Answer:

we could use the formula, v=u+at,

65=25+a (10), a=4 , since the motion is declerating we have a=-4 m/s2

Write a hypothesis why the moon has very little liquid water.

Llana [10]

Because the Moon has a very small surface area compared to other spacial geo-bodies, it has cooled down much faster than Earth. Any water on the moon would freeze.

Two spaceships leave Earth in opposite directions, each with a speed of 0.60c with respect to Earth. (a) What is the SPEED of sp

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The relative speed of 1 relative to 2 is 0.88c

Explanation:

In relativistic mechanics the relative speed between 2 objects moving in different direction is given by

$v_{ab}=\frac{v_{a}+v_{b}}{1+\frac{v_{a}v_{b}}{c^{2}}}$

Since it is given that

$v_{a}=0.6c\\\\v_{b}=0.6c$

Applying values in the formula we get

$v_{ab}=\frac{0.6c+0.6c}{1+\frac{(0.6c)^{2}}{c^{2}}}\\\\v_{ab}=0.88c$

In a game of pool, the cue ball strikes another ball of the same mass and initially at rest. After the collision, the cue ball m

ikadub [295]

(a) $-39.4^{\circ}$

Let's take the initial direction (before the collision) of the cue ball has positive x-direction.

Along the y-direction, the total initial momentum is zero:

$p_y =0$

Therefore, since the total momentum must be conserved, it must be zero also after the collision. So we write:

$0 = m v_1 sin \phi_1 + m v_2 sin \phi_2 \\0 = m(4.60) sin (28^{\circ}) + m(3.40) sin \phi_2$

where

m is the mass of each ball

$v_1= 4.60 m/s$ is the velocity of the cue ball after the collision

$v_2 = 3.40 m/s$ is the velocity of the second ball after the collision

$\phi_1=28.0^{\circ}$ is the angle of the cue ball with the x-axis

$\phi_2$ is the angle of the second ball

Solving for $\phi_2$ , we find the angle between the direction of motion of the second ball and the original direction of motion:

$sin \phi_2 = -\frac{4.60 sin 28}{3.40}=-0.635\\\phi_2 = -39.4^{\circ}$

(b) 6.69 m/s

To find the original speed of the cue ball, we analyze the situation along the horizontal direction.

First, we calculate the total momentum along the x-direction after the collision, which is:

$p_x = m v_1 cos \phi_1 + m v_2 cos \phi_2 \\0 = m(4.60) cos (28^{\circ}) + m(3.40) cos (-39.4^{\circ})=6.69 m$

The initial total momentum along the x-direction as

$p_x = m u$

where

m is the mass of the cue ball

$u$ is the initial velocity of the cue ball

The momentum along this direction must be conserved, so we can equate the two expressions and find the value of u:

$mu = 6.69 m\\u = 6.69 m/s$
