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 1,70 atm, una muestra de gas ocupa 4,25 litros. Si la presión en el gas aumenta a 2.40 atm, ¿cuál será el nuevo volumen?
statuscvo [17]

At 1.70 atm, a gas sample occupies 4.25 liters. If the pressure in the gas increases to 2.40 atm, what will the new volume be?

Answer:

3.01L

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Initial pressure, P1  = 1.7atm

Initial volume, V1  = 4.25L

Final pressure, P2  = 2.4atm

Unknown:

Final or new volume, V2  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use Boyle's law which states that "the volume of a fixed mass of a gas varies inversely as the pressure changes, if the temperature is constant".

            P1 V1  = P2 V2

P1 is the initial pressure

V1 is the initial volume

P2 final pressure

V2 final volume

        1.7 x 4.25  = 2.4 x V2

             V2  = 3.01L

A spinning disk is rotating at a rate of 5 rad/s in the positive counterclock-wise direction. If the disk is subjected to an ang
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

ωf = 13 rad/s

Explanation:

  • The angular acceleration, by definition, is just the rate of change of the angular velocity with respect to time, as follows:
  • α = Δω/Δt = (ωf-ω₀) / (tfi-t₀)
  • Choosing t₀ = 0, and rearranging terms, we have

       \omega_{f} = \omega_{o} + \alpha *t  (1)

       where ω₀ = 5 rad/s, t = 4 s, α = 2 rad/s2

  • Replacing these values in (1) and solving for ωf, we get:

        \omega_{f} = 5 rad/s + (2 rad/s2*4 s) = 13 rad/s (2)

  • The wheel's angular velocity after 4s is 13 rad/s.

Someone please help. Describe how electric potential energy, kinetic energy, and work change when two charges of opposite sign a
erik [133]

Answer:

The answer is based on the conservation of energy law; something you should really understand by now.  

For convenience we can hold one of the two charges still; it becomes the frame of reference. And everything we say is in reference to the designated static charge, call it Q.  

So the moving charge, call it q, has total energy TE = PE. It's all potential energy as we start with q not moving.  

It has potential energy because in order to separate q from Q, we had to do work, add energy, on q. And from the COE law, that work added is converted into PE.  

It's a bit like lifting something off the ground. That's work and it becomes GPE. So there's some work, in separating the two charges in the first place.  

But there's more.  

Now we let q go. As opposites attract, q is pulled to Q. And that force from Q is working on q, force over distance. Which means the potential energy q started with is being converted into kinetic energy. q is accelerating and picking up speed.  

And there's more work, done by the EMF on charge q. That converts the PE into KE and the q charge smashes into Q with some kinetic energy.
