Can someone please explain the conservation of momentum? I want to be a rocket scientist lol

1 answer:

4 0

The law of momentum conservation can be stated as follows. For a collision occurring between object 1 and object 2 in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.

The kinetic energy K = 0.5 * m * v² must be equal to the potential energy U = m * g * h.

m mass
v velocity
h height
g = 9.81m/s²

The mass m cancels out:
0.5 * v² = g * h
Solve for height h and transform to distance traveled.
(sin (4°) = height / distance)

Why is Earth’s North Pole a geographic north pole but a south seeking pole magnetically?

natima [27]

Answer:It is actually the South Magnetic pole

Explanation:The magnetic pole near earth's geographic north pole is actually the south magnetic pole. When it comes to magnets, opposites attract. This fact means that the north end of a magnet in a compass is attracted to the south magnetic pole, which lies close to the geographic north pole.

(b) The distance of mass from mass A if there is no gravitational force acted on C

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

(a) The force, acting on object 'C' is approximately 2.66972 × 10⁻¹⁰ Newtons

(b) The distance of 'C' from 'A', in the direction particle 'B' if there is no meters gravitational force acting on 'C' is appromimately 0.829 meters or 1.877 meters

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The mass of particle, A, m₁ = 2 kg

The mass of particle, B, m₂ = 0.3 kg

The mass of particle, C, m₃ = 0.05 kg

The distance between particle 'A' and particle 'B', r₁ = 0.15 m

The distance between particle 'B' and particle 'C', r₂ = 0.05 m

(a) The gravitational force, 'F', is given as follows;

$F =G \times \dfrac{m_{1} \times m_{2}}{r^{2}}$

Where;

F = The force between the two masses

G = The gravitation constant = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²

m₁ = The mass of object 1

m₂ = The mass of object 2

If 'C' is placed at 0.05 m from 'B', we have;

F₂₃ = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ × 0.05 × 0.3/(0.05²) ≈ 4.00458 × 10⁻¹⁰

The gravitational force between force between particle 'B' and particle 'C', F₂₃ = 4.00458 × 10⁻¹⁰ N (towards the right)

F₁₃ = 6.67430 × 10⁻¹¹ × 0.05 × 2/(0.1²) ≈ × 10⁻¹⁰

The gravitational force between force between particle 'A' and particle 'B', F₁₃ = 6.6743 × 10⁻¹⁰ N (towards the left)

The force, 'F', acting on object 'C' = F₁₃ - F₂₃

F = (6.6743 - 4.00458) × 10⁻¹⁰ = 2.66972 × 10⁻¹⁰ N

The force, acting on object 'C' ≈ 2.66972 × 10⁻¹⁰ N

(b), When there is no gravitational force acting on 'C', let the distance of 'C' from 'A' = x

We have;

F₂₃ = F₁₂

$F_{23} =G \times \dfrac{m_{1} \times m_{2}}{r_1^{2}} = F_{13} =G \times \dfrac{m_{1} \times m_{3}}{r_2^{2}}$

By plugging in the values and removing like terms, we get;

$\dfrac{0.3 \times 0.05}{(1.15 - x)^{2}} = \dfrac{2 \times 0.05}{x^2}$

(1.15 - x)² × 2 × 0.05 = 0.3 × 0.05 × x²

0.1·x² - 0.23·x + 1.3225 = 0.015·x²

0.1·x² - 0.23·x + 1.3225 - 0.015·x² = 0

0.085·x² - 0.23·x + 0.13225= 0

x = (0.23± √((-0.23)² - 4 × 0.085 × ( 0.13225)))/(2 × 0.085))

x ≈ 0.829, or x ≈ 1.877

Therefore, the distance of 'C' from 'A', if there is no gravitational force acting on 'C', x ≈ 0.829 m, or x = 1.877 m, in the direction of 'B'

A bat moving at 3.7 m/s is chasing a ying insect. The bat emits a 36 kHz chirp and receives back an echo at 36.79 kHz. At what s

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The speed the bat is gaining on its prey is 0.03m/s

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the bat, v₀ = 3.7 m/s

frequency of the bat, F₀ = 36 kHz

frequency of the source, Fs = 36.79

This is relative motion between a source of the sound and the observer. The phenomenon is known as Doppler effect.

Apply the following equation to determine the speed of the insect which is the source;

$F_0 = F_s[\frac{v+v_0}{v-v_s} ]\\\\\frac{F_0}{F_s} = [\frac{v+v_0}{v-v_s} ]\\\\\frac{36.79}{36} = \frac{340+3.7}{340-v_s}\\\\1.0219 = \frac{343.7}{340-v_s}\\\\ 340-v_s = \frac{343.7}{1.0219}\\\\340-v_s = 336.33\\\\v_s = 340-336.33\\\\v_s = 3.67 \ m/s$

The speed the bat is gaining on its prey = 3.7m/s - 3.67m/s = 0.03 m/s

Therefore, the speed the bat is gaining on its prey is 0.03m/s
