A space vehicle is traveling at 2980 km/h relative to Earth when the exhausted rocket motor is disengaged and sent backward. The

relative speed between the motor and the command module is then 94 km/h. The mass of the motor is four times the mass of the module. What is the speed of the command module relative to Earth just after the separation

Answer:

3054.4 km/h

Explanation:

Using the conservation of momentum

momentum before separation = 5M × 2980 Km/h where M represent the mass of the module while 4 M represent the mass of the motor

initial momentum = 14900 M km/h

let v be the new speed of the motor so that the

new momentum = 4Mv and the new momentum of the module  = M ( v + 94 km/h )

total momentum = 4Mv + Mv + 93 M = 5 Mv + 93M

initial momentum = final momentum

14900 M km/h = 5 Mv + 93M

14900 km/h = 5v + 93

14900 - 93 = 5v

v = 2961.4 km/h

the speed of the module = 2961.4 + 93 = 3054.4 km/h

Which electromagnet will produce the strongest magnetic force? (1 point)
Contact [7]

Answer:

Y

Explanation:

Y will produce the strongest magnetic force because the current intensity is medium and it has 50 turns in the wire. the number of turns will increase the force because the magnetic field will be more concentrated.

Have a great day :)

A ball has a mass of 1.5kg and is thrown straight up with a speed of 60m/s, what is the ball’s momentum:
madam [21]

Answer:

Assumption: the air resistance on this ball is negligible. Take g = 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}.

a. The momentum of the ball would be approximately 60\;\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1} two seconds after it is tossed into the air.

b. The momentum of the ball would be approximately \rm \left(-45\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}\right) three seconds after it reaches the highest point (assuming that it didn't hit the ground.) This momentum is smaller than zero because it points downwards.

Explanation:

The momentum p of an object is equal its mass m times its velocity v. That is: \vec{p} = m \cdot \vec{v}.

Assume that the air resistance on this ball is negligible. If that's the case, then the ball would accelerate downwards towards the ground at a constant g \approx -10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}. In other words, its velocity would become approximately 10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} more negative every second.

The initial velocity of the ball is 60\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. After two seconds, its velocity would have become 60\;\rm m \cdot s^{-1} + 2\; \rm s \times \left(-10\;\rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right) = 40\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. The momentum of the ball at that time would be around p = m \cdot v \approx 60\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}.

When the ball is at the highest point of its trajectory, the velocity of the ball would be zero. However, the ball would continue to accelerate downwards towards the ground at a constant g \approx -10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}. That's how the ball's velocity becomes negative.

After three more seconds, the velocity of the ball would be 0\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} + 3\; \rm s \times \left(-10\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}\right) = -30 \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}. Accordingly, the ball's momentum at that moment would be p = m \cdot v \approx \left(-45\; \rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}\right).
