Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.550 m/s intend to dock. The first has a mass of 2.50 ✕ 10

3 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ✕ 103kg. If the two satellites collide elastically rather than dock, what is their final relative velocity? Adopt the reference frame in which the second satellite is initially at rest and assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite.

Answer: Their final relative velocity is -0.412 m/s.

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation,

      m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2} = (m_{1} + m_{2})v

Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

      m_{1}v_{1} + m_{2}v_{2} = (m_{1} + m_{2})v

     2.50 \times 10^{3} kg \times 0 m/s + 7.50 \times 10^{3} kg \times -0.550 m/s = (2.50 \times 10^{3} kg + 7.50 \times 10^{3} kg)v

           -4.12 \times 10^{3} kg m/s = (10^{4} kg) v

                   v = \frac{-4.12 \times 10^{3} kg m/s}{10^{4} kg}

                      = -0.412 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that their final relative velocity is -0.412 m/s.

A certain digital camera having a lens with focal length 7.50 cmcm focuses on an object 1.70 mm tall that is 4.70 mm from the le
Crank

Answer:

a. 7.62cm

b. Real and inverted

c. 2.76 cm

d. 3450

Explanation:

We proceed as follows;

a. the lens equation that relates the object distance to the image distance with the focal length is given as follows;

1/f = 1/p + 1/q

making q the subject of the formula;

q = pf/p-f

From the question;

p = 4.70m

f = 7.5cm = 0.075m

Substituting these, we have ;

q = (4.7)(0.075)/(4.7-0.075) = 0.3525/4.625 = 0.0762 = 7.62 cm

b. The image is real and inverted since the image distance is positive

c. We want to calculate how tall the image is

Mathematically;

h1 = (q/p)h0

h1 = (7.62/4.70)* 1.7

h1 = 2.76 cm

d. We want to calculate the number of pixels that fit into this image

Mathematically:

n = h1/8 micro meter

n = 2.76cm/8 micro meter = 2.76 * 10^-2/8 * 10^-6 = 3450

The only statement that makes sense as to which one describes an effect of changes in Earth's magnetic field is the first one - <span>Southern lights are seen at high altitude places like Alaska.
Normally, Southern lights are seen around the South Pole, which means that it is quite odd for them to be seen in Alaska, which is near the North Pole.</span>

A van starts off 152 miles directly north from the city of Springfield. It travels due east at a speed of 25 miles per hour. Aft
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

12.84 miles per hour

Explanation:

Given:

Vertical distance of starting point of van from Springfield (d) = 152 miles

Speed in east direction (s) = 25 mph

Distance traveled in east direction (e) = 91 miles

Let the direct distance from Springfield of the van be 'x' at any time 't'.

Now, from the question, it is clear that, the vertical distance of van is fixed at 152 miles and only the horizontal distance is changing with time.

Now, consider a right angled triangle SNE representing the given situation.

Point S represents Springfield, N represents the starting point of van and E represents the position of van at any time 't'.

SN = d = 152 miles (fixed)

Now, using the pythagorean theorem, we have:

SE^2=SN^2+NE^2\\\\x^2=d^2+e^2\\\\x^2=(152)^2+e^2----(1)

Now, differentiating both sides with respect to time 't', we get:

2x\frac{dx}{dt}=0+2e\frac{de}{dt}\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{e}{x}\frac{de}{dt}

Now, we are given speed as 25 mph. So, \frac{de}{dt}=25\ mph

Also, when e=91\ mi, we can find 'x' using equation (1). This gives,

x^2=23104+(91)^2\\\\x=\sqrt{31385}=177.16\ mi

Now, plug in the values of 'e' and 'x' and solve for \frac{dx}{dt}. This gives,

\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{91}{177.16}\times 25\\\\\frac{dx}{dt}=12.84\ mph

Therefore, the distance between the van and Springfield is changing at a rate of 12.84 miles per hour
