Momentum=mass × velocity
momentum= 200×30
=6000kgm/s

A 15 kg mass is moving at 7.50 meters per second on a horizontal, frictionless surface. What is the total work that must be done

sashaice [31]

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) x (speed)²

At 7.5 m/s, the object's KE is (1/2) (7.5) (7.5)² = 210.9375 joules

At 11.5 m/s, the object's KE is (1/2) (7.5) (11.5)² = 495.9375 joules

The additional energy needed to speed the object up from 7.5 m/s
to 11.5 m/s is (495.9375 - 210.9375) = <em>285 joules</em>.

That energy has to come from somewhere. Without friction, that's exactly
the amount of work that must be done to the object in order to raise its
speed by that much.

A certain tuning fork vibrates at a frequency of 215 Hz while each tip of its two prongs has an amplitude of 0.832 mm. (a) What

Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of vibration, f = 215 Hz

Amplitude, A = 0.832 mm

(a) Let T is the period of this motion. It is given by the following relation as :

$T=\dfrac{1}{f}$

$T=\dfrac{1}{215}$

$T=4.65\times 10^{-3}\ s$

(b) Speed of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

It can be given by :

$v=f\times \lambda$

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{215\ Hz}$

$\lambda=1.59\ m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A white dwarf is:______.

bija089 [108]

Answer:

the exposed core of a dead star, supported by electron degeneracy pressure.

Explanation:

A white dwarf is a low luminosity exposed core of a dead star having mass comparable to the sun but volume comparable to the earth . So its density is very high . These stars have lost the capacity to generate energy through the process of fusion . Due to high gravitational energy , it goes on shrinking but ultimately balanced by electron degeneracy pressure. It is not a main sequence star as it has lost the power of fusion .

An uncrewed mission to the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, is launched from the Earth's surface as a projectile with an initial

Anna [14]

Answer:

42.96 km/s

Explanation:

From the conservation of Energy

$(PE+KE)_i=(PE+KE)_f\\\Rightarrow -\frac{GmM}{R}+\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2=0+\frac{1}{2}mv_f^2$

Mass gets cancelled

$-\frac{GM}{R}+\frac{1}{2}v_i^2=0+\frac{1}{2}v_f^2\\\Rightarrow -2\frac{GM}{R}+v_i^2=v_f^2\\\Rightarrow -v_e^2+v_i^2=v_f^2\\\Rightarrow v_f=\sqrt{v_i^2-v_e^2}$

$v_e=\sqrt{\frac{2Gm}{R}}$ = Escape velocity of Earth = 11.2 km/s

$v_i$ = Velocity of projectile = 44.4 km/s

$v_f=\sqrt{44.4^2-11.2^2}\\\Rightarrow v_f=42.96\ km/s$

The velocity of the spacecraft when it is more than halfway to the star is 42.96 km/s
