Answer:
24.084 m/s
Explanation:
From the law of conservation of linear momentum
Total momentum before collision equals to the total momentum after collision
Since momentum=mv where m is mass and v is velocity
where
is the mass of the truck,
is velocity of the truck,
is the common velocity of moving and standing truck after collision and
is the mass of the standing truck
Making the subject we obtain
Substituting as 25000 Kg,
as 22.3 m/s,
as 2000 Kg we obtain
Therefore, assuming no friction and considering that after collision they still move eastwards hence common velocity and initial truck velocities are positive
The truck was moving at 24.084 m/s
Answer:Orbital period =21.22hrs
Explanation:
given that
mass of earth M = 5.97 x 10^24 kg
radius of a satellite's orbit, R= earth's radius + height of the satellite
6.38X 10^6 + 3.25 X10^7 m =3.89 X 10^7m
Speed of satellite, v=
where G = 6.673 x 10-11 N m2/kg2
V= \sqrt (6.673x10^-11 x 5.97x10^ 24)/(3.89 X 10^ 7m)
V =10,241082.2
v= 3,200.2m/s
a) Orbital period
=
V=
T= 2 r/ V
= 2 X 3.142 X 3.89 X 10^7m/ 3,200.2m/s
=76,385.1 s
60 sec= 1min
60mins = 1hr
76,385.1s =hr
76,385.1/3600=21.22hrs
