Two astronauts on opposite ends of a spaceship are comparing lunches. One has an apple, the other has an orange. They decide to

trade. Astronaut 1 tosses the 0.132 kg apple toward astronaut 2 with a speed of 1.25 m/s. The 0.143 kg orange is tossed from astronaut 2 to astronaut 1 with a speed of 1.14 m/s. Unfortunately, fruits collide, sending the orange off with a speed 1.03 m/s and an angle of 43.0° with respect to its original direction of motion. Using conservation of linear momentum, find the final speed and direction of the apple. Assume an elastic collision occurs. Give the apple’s direction relative to its original direction of motion.

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall consider direction towards left as positive Let the required velocity be v and let v makes an angle φ

Applying law of conservation of momentum along direction of original motion

m₁ v₁  - m₂ v₂ = m₂v₃ - m₁ v₄

0.132 x 1.25 - .143 x 1.14 = 1.03 cos43 x .143 - v cos θ

v cos θ = .8

Applying law of conservation of momentum along direction perpendicular to direction of original motion

1.03 sin 43 x .143 = .132 x v sinθ

v sinθ = .76

squaring and adding

v² = .76 ² + .8²

v = 1.1 m /s

Tan θ = .76 / .8

θ = 44°

Sounds are produced by objects that are______
ahrayia [7]

Answer: Vibrating

Explanation:

Sound is produced when an object vibrates. The sound vibrations cause waves of pressure that travel through a medium, such as air, water, wood or metal. Sound is a form of mechanical energy.

Tessa wonders how many different ways she can light a lightbulb. Circle all the ways you think will work.
adell [148]
It’s just E because ethe positiv and negative current are supposed to flow thorough the bulb in opppsote sides at a equel level.In some them negerive/postive is absent and some of them are connected to the same side

Two resistors, of R1 = 3.11 Ω and R2 = 6.15 Ω, are connected in series to a battery with an EMF of 24.0 V and negligible interna
Firlakuza [10]
Part (a):
1- Since the resistors are in series, therefore, the total resistance is the summation of the two resistors.
Therefore:
Rtotal = R1 + R2 = 3.11 + 6.15 = 9.26 ohm

2- Since the two resistors are in series, therefore, the current flowing in both is the same. We will use ohm's law to get the current as follows:
V = I*R
V is the voltage of the battery = 24 v
I is the current we want to get
R is the total resistance = 9.26 ohm
Therefore:
24 = 9.26*I
I = 24 / 9.26
I = 2.59 ampere

Part (b):
To get the voltage across the second resistor, we will again use Ohm's law as follows:
V = I*R
V is the voltage we want to get
I is the current in the second resistor = 2.59 ampere
R is the value of the second resistor = 6.15 ohm
Therefore:
V = I*R
V = 2.59 * 6.15
V = 15.9285 volts

Hope this helps :)

Why does a properly adjusted head restraint help prevent head and neck injuries to occupants in rear-end collisions? Explain you
hammer [34]
When a car hits you in a rear end collision, the car initially has a momentum going in one direction. This causes your car to move in the same direction that car was moving even if you were at rest. So, for conservation of momentum, you initially have momentum going in the east direction for example, after the collision, you will have a change in momentum which causes you to have a velocity in the west direction. This is because you are initially at rest and then there is a sudden change in velocity so when you speed up, that momentum causes you to move backwards. If you don't have a properly adjusted neckrest you could may experience whiplash.
