Using conservation of energy and momentum we get m1*v1=(m1+m2)*v2 so rearranging for v2 and plugging the given values in we get:
(200000kg*1.00m/s)/(21000kg)=.952m/s

A large asteroid of mass 98700 kg is at rest far away from any planets or stars. A much smaller asteroid, of mass 780 kg, is in
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

1.81 x 10^-4 m/s

Explanation:

M = 98700 kg

m = 780 kg

d = 201 m

Let the speed of second asteroid is v.

The gravitational force between the two asteroids is balanced by the centripetal force on the second asteroid.

\frac{GMm}{d^{2}}=\frac{mv^2}{d}

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{d}}

Where, G be the universal gravitational constant.

G = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

v=\sqrt{\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 98700}{201}}

v = 1.81 x 10^-4 m/s

A descending elevator of mass 1,000 kg is uniformly decelerated to rest over a distance of 8 m by a cable in which the tension i
Stolb23 [73]

The speed  V_{i} of the elevator at the beginning of the 8 m descent is nearly 4 m/s. Hence, option A is the correct answer.

We are given that-

the mass of the elevator (m) = 1000 kg ;

the distance the elevator decelerated to be y = 8m ;

the tension is T = 11000 N;

let us determine the acceleration 'a' by using Newton's second law of motion.

∑Fy = ma

W - T = ma

(1000kg x 9.8 m/s² ) - 11000N = 1000 kg x a

9800 - 11000 = 1000

a = - 1.2 m/s²

Using the equation of kinematics to determine the initial velocity.

V_{f} ² = V_{i}² + 2ay

V_{i} = √ ( 2 x 1.2m/s² x 8 m )

V_{i} = √19.2 m²/s²

V_{i} = 4.38 m/s   ≈ 4 m/s

Hence, the initial velocity of the elevator is 4m/s.

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the equation of motion v = u + at to get the speed at which the object would be travelling.

v is the final speed (in m/s)

u is the initial velocity (in m/s)

a is the acceleration (in m/s²)

t is the time taken (in  secs)

Given parameters

u = 0m/s

t = 10s

a = g = 9.8m/s²

Substituting this values into the formula;

v = 0+9.8(10)

v = 0+ 98

v  = 98m/s

<em>Hence the rock will be travelling at a speed of 98m/s.</em>
