1.17\times 10^{-5}\ m/s

So, the recoil speed of Callisto immediately after the collision is 1.17\times 10^{-5}\ m/s

C. Series

Consider resistors in a circuit - if all the resistors in the circuit are in series and one of the resistors fails then no current can flow thru the circuit,

If the resistors are in parallel then then each resistor experiences the same voltage drop regardless of whether or not any resistor in particular is carrying current.

I am trying to find the magnitude of a resultant vector. Do i take inconsideration the negatives when i find the x & y compo
attashe74 [19]
Absolutely !  If you have two vectors with equal magnitudes and opposite
directions, then one of them is the negative of the other.  Their correct
vector sum is zero, and that's exactly the magnitude of the resultant vector.

(Think of fifty football players pulling on each end of the rope in a tug-of-war. 
Their forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, and the flag that
hangs from the middle of the rope goes nowhere, because the resultant
force on it is zero.)

This gross, messy explanation is completely applicable when you're totaling up
the x-components or the y-components.

Displacement vectors of 4km north, 2km south, 5km north, 5km south combine to a total displacement of
goldfiish [28.3K]

<u>Answer</u>

The combined displacement is 2km north


<u>Explanation</u>


Since displacement is a vector quantity, we take into account the direction.


Good for us all the displacement vectors are in the same dimension, so we can make north positive and south negative or vice-versa.


We now add to obtain,

4+-2+5+-5

This will simplify to

=4-2+5-5=2

Therefore the combined displacement is 2km north
