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.

Using a density of air to be 1.21kg/m3, the diameter of the bottom part of the filter as 0.15m (assume circular cross-section),
salantis [7]

Answer:

The  drag coefficient is  D_z  =  1.30512  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The density of air is  \rho_a  = 1.21 \ kg/m^3

     The diameter of bottom part is  d = 0.15 \ m

The  power trend-line  equation is mathematically represented as

      F_{\alpha }  = 0.9226 * v^{0.5737}

let assume that the velocity is  20 m/s

Then

      F_{\alpha }  = 0.9226 * 20^{0.5737}

       F_{\alpha }  = 5.1453 \ N

The drag coefficient is mathematically represented as

      D_z  =  \frac{2 F_{\alpha } }{A \rho v^2 }

Where  

     F_{\alpha } is the drag force

      \rho is the density of the fluid

       v is the flow velocity

       A is the area which mathematically evaluated as

       A = \pi r^2 =  \pi  \frac{d^2}{4}

substituting values

     A =  3.142 *    \frac{(0.15)^2}{4}

     A = 0.0176 \  m^2

Then

   D_z  =  \frac{2 * 5.1453 }{0.0176 * 1.12 *  20^2 }

   D_z  =  1.30512

Which of the following statements correctly describes the models put forth by Ptolemy and Copernicus to explain the universe? A.
FrozenT [24]
The correct option is D. 
The model developed by Ptolemy has a lot of inconsistency and during the middle age additional explanation was offered for the claims made by the model. The model was very complicated because it was based on erroneous assumptions.
Copernicus model was simpler and some of his claims were correct.<span />

If a thermometer measured the temperature in an oven as 400oF five days in a row when the temperature was actually 397oF, this m
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

It can be said to be reliable although it is not valid

Explanation:

This is because Reliability means an indicator of consistency, A measure should produce similar or the same results consistently if it measures the same quantity. So does the thermometer measures over 5days but it is not valid because it deviates from the real value
