A satellite explodes in outer space, far from any other body, sending thousands of pieces in all directions. Is the linear momen

tum of the satellite before the explosion less than, equal to, or greater than the total linear momentum of all the pieces after the explosion?

The answer to this problem can be given through energy conservation as well as Newton's first law.

Newton's first law states that as long as there is no force exerted on a body, its movement will be constant or at rest. In this way the amount of linear movement of the satellite before the explosion will be equal to the sum of the movement generated in the pieces after the explosion. In the absence of external forces but the preservation of the internal force as the only one to act, these will not change the total momentum of the system.

A velocity vs time graph what is the acceleration of the object
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

If the object is moving with an acceleration of +4 m/s/s (i.e., changing its velocity by 4 m/s per second), then the slope of the line will be +4 m/s/s.

There are two blocks: one large one initially at rest, and a smaller one, initially moving to the right withsome speed. The smal
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity of small block be v .

by applying conservation of momentum we can find velocity of common mass

25 v = 75 V , V is velocity of common mass after collision.

V = v / 3

For reaching the height we shall apply conservation of mechanical energy

1/2 m v² = mgh

1/2  x 75 x V² = 75 x g x 10

V² = 2g x 10

v² / 9 = 2 x 9.8 x 10

v² = 9 x 2 x 9.8 x 10

v = 42 m /s

small block must have velocity of 42 m /s .

Impulse by small block on large block

= change in momentum of large block

= 75 x V

= 75  x 42 / 3

= 1050 Ns.

the time required for one cycle, a complete motion that returns to its starting point, it called the_____ medium frequency perio
telo118 [61]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "Period".

Explanation:

The Period seems to be the time deemed necessary for such a perfect cycle of vibration to transfer a particular moment. Because as the amplitude of the wave raises, the wavelength falls.

It is denoted by "T" and its formula will be:

⇒  T  = \frac{1}{F}

Where, T = Period

            F = Frequency

The other given choices are not related to the given circumstances. So that the above would be the right answer.
