Answer:

The one satellite has all the momentum before they connect, and then afterwards they share it.

Explanation:

I took the test and I got it correct.

Hope this helps! :)

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The one satellite has all the momentum before they connect, and then afterwards they share it. <span>For a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total </span>momentum<span> of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total </span>momentum<span> of the two objects after the collision.</span>

There are Z protons in the nucleus of an atom, where Z is the atomic number of the element. An α particle carries a charge of +2

qaws [65]

Answer:

$r = 2.84 \times 10^{-14} m$

Explanation:

As per energy conservation we know that the electrostatic potential energy of the charge system is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the alpha particle

So here we can write it as

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{k(2e)(ze)}{r}$

now we know that

$m = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg$

$e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

z = 79

here kinetic energy of the incident alpha particle is given as

$KE = 6.4 \times 10^{-13} J$

now we have

$6.4 \times 10^{-13} = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.6 \times 10^{-19})^2(79)}{r}$

now we have

$r = 2.84 \times 10^{-14} m$

Which of the following examples illustrates static friction?

vivado [14]

Answer:

A box sits stationary on a ramp

Explanation:

Static friction is a force which keeps an object at rest as it is in the case of the box. It has to be overcome for the object to be set into motion.

Static force of friction is calculated as follows:

F= μη

F is static force of friction.

μ is the coefficient of static friction.

η is the normal force.

A 45.0-kg girl is standing on a 168-kg plank. The plank, originally at rest, is free to slide on a frozen lake, which is a flat,

muminat

Answer:

The speed of the plank relative to the ice is:

$v_{p}=-0.33\: m/s$

Explanation:

Here we can use momentum conservation. Do not forget it is relative to the ice.

$m_{g}v_{g}+m_{p}v_{p}=0$ (1)

Where:

m(g) is the mass of the girl
m(p) is the mass of the plank
v(g) is the speed of the girl
v(p) is the speed of the plank

Now, as we have relative velocities, we have:

$v_{g/b}=v_{g}-v_{p}=1.55 \: m/s$ (2)

v(g/b) is the speed of the girl relative to the plank

Solving the system of equations (1) and (2)

$45v_{g}+168v_{p}=0$

$v_{g}-v_{p}=1.55$

$v_{p}=-0.33\: m/s$

I hope it helps you!
