Answer:

3 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

<em><u>Theory</u></em>

<u>The law of conservation of linear momentum</u>

The sum of linear momentum of a system under no external force remains constant.

In this scenario although different forces act on two spaceship by each other when we  consider the total system of two spaceship no external unbalance force act on them. So we can apply this law.

As law says,

The sum of linear momentum before collision = The sum of linear momentum after collision.

Momentum = mass × velocity.

So we get, 200×0 +200×6 = 400×v where v = velocity of the locked spaceships,

v = 3 ms⁻¹

A bungee jumper starts with 1000 J in their GPE store. After they jump they fall and are brought to a stop with the bungee cord.
pochemuha

Answer:

energy is equal to 1000 J

Explanation:

When the jumper is in the tent, he has a given height, this height gives him a gravitational potential energy, which forms his initial mechanical energy of 1000 J. After jumping, this energy is converted into elastic energy of the rope plus a remainder of potential energy gravitational, it does not reach the ground, but as the friction is negligible the total mechanical energy is conserved, therefore its energy is equal to 1000 J

This is a case of energy transformation, but the total value of mechanical energy does not change

An amplifier has a 50 watt output and a 5 watt input. what is the gain in decibels for this amplifier, rounded to the nearest de
Marrrta [24]
Gain in decibels is given by;

Gain db = 10*log (Po/Pi), where Po = Power output, Pin = Power input

Substituting;

Gain in db = 10 * log (50/5) = 10 db

How does the intensity of a sound wave change if the distance from the
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The new intensity decreases by a factor of 16.

Explanation:

The intensity of sound wave is given by :

I=\dfrac{P}{A}

P is power

A is area

I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}

or

I\propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}, r is distance from the source

If the distance from the  source is increased by a factor of 4, r' = 4r

So,

I'=\dfrac{1}{r'^2}\\\\I'=\dfrac{1}{(4r)^2}\\\\I'=\dfrac{1}{16}\times \dfrac{1}{r^2}\\\\I'=\dfrac{I}{16}

So, the new intensity decreases by a factor of 16.
