A space vehicle of mass m has a speed v. At some instant, it separates into two pieces, each of mass 0.5m. One of the pieces is
Damm [24]

Answer:

W = ½ m v²

Explanation:

In this exercise we must solve it in parts, in a first part we use the conservation of the moment to find the speed after the separation

We define the system formed by the two parts of the rocket, therefore the forces during internal separation and the moment are conserved

initial instant. before separation

        p₀ = m v

final attempt. after separation

       p_{f} = m /2  0 + m /2 v_{f}

       p₀ = p_{f}

       m v = m /2 v_{f}

       v_{f}= 2 v

this is the speed of the second part of the ship

now we can use the relation of work and energy, which establishes that the work is initial to the variation of the kinetic energy of the body

     

initial energy

         K₀ = ½ m v²

final energy

        K_{f} = ½ m/2  0 + ½ m/2 v_{f}²

        K_{f} = ¼ m (2v)²

        K_{f} = m v²

         

the expression for work is

         W = ΔK = K_{f} - K₀

         W = m v² - ½ m v²

         W = ½ m v²

During a chemical reaction, Bromine (Br) would be expected to
Andrew [12]

Answer:

During a chemical reaction, Bromine (Br) would be expected to  <u><em>gain 1 valence electron to have a full octet.</em></u>

Explanation:

In the periodic table the elements are ordered so that those with similar chemical properties are located close to each other.

The elements are arranged in horizontal rows, called periods, which coincide with the last electronic layer of the element. That is, an element with five electronic shells will be in the fifth period.

The columns of the table are called groups. The elements that make up each group coincide in their electronic configuration of valence electrons, that is, they have the same number of electrons in their last.

The elements tend to resemble the closest noble gases in terms of their electronic configuration of the last layer, that is, having eight electrons in the last layer to be stable.

Bromine belongs to group 17 (VII A), which indicates that it has 7 electrons in its last shell. So bromine requires more energy to lose all 7 electrons and generate stability, than it does to gain 1 electron and fill in 8 electrons to be stable. So:

<u><em>During a chemical reaction, Bromine (Br) would be expected to  gain 1 valence electron to have a full octet.</em></u>

Once​ Kate's kite reaches a height of 50 ft ​(above her​ hands), it rises no higher but drifts due east in a wind blowing 7 ft d
Margaret [11]

Answer:

dz  = 7.136 (answer)

Explanation:

given height  for kate's kite   = 50 ft  (say y)

due to drift it move towards east =  dx = 7 ft  

string maximum length          = 107 ft ( say z)

we have to find change in z  

that is  dz

it will form a right angle triangle for x , y and z  where x is base y is height and z is hypotenuse

so we get according to Pythagoras Theorem

z^2 = x^2+y^2\\...............(i)

by derivative both side  consider y as constant

2zdz = 2xdx\\dz = {xdx }/z

from (i)  equation

x = \sqrt{z^2-y^2}

dz = \sqrt{z^2-y^2}dx/z

now put the value and find dz

dz = (\sqrt{120^2-50^2)}7/107\\  =((\sqrt{14400 -2500} )\times7)/107

after solving these  we get

dz  =\frac{109.08\times7}{107}  

dz  = 7.136 (answer)

The mechanical engery of an object equals its
Katarina [22]

The sum of an object's potential and kinetic energies is called the object's mechanical energy. As an object falls its potential energy decreases, while its kinetic energy increases. The decrease in potential energy is exactly equal to the increase in kinetic energy.
