Define
m₁ = 0.650 kg the mass of the fish leaping to the right.
u₁ = 15.0 m/s is its velocity.
m₂ = 0.950 kg, the mass of the fish leaping to the left
u₂ = 13.5 m/s is its velocity.

Let v = the mutual velocity after inelastic impact.
For conservation of momentum,
m₁u₁ + m₂(-u₂) = (m₁+m₂)v
0.65*15 - 0.95*13.5 = (0.65 + 0.95)*v
v = - 3.075/1.6
   = - 1.9219 m/s 

The change in KE of the 0.65 kg fish is
(1/2)*(0.65 kg)*(15 + 1.9219)² = 93.06 J

Answer: 93.1 J

The change in the kinetic energy refers to the work done in displacing a body, thus, the change in the kinetic energy of an object refers to the work done on the object.
The correct formula to use is:
W = Initial kinetic energy - Final kinetic energy;
Where, W = change in kinetic energy
Final kinetic energy and initial kinetic energy = 1/2 MV^2
Initial velocity = 15 m/s
Final velocity  = 13.5 m/s
Initial mass = 0.650 kg
Final mass = 0.950 kg
W = 1/2 [0.650* (15 *15)] - 1/2 [0.950 * (13.5 * 13.5)]
W = 146.25 - 173.13 = 26.88
Therefore, the change in kinetic energy is 26.88 J.
 The negative sign has to be ignored, because change in kinetic energy can not be negative.

will the value of g be affected by the radius of the earth? consider the real shape of the earth. compare the acceleration due t
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Yes, the value of g affected by the radius.

Explanation:

The formula for the force of gravity of 2 objects is

F_{gravity} = G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}, where m1 and m2 are the masses of the 2 objects, r is the radius, and G is the gravitational constant, which is approximately 6.67 \cdot 10^{-11}.

Therefore, as the radius if bigger, the force of gravity is going to be smaller exponentially.

an object 5 cm in size is placed at 30 cm in front of a concave mirror of focal length 45 CM at what distance from the mirror sh
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: Given: h₀=5cm

p=30cm

hi

f=45cm

require: q=?

hi=?

formulas:

1/f=1/p+1/q

hi/h₀=q/p

calculations:1/q=1/f-1/p

1/q=1/45-1/30

1/q=0.022=0.033

1/q=  =    -0.011

q=1/-0.011

q=   -90.91cm

hi=p × h₀/q

hi=30ₓ5/-90.91

hi=150/-90.91

hi= -1.65cm

A 50 kg bobsled slides down an ice track starting (at zero initial speed) from the top of a(n) 184 m high hill. The acceleration
Feliz [49]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of ice m=50\ kg

Height of hill h=184\ m

Neglecting air resistance

As resistance is absent so Energy at top of hill and at the bottom hill is conserved.

Energy at top is equal to Potential Energy

E_T=mgh=50\times 9.8\times 184

Energy at bottom is equal to kinetic energy at bottom

E_B=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

E_T=E_B

50\times 9.8\times 184=\frac{1}{2}\times 50\times v^2

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 184}

v=60.05\ m/s
