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.

Two point charges, a +45nC charge X and a +12nC charge Y are separated by a distance of 0.5m.
Gnoma [55]

A) Calculate the resultant electric field strength at the midpoint between the charges.

Qx is the charge at X and Qy is the charge at Y.

E at midpoint = k×Qx/0.25² - k×Qy/0.25²

k = 9×10⁹Nm²C⁻², Qx = 45nC, Qy = 12nC

E = 4752N/C

Well done.

B) Calculate the distance from X at which the electric field strength is zero.

Let D be some point between X and Y for which the net E field is 0.

Let d be the distance from X to D.

Set up the following equation:

E at D = k×Qx/d² - k×Qy/(0.5-d)² = 0

Do some algebra to solve for d:

k×Qx/d² = k×Qy/(0.5-d)²

Qx/d² = Qy/(0.5-d)²

Qx(0.5-d)² = Qyd²

(0.5-d)√Qx = d√Qy

0.5√Qx-d√Qx = d√Qy

d(√Qx+√Qy) = 0.5√Qx

d = (0.5√Qx)/(√Qx+√Qy)

Plug in Qx = 45nC, Qy = 12nC

d ≈ 330mm

C) Calculate the magnitude of the electric field strength at the point P on the diagram below.

First determine the angles of the triangle. The sides of the triangle are 0.3m, 0.4m, and 0.5m, so this is a right triangle where the angle between the 0.3m and 0.4m sides is 90°

∠Y = tan⁻¹(0.4/0.3) = 53.13°

∠X = 90-∠Y = 36.87°

Determine the horizontal component of E at P:

Ex = E from Qx × cos(∠X) - E from Qy × cos(∠Y)

Ex = k×Qx/0.4²×cos(36.87°) - k×Qy/0.3²×cos(53.13°)

Ex = 1305N/C

Determine the vertical component of E at P:

Ey = E from Qx × sin(∠X) - E from Qy × sin(∠Y)

Ey = k×Qx/0.4²×sin(36.87°) - k×Qy/0.3²×sin(53.13°)

Ey = 2479N/C

Use the Pythagorean theorem to determine the magnitude of E at P:

E = √(Ex²+Ey²)

E ≈ 2802N/C

I drop an egg from a certain distance and it takes the egg 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. How high up was the egg?
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

<em>B. 68.6m</em>

Explanation:

<u>Free Fall Motion </u>

When a body is left to move in the air with no friction, the motion is ruled only by the force of gravity. The vertical distance a body travels in the air after a time t is .

\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}

We know the egg takes 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. The height it was launched from is

\displaystyle y=\frac{(9.8)(3.474)^2}{2}

\displaystyle y=68.54\ m

The closest correct option is

B. 68.6m

Some hypothetical alloy is composed of 12.5 wt% of metal A and 87.5 wt% of metal B. If the densities of metals A and B are 4.27
densk [106]

Answer:

The number of atoms in the unit cell is 2, the crystal structure for the alloy is body centered cubic.

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of metal A = 12.5%

Weight of metal B = 87.5%

Length of unit cell = 0.395 nm

Density of A = 4.27 g/cm³

Density of B= 6.35 g/cm³

Weight of A = 61.4 g/mol

Weight of B = 125.7 g/mol

We need to calculate the density of the alloy

Using formula of density

\rho=n\times\dfrac{m}{V_{c}\times N_{A}}

n=\dfrac{\rho\timesV_{c}\times N}{m}....(I)

Where, n = number of atoms per unit cells

m = Mass of the alloy

V=Volume of the unit cell

N = Avogadro number

We calculate the density of alloy

\rho=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{12.5}{4.27}+\dfrac{87.5}{6.35}}\times100

\rho=5.98

We calculate the mass of the alloy

m=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{12.5}{61.4}+\dfrac{87.5}{125.7}}\times100

m=111.15

Put the value into the equation (I)

n=\dfrac{5.9855\times(0.395\times10^{-9}\times10^{2})^3\times6.023\times10^{23}}{111.15}

n=1.99\approx 2\ atoms/cell

Hence, The number of atoms in the unit cell is 2, the crystal structure for the alloy is body centered cubic.

A 0.40-kg block is attached to the end of a horizontal ideal spring and rests on a frictionless surface. The block is pulled so
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

160N/m

Explanation:

According to Hooke's law which states that the extension of an elastic material is directly proportional to the applied force provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded. Mathematically,

F = ke where

F is the applied force

k is the spring constant

e is the extension

From the formula k = F/e

Since the body accelerates when the block is released, F = ma according to Newton's second law of motion.

The spring constant k = ma/e where

m is the mass of the block = 0.4kg

a is the acceleration = 8.0m/s²

e is the extension of the spring = 2.0cm = 0.02m

K = 0.4×8/0.02

K = 3.2/0.02

K = 160N/m

The spring constant of the spring is therefore 160N/m
