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.

As blood passes through the capillary bed in an organ, the capillaries join to form venules (small veins). If the blood speed in
Semenov [28]

Answer:

A_2 = 2.5\ cm^2

Explanation:

given,

velocity factor = 4

Cross-sectional area of venules(A₁) = 10 cm²

cross sectional area of capillaries(A_2) = ?

continuity equation = Q = AV

now,

\dfrac{A_1}{A_2} = \dfrac{V_2}{V_1}

\dfrac{10}{A_2} =4

\dfrac{10}{4} =A_2

A_2 = 2.5\ cm^2

hence, the area of capillaries is equal to 2.5 cm₂

When water vapor rises into the atmosphere and begins to condense, it releases ________, the energy of a thunderstorm.
zubka84 [21]
The answer is latent heat. The specific latent heat of vaporisation, L_v, of a substance is the energy input required for each kilogram to be converted from liquid to gas by evaporation. The 'specific' means per kilogram, so more generally latent heat of vaporisation is the energy taken in during the process for a given mass.

Here we are not vaporising the substance. We are in fact condensing it, the reverse process. All this means is the latent heat is released as electrostatic potential decreases in the water, as opposed to being absorbed. I hope this helps you :)

A student gives a 5.0 kg box a brief push causing the box to move with an initial speed of 8.0 m/s along a rough surface. The bo
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The time taken to stop the box equals 1.33 seconds.

Explanation:

Since frictional force always acts opposite to the motion of the box we can find the acceleration that the force produces using newton's second law of motion as shown below:

F=mass\times acceleration\\\\\therefore acceleration=\frac{Force}{mass}

Given mass of box = 5.0 kg

Frictional force = 30 N

thus

acceleration=\frac{30}{5}=6m/s^{2}

Now to find the time that the box requires to stop can be calculated by first equation of kinematics

The box will stop when it's final velocity becomes zero

v=u+at\\\\0=8-6\times t\\\\\therefore t=\frac{8}{6}=4/3seconds

Here acceleration is taken as negative since it opposes the motion of the box since frictional force always opposes motion.

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The magnitude of change in momentum is (2mv).

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by the product of mass and velocity with which it is moving.

Let the mass of ball is m. A tennis player smashes a ball of mass m horizontally at a vertical wall. The ball rebounds at the same speed v with which it struck the wall.

Initial speed of the ball is v and final speed, when it rebounds, is (-v). The change in momentum is given by :

p = final momentum - initial momentum

p=-mv-mv\\\\p=-2mv

So, the magnitude of change in momentum is (2mv).
