Answer

Explanation:

Simple arithmetic cannot be used if two or more vectors are not along the same direction. Vectors can be added when two vectors are in the same direction but for the subtraction of vectors, if the vectors are not in the same direction you then subtract.

Answer:

Hello your question is incomplete below is the complete question

Calculate Earths velocity of approach toward the sun when earth in its orbit is at an extremum of the latus rectum through the sun, Take the eccentricity of Earth's orbit to be 1/60 and its Semimajor axis to be 93,000,000

answer : V = 1.624* 10^-5 m/s

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the value of a

a = 93 * 10^6 mile/m * 1609.344 m

= 149.668 * 10^8 m

next we will express the distance between the earth and the sun

$r = \frac{a(1-E^2)}{1+Ecos\beta }$ --------- (1)

a = 149.668 * 10^8

E (eccentricity ) = ( 1/60 )^2

$\beta$ = 90°

input the given values into equation 1 above

r = 149.626 * 10^9 m

next calculate the Earths velocity of approach towards the sun using this equation

$v^2 = \frac{4\pi^2 }{r_{c} }$ ------ (2)

Note :

Rc = 149.626 * 10^9 m

equation 2 becomes

( $V^2 = (\frac{4\pi^{2} }{149.626*10^9})$

therefore : V = 1.624* 10^-5 m/s

9. a. Determine the mass of a football which has a weight of 0.80 N on a planet where the gravitational field strength is 2 N/kg

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

m = 0.4 [kg]

Explanation:

Weight is considered as a force and this is equal to the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

$W=m*g\\$

where:

W = weight = 0.8 [N]

m = mass [kg]

g = gravity acceleration 2[N/kg]

Therefore:

$m=W/g\\m = .8/2\\m = 0.4 [kg]$

An 800 kg fishing boat going south at 12 m/s runs into a stopped pontoon boat (1400 kg). The boats stick together and move south

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

the velocity of the boats after the collision is 4.36 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of fish, m₁ = 800 kg

mass of boat, m₂ = 1400 kg

initial velocity of the fish, u₁ = 12 m/s

initial velocity of the boat, u₂ = 0

let the final velocity of the fish-boat after collision = v

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

800 x 12 + 1400 x 0 = v(800 + 1400)

9600 = 2200v

v = 9600/2200

v = 4.36 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the boats after the collision is 4.36 m/s.
