n deep space, sphere A of mass 47 kg is located at the origin of an x axis and sphere B of mass 110 kg is located on the axis at

x = 3.4 m. Sphere B is released from rest while sphere A is held at the origin. (a) What is the gravitational potential energy of the two-sphere system just as B is released? (b) What is the kinetic energy of B when it has moved 2.6 m toward A?

Answer:

a)-1.014x 10^{-7J

b)3.296 x  10^{-7J

Explanation:

For Sphere A:

mass 'Ma'= 47kg

xa= 0

For sphere B:

mass 'Mb'= 110kg

xb=3.4m

a)the gravitational potential energy is given by

U_{i = -GMaMb/ d

U_{i= - 6.67 x 10^{-11} x 47 x 110/ 3.4 => -1.014x 10^{-7J

b) at d= 0.8m (3.4-2.6) and U_{i=-1.014x 10^{-7J

The sum of potential and kinetic energies must be conserved as the energy is conserved.

K_{i + U_{i= K_{f + U_{f

As sphere starts from rest and sphere A is fixed at its place, therefore K_{i is zero

U_{i= K_{f + U_{f

The final potential energy is

U_{f= - GMaMb/d

Solving for 'K_{f '

K_{f = U_{i + GMaMb/d => -1.014x 10^{-7 + 6.67 x 10^{-11} x 47 x 110/ 0.8

K_{f = 3.296 x  10^{-7J

If a 42kg rolling object slows from 11.5 m/s to 3.33 m/s how much work does friction do?
lara31 [8.8K]

Explanation:

work done by friction = 1/2 x 42 x ( 3.33^2 - 11.5^2)

= 21 ( 11.08 - 132.25)

= 21 ( - 121.17 )

= - 2544.57 J

A battery is replaced with one of lower emf. State and explain how the resistance of the lamps would have to change in order to
kow [346]

The brightness of the lamp is proportional to the current flowing through the lamp: the larger the current, the brighter the lamp.

The current flowing through the lamp is given by Ohm's law:

I=\frac{V}{R}

where

V is the potential difference across the lamp, which is equal to the emf of the battery, and R is the resistance of the lamp.

The problem says that the battery is replaced with one with lower emf. Looking at the formula, this means that V decreases: if we want to keep the same brightness, we need to keep I constant, therefore we need to decrease R, the resistance of the lamp.

A stationary shell is exploded in to three fragments A, B, C of masses in the ratio 1:2:3. A travels
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

20 m/s

Explanation:

If the mass of fragment A is m, then the mass of fragment B is 2m, and the mass of fragment C is 3m.

The velocity of A is 60 m/s at angle 0°.

The velocity of B is 30 m/s at angle 120°.

The velocity of C is v at angle θ.

In the x direction:

Momentum before = momentum after

(m + 2m + 3m) (0) = m (60 cos 0°) + 2m (30 cos 120°) + 3m (v cos θ)

0 = 60m − 30m + 3m v cos θ

0 = 30m + 3m v cos θ

-30m = 3m v cos θ

-10 = v cos θ

In the y direction:

Momentum before = momentum after

(m + 2m + 3m) (0) = m (60 sin 0°) + 2m (30 sin 120°) + 3m (v sin θ)

0 = 0 + 30√3 m + 3m v sin θ

-30√3m = 3m v sin θ

-10√3 = v sin θ

Square the two equations and add together:

(-10)² + (-10√3)² = (v cos θ)² + (v sin θ)²

100 + 300 = v² cos² θ + v² sin² θ

400 = v² (cos² θ + sin² θ)

400 = v²

v = 20

The speed of fragment C is 20 m/s.

Calculate the speed of a car that travels 355km in 15 hours , a good answer please
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

23.67 km / hr

Explanation:

car travels 355 km (d)

duration = 15 hrs  (t)

average speed formula = v = d / t

v = 355 km / 15 hr

v = 23.67 km / hr
