By the law of momentum conservation:-
=>m¹u¹ + m²u² = m1v1 + m²v² {let East is +ve}
=>u¹ + u² = v¹ + v² {as m1=m2}
=>3.5 - 2.75 = v1-1.5
<span>
=>v¹ = 2.25 m/s (East) </span>
Hello!
momentum is p=mv so if the velocity is decreased by a factor of 2, which is 1/2 the value, then the momentum of that object will decrease by the same factorial.
Hope this helps, any questions please ask. Thank you!
Answer: D. 0.57
Explanation:
The formula to calculate the eccentricity 
of an ellipse is (assuming the moon's orbit in the shape of an ellipse):
Where:
is the apoapsis (the longest distance between the moon and its planet)
is the periapsis (the shortest distance between the moon and its planet)
Then:
This is the moon's orbital eccentricity
