Answer:

Maximum altitude above the ground = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km

Explanation:

Using the equations of motion

u = initial velocity of the projectile = 5.5 km/s = 5500 m/s

v = final velocity of the projectile at maximum height reached = 0 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = (GM/R²) (from the gravitational law)

g = (6.674 × 10⁻¹¹ × 5.97 × 10²⁴)/(6370000²)

g = -9.82 m/s² (minus because of the direction in which it is directed)

y = vertical distance covered by the projectile = ?

v² = u² + 2gy

0² = 5500² + 2(-9.82)(y)

19.64y = 5500²

y = 1,540,224 m = 1540.2 km

Hope this Helps!!!

train travels 1/4of its total distance over half of its time with a constant velocity of 5m/s. calculate the average velocity

Katarina [22]

Let D be the total distance (say in meters) traveled by the train and T the time (say in seconds) it takes to do so. (Assume the train moves in a straight line in only one direction.) Then the average velocity of the train as it covers this distance is

v (ave) = D/T

We're told the train can traverse a distance of D/4 in a matter of T/2 seconds if it moves at a speed of 5 m/s. This means

D/4 = (5 m/s) (T/2)

⇒ 5 m/s = 1/2 D/T

⇒ v (ave) = D/T = 10 m/s

A 4000-kg car bumps into a stationary 6000kg truck. The Velocity of the car before the collision was +4m/s and -1m/s after the c

Goryan [66]

Answer:

<em>The velocity of the truck is 3.33 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum </u>

The total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and velocity v is

P=mv.

If we have a system of bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of the individual momentums:

$P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2+...+m_nv_n$

If some collision occurs, the velocities change to v' and the final momentum is:

$P'=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2+...+m_nv'_n$

In a system of two masses:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2$

There are two objects: The m1=4000 Kg car and the m2=6000 Kg truck. The car was moving initially at v1=4 m/s and the truck was at rest v2=0. After the collision, the car moves at v1'=-1 m/s. We need to find the velocity of the truck v2'. Solving for v2':

$\displaystyle v'_2=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2-m_1v'_1}{m_2}$
