In physics, gravity is the natural force that causes things to fall toward the earth. The noun gravity can also mean seriousness or solemnity. Someone who conducts themselves with an air of gravity is someone who takes what they are doing seriously.

A small ball of mass 2.00 kilograms is moving at a velocity 1.50 meters/second. It hits a larger, stationary ball of mass 5.00 k

rewona [7]

The kinetic energy of the small ball before the collision is

   KE = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

   = (1/2) (2 kg) (1.5 m/s)

   =    (1 kg) (2.25 m²/s²)

   =    2.25 joules.

Now is a good time to review the Law of Conservation of Energy:

   Energy is never created or destroyed.
   If it seems that some energy disappeared,
   it actually had to go somewhere.
   And if it seems like some energy magically appeared,
   it actually had to come from somewhere.

The small ball has 2.25 joules of kinetic energy before the collision.
If the small ball doesn't have a jet engine on it or a hamster inside,
and does not stop briefly to eat spinach, then there won't be any
more kinetic energy than that after the collision. The large ball
and the small ball will just have to share the same 2.25 joules.

Two carts have a compressed spring between them and are initially at rest. One of the carts has total mass, including its conten

ladessa [460]

Answer:

A) - 1.8 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that whole system is initially at rest and there is no external force on this system

So total momentum of the system must be conserved

so we will have

$m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = 0$

now plug in all data into above equation

$5(v) + 3(3)$

$5v = -9$

$v = -1.8 m/s$

so correct answer is

A) - 1.8 m/s

A 1 036-kg satellite orbits the Earth at a constant altitude of 98-km. (a) How much energy must be added to the system to move t

Veronika [31]

Answer:

a) The Energy added should be 484.438 MJ

b) The Kinetic Energy change is -484.438 MJ

c) The Potential Energy change is 968.907 MJ

Explanation:

Let 'm' be the mass of the satellite , 'M'(6× $10^{24}$ be the mass of earth , 'R'(6400 Km) be the radius of the earth , 'h' be the altitude of the satellite and 'G' (6.67× $10^{-11}$ N/m) be the universal constant of gravitation.
