Answer:  75,242.9 m/s

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following parameters

mass of Lion (ML) = 169,169 kg

velocity of lion (VL) = 777,377.7 m/s

mass of Gazelle (Mg) = 31,731.7 kg

velocity of Gazelle (Vg) = 63,863.8 kg

mass of Lion and Gazelle (M) = 200,900.7 kg

velocity of Lion and Gazelle (V) = ?

The first figure below shows the motion of the Lion and Gazelle with their direction.

The second diagram shows the motion of the Lion and Gazelle with their directions rearranged to form a right angle triangle.

from the triangle formed we can get the velocity of the Lion and Gazelle immediately after collision using their momentum and Phytaghoras theorem

momentum = mass x velocity

momentum of the Lion = 169,169 x 77,377.3 = 13,089,840,463.7 kgm/s

momentum of the Gazelle = 31,731.7 x 63,863.8 = 2,026,506,942.46 kgm/s

momentum of the Lion and Gazelle = 200,900.7  x V

now applying Phytaghoras theorem we have

13,089,840,463.7 + 2,026,506,942.46 =  200,900.7 x V

15,116,347,406.16 = 200,900.7 x V

V = 75,242.9 m/s

The final speed of the lion–gazelle system immediately after the attack is about 65.9 km/hr

\texttt{ }

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Newton's second law of motion states that the resultant force applied to an object is directly proportional to the mass and acceleration of the object.

\large {\boxed {F = ma }

<em>F = Force ( Newton )</em>

<em>m = Object's Mass ( kg )</em>

<em>a = Acceleration ( m )</em>

\texttt{ }

\large {\boxed {F = \Delta (mv) \div t }

<em>F = Force ( Newton )</em>

<em>m = Object's Mass ( kg )</em>

<em>v = Velocity of Object ( m/s )</em>

<em>t = Time Taken ( s )</em>

Let us now tackle the problem !

\texttt{ }

<u>Given:</u>

mass of lion = m₁ = 169 kg

velocity of lion = v₁ = 77.3 j km/hr

mass of gazelle = m₂ = 31.7 kg

velocity of gazelle = v₂ = 63.8 i km/hr

<u>Asked:</u>

final speed = v = ?

<u>Solution:</u>

<em>We will use </em><em>Conservation of Momentum</em><em> to solve the problem as follows:</em>

p_1 + p_2 = p

m_1 v_1 + m_2 v_2 = ( m_1 + m_2 ) \overrightarrow{v}

169 ( 77.3 \widehat{j} ) + 31.7 ( 63.8 \widehat{i} ) = ( 169 + 31.7 ) \overrightarrow{v}

\overrightarrow{v} \approx 65.1 \widehat{j} + 10.1 \widehat{i}

|\overrightarrow{v}| \approx \sqrt{65.1^2 + 10.1^2}

|\overrightarrow{v}| \approx 65.9 \texttt{ km/hr}

A figure skater glides along a circular path of radius 6.70 m. If she coasts around one half of the circle, find the following.
adoni [48]

(a) Her distance from the starting location is 21.05 m.

(b) The length of the path she skated is 21.05 m.

<h3>Distance of the skater from the starting position</h3>

The distance around a complete circular path is calculated as 2πr.

The distance for a half circle is calculated as ¹/₂ x 2πr = πr

Distance from the starting location = π x 6.7 m = 21.05 m

The length of the path she skated is the same as her distance from the starting location = 21.05 m.

The latitude of the city of Arlington is about 32.7357°. Calculate the following: (a) The angular speed of the Earth. (b) The li
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) The earth rotates by 2π radian in 24 x 60 x 60 s

so angular speed ( w )  = 2π / (24 x 60 x 60)  = 7.268 x  10⁻⁵ rad / s

b ) Linear speed of city of Arlington ( v )  = w r = w R Cosλ where R is radius of the earth and λ is latitude .

v = 7.268 x 10⁻⁵ x  6.371 x 10⁶ cos 32.7357

389.5 m /s

acceleration = w² r = w² R Cos 32.7357

= (7.268 x 10⁻⁵ )² x 6.371 x 10⁶ x cos 32.7357

=283.08 x 10⁻⁴ m/s²

c) velocity ratio =

w r /w R =

R cos 32.73/ R  

= Cos 32.73

= 0.84 .

As you move farther away from a source emitting a pure tone, the ___________ of the sound you hear decreases.
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

frequency

Explanation:

The phenomenon of apparent change in frequency due to the relation motion between the source and the observer is called Doppler's effect.

So, when we move farther, the frequency of sound decreases. The formula of the Doppler's effect is  

f' = \frac{v + v_o}{v+ v_s} f

where, v is the velocity of sound, vs is the velocity of source and vo is the velocity of observer, f is the true frequency. f' is the apparent frequency.

According to the graph above, how large of a force is needed in order to stretch the string 1.00 meters?
gulaghasi [49]

My guess for this one would be; 400 N

My reasoning would be; it starts at 0 on both X and Y, if you need to get to 1.00 meters thats 4/4. 1/4 of 1.00 is .25, and on .25 its on 100 so multiply it by 4 to make 1.00 and you get 400 N
