An observer on the earth sees a spaceship approaching at 0.54c. The ship then launches an exploration vehicle that, according to

the earth observer, approaches at 0.82c. What is the velocity of the exploration vehicle relative to the spaceship? Give your answer as a decimal fraction of c, i.e. a β factor.

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for relative velocity

= \frac{v_1+v_2}{1+\frac{v_1v_2}{c^2} }

= (.54 + .82 )c/ 1+ \frac{.54 \times.82}{1}

= 1.36 c / 1.4428

= .94 c

β = .94

A metal cylinder with a mass of 4.20 kg is attached to a spring and is able to oscillate horizontally with negligible friction.
kherson [118]

Answer:

a) k = 120 N / m

, b)    f = 0.851 Hz

, c)  v = 1,069 m / s

, d)  x = 0

, e)  a = 5.71 m / s²

, f)   x = 0.200 m

, g)  Em = 2.4 J

, h) v = -1.01 m / s

Explanation:

a) Hooke's law is

         F = k x

         k = F / x

          k = 24.0 / 0.200

          k = 120 N / m

b) the angular velocity of the simple harmonic movement is

        w = √ k / m

        w = √ (120 / 4.2)

        w = 5,345 rad / s

Angular velocity and frequency are related.

       w = 2π f

        f = w / 2π

        f = 5.345 / 2π

        f = 0.851 Hz

c) the equation that describes the movement is

        x = A cos (wt + Ф)

As the body is released without initial velocity, Ф = 0

        x = 0.2 cos wt

Speed ​​is

       v = dx / dt

       v = -A w sin wt

The speed is maximum for sin wt = ±1

       v = A w

       v = 0.200 5.345

       v = 1,069 m / s

d) when the function sin wt = -1 the function cos wt = 0, whereby the position for maximum speed is

       x = A cos wt = 0

       x = 0

e) the acceleration is

       a = d²x / dt² = dv / dt

       a = - Aw² cos wt

The acceleration is maximum when cos wt = ± 1

       a = A w²

        a = 0.2   5.345

        a = 5.71 m / s²

f) the position for this acceleration is

       x = A cos wt

       x = A

       x = 0.200 m

g) Mechanical energy is

        Em = ½ k A²

        Em = ½ 120 0.2²

       Em = 2.4 J

h) the position is

         x = 1/3 A

Let's calculate the time to reach this point

         x = A cos wt

        1/3 A = A cos 5.345t

         t = 1 / w cos⁻¹(1/3)

The angles are in radians

t = 1.23 / 5,345

t = 0.2301 s

Speed ​​is

v = -A w sin wt

v = -0.2 5.345 sin (5.345 0.2301)

v = -1.01 m / s

i) acceleration

a = -A w² sin wt

a = - 0.2 5.345² cos (5.345 0.2301)

      a = -1.91 m / s²

When two objects collide and stick together, what will happen to their speed, assuming momentum is conserved?
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

When two objects collide and stick together, what will happen to their speed, assuming momentum is conserved? They will move at the same velocity as whichever object was fastest initially. They will move at the same velocity of whichever object was slowest initially.
