Answer:

The minimum time, t = 21.11 m

Explanation:

Given,

The maximum distance between the Earth and Mars, d = 780,000,000 km

The maximum distance between the Earth and Mars, d = 780,000,000 km

The speed of the light, c = 300,000 km/s

The distance and speed of the object is related using the formula,

                           v = d / t

                            t = d / v

The minimum time it takes for data transmission is when the distance between the Mars and the Earth is at minimum.

Therefore,

                            t = 380,000,000 km / 300,000 km/s

                              = 1266.67 s

                              = 21.11 minutes

Hence, the minimum time it takes for data transmitted by the Mars Surveyor to reach earth, t = 21.11 minutes

Acceleration = (change of speed) / (time for the change)

Change in speed = (22 - 4) = 18 m/s.
Time for the change = 3 sec.

Acceleration = 18/3 = 6 m/s per second.

The experimental apparatus shown in the figure above contains a pendulum consisting of a 0.66 kg ball attached to a string of le
lara31 [8.8K]

The problem is solved and the questions are answered below.

Explanation:

a. To calculate the speed of the 0.66 kg ball just before the collision

V₀ + K₀ = V₁ + K₁

= mgh₀ = 1/2 mv₁²

where, h= r - r cosθ

V = \sqrt{2gh}

 V = 2.42 m/s

b. Calculate the speed of the 0.22 kg ball immediately after the collision

y = y₀ + Vy₀t - 1/2 gt²

0 = 1.2 - 1/2 gt²

t = 0.495 s

x = x₀ + Vx₀t

1.4 = 0 + vx₀ (0.495)

Vx₀ = 2.83 m/s

C. To Calculate the speed of the 0.66 kg ball immediately after the collision

m₁ v₁ = m₁ v₃ + m₂ v₄

(0.66)(2.42) = (0.66) v₃ + (0.22)(2.83)

V₃ = 1.48 m/s

D. To Indicate the direction of motion of the 0.66 kg ball immediately after the collision is to the right.

E. To Calculate the height to which the 0.66 kg ball rises after the collision

V₀ + k₀ = V₁ + k₁

1/2 mv₀² = mgh₁

h₁ = v₀²/2 g

  = 0.112 m

F. Based on your data, No the collision is not elastic.

Δk = 1/2 m₁v₃² =1/2 m₂v₄² - 1/2 m₁v₁²

     = 1/2 (0.66)(1.48)² + 1/2 (0.22)(2.83)² - 1/2 (0.66)(2.42)²

    = - 0.329 J

Hence, kinetic energy is not conserved.
