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.

1) A train accelerates from 36 km/hr to 54 km/hr in 10<br> s. Find acceleration?
Crank

Answer: Given:

Initial velocity= 36km/h=36x5/18=10m/s

Final velocity =54km/h=54x5/18=15m/s

Time =10sec

Acceleration = v-u/ t

=15-10/10=5/10=1/2=0.5 m/s2

Distance =s=?

From second equation of motion:

S=ut +1/2 at^2

=10*10+1/2*0.5*10*10

=100+25

=125m

So distance travelled 125m

Hope it helps you

Caves are formed from:
Ratling [72]
Caves are formed by the dissolution of limestone. Rainwater picks up carbon dioxide from the air and as it percolates through the soil, which turns into a weak acid. This slowly dissolves out the limestone along the joints, bedding planes and fractures, some of which become enlarged enough to form caves

A race car drives one lap around a race track that is 500 meters in length.
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

a) 0

Explanation:

A) since he is going around a race track, his initial position is 0m, and his ending position is also 0m, so his displacement is 0. Yes, his distance is 500m, but his displacement is 0, and he did not end up going anywhere for his final position.

B) Distance is total amount traveled, which in this case is 500m, but displacement is 0 as he did not change his position.
