A moving small car has a head-on collision with a large stationary truck 7.3 times the mass of the car. Which statement is true
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The car would speed off 2x's as fast as the speed of the heavy truck provided the the collision is an elastic collision where there's no or little friction occurring within the scenario.

Explanation:

Newton's law proves that an object with a greater mass can move objects of lesser mass at greater distances and speed.

An unmanned spacecraft is in a circular orbit around the moon, observing the lunar surface from an altitude of 43.0 km . To the
GalinKa [24]

Answer: v₂ = 5962 km

the spacecraft  will crash into the lunar surface at a speed of 5962 km if nothing is done to correct its orbits

Explanation:

Given that;

Lunar surface is in an altitude h = 43.0 km =  43 × 10³ m

we know; Radius of moon R₁ = 1.74 × 10⁶, mass of moon = 7.35 × 10²²

speed of the space craft when it crashes into the lunar surface , v

decreasing speed of the space craft = 23 m/s

Now since the space craft travels in a circular orbit, we use centrifugal expression Fe = mv²/r

but the forces is due to gravitational forces between space craft and lunar surface Fg = GMn/r²

HERE r = Rm + h

we substitute

r = 1.74 × 10⁶ m + 43 × 10³ m

= 1.783 × 10⁶ m

On equating these, we have

G is gravitational force ( 6.673 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²)

v²/r = GM/r²

v = √ ( GM/r)

v = √ ( 6.673 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² × 7.35 × 10²² / 1.783 × 10⁶ )

v = √ (2750787.9978)

v = 1658.55 m/s

Now since speed is decreasing by 23 m/s

the speed of the space craft into the lunar face is,

v₁ = 1658.55 m/s - 23 m/s

v₁ = 1635.55 m/s

Now applying conversation of energy, we say

1/2mv₂² = 1/2mv₁² + GMem (1/Rm - 1/r)

v₂ =  √ [ v₁² + GMe (1/Rm - 1/r)]

v₂ =   √ [ 1635.55²  + ( 6.673 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg² × 7.35 × 10²²) (1/ 1.74 × 10⁶ - 1 / 1.783 × 10⁶)]

v₂ =  √ (2675023.8025 + 67979.24)

v₂ = √(2743003.046)

v₂ = 1656.2 m/s

now convert

v₂ = 1656.2 × 1km/1000m × 3600s/1hrs

v₂ = 5962 km

Therefore the spacecraft  will crash into the lunar surface at a speed of 5962 km if nothing is done to correct its orbits

Define 1 watt power?​
Bumek [7]

Answer:

A body is said to have power of 1 watt if it does work at the rate of 1 joule in 1 s. Watt is the SI unit of power. Other units of power include ergs per second, horsepower, metric horsepower or cheval vapeur (CV)), and foot-pounds per minute. The unit Watt is named after the scientist James Watt.

How does gamma radiation differ from alpha or beta particle radiation?
Nikolay [14]
Alpha radiation consists of fast-moving helium particles, and Beta radiation consists of electrons. Although helium particles are tiny, and electrons even tinier, these still consistent matter. Alpha and Beta waves consist of matter.

Gamma radiation consists of pure energy in the form of electromagnetic rays, and therefore do not consist of matter. 

The answer is A) It does not consist of matter
