How does the total momentum of the docked vehicle and station compare to the momentum of each object before the

Physics

Xelga [282]3 years ago

The total momentum before the docking maneuver is  and after the docking maneuver is

Explanation:

Linear momentum  (generally just called momentum) is defined as mass in motion and is given by the following equation:  

 

Where  is the mass of the object and  its velocity.

According to the conservation of momentum law:

"If two objects or bodies are in a closed system and both collide, the total momentum of these two objects before the collision  will be the same as the total momentum of these same two objects after the collision ".

This means, that although the momentum of each object may change after the collision, the total momentum of the system does not change.

Now, the docking of a space vehicle with the space station is an inelastic collision, which means both objects remain together after the collision.

Hence, the initial momentum is:

Where:

is the mass of the vehicle

is the velocity of th vehicle

is the mass of the space station

is the velocity of the space station

And the final momentum is:

Where:

is the velocity of the vehicle and space station docked

Hello! 

The kind of gas cloud that is most likely to give birth to stars is a cold, dense gas cloud.

Stars are formed in giant molecular clouds, called "star nurseries". These are regions with molecular Hydrogen, Helium, and little amounts of other elements. These are cold and dense regions, and the gas cloud collapses, forming a protostar. The protostar gradually heats, powering nuclear reactions in its center, which increases the temperature even more and giving birth to a star. 

Have a nice day!

Assume a reaction takes 7.5 moles of anhydrous calcium chloride and energy transfer occurs, which we record as 21.2 joules of en
OLga [1]

Answer: 2.83 J/mol

Explanation:

Heat of solution, sometimes interchangeably called enthalpy of solution, is said to be the energy released or absorbed when the solute dissolves in the solvent. A solute is that which can dissolve in a solvent, to form a solution

Given

No of moles of CaCl = 7.5 mol

Total energy used = 21.2 J

Heat of solution = q/n where

q = total energy

n = number of moles

Heat of solution = 21.2 / 7.5

Heat of solution = 2.83 J/mol
