Answer:

0.167m/s

Explanation:

According to law of conservation of momentum which States that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision. The bodies move with a common velocity after collision.

Given momentum = Maas × velocity.

Momentum of glider A = 1kg×1m/s

Momentum of glider = 1kgm/s

Momentum of glider B = 5kg × 0m/s

The initial velocity of glider B is zero since it is at rest.

Momentum of glider B = 0kgm/s

Momentum of the bodies after collision = (mA+mB)v where;

mA and mB are the masses of the gliders

v is their common velocity after collision.

Momentum = (1+5)v

Momentum after collision = 6v

According to the law of conservation of momentum;

1kgm/s + 0kgm/s = 6v

1 =6v

V =1/6m/s

Their speed after collision will be 0.167m/s

Determine the velocity required for a moving object 2.00 x 10^4 m above the surface of Mars to escape from Mars's gravity. The m
Ket [755]

Answer:

Therefore the escape velocity from Mar's gravity is 15.88 \times 10^4 m/s.

Explanation:

Escape velocity: Escape velocity is a the minimum velocity that a object needs to escape from the gravitational field of massive body.

V_{escape}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}

V_{escape}= Escape velocity

G=Universal gravitational constant = 6.673×10⁻¹¹N m²/Kg²

M= mass of Mars = 6.42×10²³ kg

R = Radius of the Mars = 3.40×10³m

The escape velocity does not depend on the velocity of a object.

V_{escape}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times6.673\times 10^{-11}\times 6.42\times 10^{23}}{3.40\times10^3}}

           =15.88 \times 10^4 m/s

Therefore the escape velocity from Mar's gravity is 15.88 \times 10^4 m/s.
