Answer:

 x_{cm} = 4.644 10⁶ m

Explanation:

The center of mass is given by the equation

         x_{cm} = 1 / M_{total}  ∑ x_{i}  m_{i}

Where M_{total} is the total masses of the system, x_{i} is the distance between the particles and m_{i} is the masses of each body

Let's apply this equation to our problem

        M = Me + m

        M = 5.98 10²⁴ + 7.36 10²²

        M = 605.36 10²² kg

Let's locate a reference system located in the center of the Earth

Let's calculate

       x_{cm} = 1 / 605.36 10²²   [Me 0 + 7.36 10²² 3.82 10⁸]

       x_{cm} = 4.644 10⁶ m

a current of 180 mini amphere passes through a conductor for 5minute calculate the quantity of electricity transported​
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

You can calculate the total electric charge that passes through the conductor as q=It=(180\times 10^{-3})(5\times 60)= 54 C. It means that the number of electron that passes through the conductor is:

n=\frac{q}{e}=\frac{54}{1.6\times 10^{-19}}=33.75\times 10^{19}

Car A hits car B (initially at rest and of equal mass) from behind while going 15 m/s Immediately after the collision, car B mov
Mamont248 [21]

Given :

Initial speed of car A is 15 m/s and initial speed of car B is zero.

Final speed of car A is zero and final speed of car B is 10 m/s.

To Find :

What fraction of the initial kinetic energy is lost in the collision.

Solution :

Initial kinetic energy is :

K.E_i = \dfrac{15^2m}{2} + 0\\\\K.E_i = \dfrac{225 m}{2}

Final kinetic energy is :

K.E_f = \dfrac{10^2m}{2} + 0\\\\K.E_f = \dfrac{100m}{2}

Now, fraction of initial kinetic energy loss is :

Loss = \dfrac{\dfrac{225m}{2}-\dfrac{100m}{2}}{\dfrac{100m}{2}}\\\\Loss = \dfrac{125}{100}\\\\Loss = 1.25

Therefore, fraction of initial kinetic energy loss in the collision is 1.25 .
