If you go to high you’ll run out of oxygen and possibly be blown off due to high winds.

A 0.311 kg tennis racket moving 30.3 m/s east makes an elastic collision with a 0.0570 kg ball moving 19.2 m/s west. Find the ve

Troyanec [42]

The velocity of tennis racket after collision is 14.96m/s

Explanation:

Given-

Mass, m = 0.311kg

u1 = 30.3m/s

m2 = 0.057kg

u2 = 19.2m/s

Since m2 is moving in opposite direction, u2 = -19.2m/s

Velocity of m1 after collision = ?

Let the velocity of m1 after collision be v

After collision the momentum is conserved.

Therefore,

m1u1 - m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

$v1 = (\frac{m1-m2}{m1+m2})u1 + (\frac{2m2}{m1+m2})u2$

$v1 = (\frac{0.311-0.057}{0.311+0.057})30.3 + (\frac{2 X 0.057}{0.311 + 0.057}) X-19.2\\\\v1 = (\frac{0.254}{0.368} )30.3 + (\frac{0.114}{0.368}) X -19.2\\ \\v1 = 20.91 - 5.95\\\\v1 = 14.96$

Therefore, the velocity of tennis racket after collision is 14.96m/s

1. A student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag.

Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

(a) Displacement of an object is the shortest path covered by it.

In this problem, a student is biking to school. She travels 0.7 km north, then realizes something has fallen out of her bag. She travels 0.3 km south to retrieve her item. She then travels 0.4 mi north to arrive at school.

0.4 miles = 0.64 km

displacement = 0.7-0.3+0.64 = 1.04 km

(b) Average velocity = total displacement/total time

t = 15 min = 0.25 hour

$v=\dfrac{1.04\ km}{0.25\ h}\\\\v=4.16\ km/h$

Hence, this is the required solution.

The part of a vompressional wave that has the lowest density is the

Yuri [45]

Longitudinal waves have energy that vibrates parallel to the medium - a compression is the region of greatest density and the rarefaction the region of highest density .The rarefaction (much like the maximum amplitude in a transverse wave) has a region of lowest density, typically situated in the exact center of the region.

A compound consisting of only phosphorous and oxygen atoms is 43.64 % phosphorus by mass.The molecular mass/formula weight of th

DanielleElmas [232]

First, we calculate the mass of Phosphorous present:
283.88 x 0.4364
= 123.88 amu
Atomic mass of P is 31 amu

moles of P = mass / Ar
= 123.88 / 31
= 4.0 moles

We know that one mole of substance has 6.02 x 10²³ particles
Atoms of P = 4 x 6.02 x 10²³
= 2.41 x 10²⁴ atoms

Two identical conducting spheres are placed 80.0 cm apart. One is given a charge of 5.8 C and the other is given a charge of 6.4

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: $5.214(10)^{11} N$

Explanation:

According to Coulomb's Law:

"The electrostatic force $F_{E}$ between two point charges $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance $d$ that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them".
