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°

Calculate the momentum of a 1800 kg elephant charging a hunter at a speed of 7.50 m/s.
liq [111]

The amount of movement, linear momentum, momentum or momentum is a physical quantity derived from a vector type that describes the movement of a body in any mechanical theory. In classical mechanics, the amount of movement is defined as the product of body mass and its velocity at a given time.

p= mv

Where,

m = mass

v = Velocity

Our values are given as,

m = 1800kg

v = 7.5m/s

Replacing we have that,

p = (1800)(7.5)

p = 13500kg\cdot m/s

Therefore the momentum is 13500kg\cdot m/s

A 4 feet tall student went for swimming in a pool.He saw the depth of the water in the pool less than 4 feet.Will he be drowned?
Serjik [45]

Answer:

No, he won't be drowned.

Explanation:

We have given,

The height of the student = 4 feet,

Depth of the pool( in feet ) = x ( say ) < 4 feet,

Since, the depth of the pool < height of the student,

Thus, if the student went for swimming in a pool, however he does not know swimming, he will not be drowned until he is suffering from an injury or external force.

What is the longest wavelength of light that will emit electrons from a metal whose work function is?
alexdok [17]
 Best Answer:<span>  </span><span>hf = work function + KE 
However if you are looking at the max wavelength (or threshold frequency) then there will only be just enough energy for the photoelectrons to be liberated, hence their KE will be 0. 
So hf = work function 
convert eV to joules, 2.4 x (1.6 x 10^-19) = 3.84 x 10^-19 
therefore, hf = 3.84 x 10^-19 
f = 3.84 x 10^-19 / planck's constant which is 6.63 x 10^-34 
f = 5.79 x 10^14 Hz 
c = frequency x wavelength, 
wavelength = speed of light/frequency 
= (3x10^8)/(5.79x10^14) 
=5.18 x 10^-7 metres</span>
