Two manned satellites approach one another at a relative velocity of v = 0.150 m/s, intending to dock. The first has a mass of m

1 = 4.00 × 10 3 kg and the second a mass of m 2 = 7.50 × 10 3 kg. If the two satellites collide elastically rather than dock, what is their final relative velocity?

Answer:

= - 0.41m/s

Explanation:

Velocity of first satellite

V_1 = \frac{m_1 -m_2}{m_1 + m_2} u

V_1 = \frac{(4 \times 10^3) - (7.5  \times 10^3)}{(4 \times 10^3) + (7.5  \times 10^3)} \times 0.15\\\\= -0.30435

Velocity of the second satellite

V_2 = \frac{2m_1}{m_1 + m_2} u

V_2 = \frac{2  \times 4 \times 10^3}{4 \times 10^3 + 7.5  \times 10^3} \\\\= 0.10435

Final velocity = V(1) - V(2)

V = -0.30435 - 0.10435\\\\= -0.4087

≅ -0.41m/s

Answer:

their final relative velocity, v₂ - v₁ = u₁ -u₂ = 0.15 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first satellite, m₁ = 4000 kg

mass of the second satellite, m₂ = 7500 kg

their relative velocity, u₁ -u₂ = 0.15 m/s

Since, the two satellites collide elastically, then total momentum before and after collision are conserved, also the total kinetic energy is also conserved.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

m₁u₁ -m₁v₁ = m₂v₂ - m₂u₂

m₁(u₁-v₁) = m₂(v₂-u₂ ) ------------equation (i)

where;

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

Also, kinetic energy is conserved

Total initial kinetic energy = Total final kinetic energy

¹/₂m₁u₁² + ¹/₂m₂u₂² = ¹/₂m₁v₁² +  ¹/₂m₂v₂²

multiple through by 2

m₁u₁² + m₂u₂² = m₁v₁² + m₂v₂²

m₁u₁² - m₁v₁²  = m₂v₂² - m₂u₂²

m₁(u₁² - v₁²) = m₂(v₂²- u₂²) --------------equation (ii)

divide equation (ii) by equation (i)

\frac{m_1(u_1-v_1)}{m_1(u_1^2-v_1^2)} = \frac{m_2(v_2-u_2)}{m_2(v_2^2-u_2^2)} \\\\\frac{(u_1-v_1)}{(u_1^2-v_1^2)} = \frac{(v_2-u_2)}{(v_2^2-u_2^2)}\\\\\frac{(u_1-v_1)}{(u_1-v_1)((u_1+v_1)} = \frac{(v_2-u_2)}{(v_2-u_2)(v_2+u_2)}\\\\u_1+v_1 = v_2+u_2\\\\u_1 -u_2 = v_2 -v_1

0.15 m/s = v₂ - v₁

Thus, the relative velocity before collision is equal to the relative velocity of separation of collision.

Calcular la aceleración que produce una fuerza de 40 N sobre un cuerpo con 88 Kg de masa. Expresar el resultado en m⁄s^2 *
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

a = 0.45 m/s²

Explanation:

The given question is ''Calculate the acceleration that produces a force of 40 N on a body with 88 kg of mass".

Given that,

Force, F = 40 N

Mass of the body, m = 88 kg

The net force acting on the body is given by :

F = ma

Where

a is the acceleration of the body

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{40\ N}{88\ kg}\\\\a=0.45\ m/s^2

So, the required acceleration is 0.45 m/s².

Austin buys a new moped he travel 3 km south and then 4 km east and then 3km north how far does he need to go to get back to whe
Ira Lisetskai [31]
The first thing to do is to define the origin of the coordinate system as the point at which the moped journey begins.
 Then, you must write the position vector:
 r = -3j + 4i + 3j
 Rewriting
 r = 4i
 To go back to where you started, you must go
 d = -4i
 That is to say, must travel a distance of 4Km to the west.
 Answer
 West, 4km.

Structures on a bird feather act like a diffraction grating having 8000 8000 lines per centimeter. What is the angle of the firs
sammy [17]

Answer:

Angle of first order maximum, \theta=21.19^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength of the light, \lambda=452\ nm=452\times 10^{-9}\ m

Number of lines, N = 8000 per cm

The relation between the number of lines and the slit width is given by :

d=\dfrac{1}{N}

d=\dfrac{1}{8000/cm}  

d=0.000125\ cm=1.25\times 10^{-6}\ m

The equation of grating is given by :

d\ sin\theta=n\lambda

n = 1

sin\theta=\dfrac{\lambda}{d}

sin\theta=\dfrac{452\times 10^{-9}}{1.25\times 10^{-6}}

\theta=21.19^{\circ}

So, the angle of the first-order maximum is 21.19 degrees. Hence, this is the required solution.
