A hungry 173 kg lion running northward at 80.9 km/hr attacks and holds onto a 36.2 kg Thomson's gazelle running eastward at 63.8
1 answer:
Answer:
77.9 km/h
Explanation:
We determine the initial momenta of lion and gazelle.
Lion: 173 × 80.9 = 13995.7
Gazelle: 36.2 × 63.8 = 2309.56
Since they are running in the same direction, we add their momenta to get the total initial momentum:
After the collision, they are together and have a common velocity. Hence, the total final momentum is
By the principle of conservation of momentum, the total initial momentum is equal to the total final momentum, provided there are no external forces.

Answer:
1.55 m
Explanation:
The potential produced by a point charge, is inversely proportional to the distance from the charge to the point where the potential is being calculated, as follows:
As it only depends from the distance r, we can conclude that if the potential is the same for any point to a distance r from the point charge, the equipotencial surface must be a sphere of radius r.
Replacing q = +1.7*10⁻⁸ C, and k = 9*10⁹ N*m²/C², and V, by 120 V and 54 V, we can find the distance from the charge, to the points where we are calculating the potential V, as follows:
The distance between both points, is just the difference between the radius of both spheres, as follows:
r₂ - r₁ = 1.55 m
