Answer:

The energy that will go will for thermal store of the surroundings is 20 J.

Explanation:

Given;

kinetic of the thrown ball, K.E₁ = 50 J

kinetic energy used to move the target, K.E₂ = 30 J

The excess energy that will go will for thermal store of the surroundings;

ΔK.E = K.E₁ - K.E₂

ΔK.E = 50J - 30J

ΔK.E = 20 J

Therefore, the energy that will go will for thermal store of the surroundings is 20 J.

The smallest shift you can reliably measure on the screen is about 0.2 grid units. This shift corresponds to the precision of po

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

The distance is $d = 1.5 *10^{15} \ km$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The smallest shift is $d = 0.2 \ grid \ units$

Generally a grid unit is $\frac{1}{10}$ of an arcsec

This implies that 0.2 grid unit is $k = \frac{0.2}{10} = 0.02 \ arc sec$

The maximum distance at which a star can be located and still have a measurable parallax is mathematically represented as

$d = \frac{1}{k}$

substituting values

$d = \frac{1}{0.02}$

$d = 50 \ parsec$

Note $1 \ parsec \ \to 3.26 \ light \ year \ \to 3.086*10^{13} \ km$

So $d = 50 * 3.08 *10^{13}$

$d = 1.5 *10^{15} \ km$

What is the biggest current disadvantage to using gas hydrates as a form of energy?

ohaa [14]

When gas hydrates are brought to the surface, they evaporate quickly. This would be the biggest, current disadvantage to using gas hydrates as a form of energy.

A 0.473 kg ice puck, moving east with a speed of 2.76 m/s, has a head-on collision with a 0.819 kg puck initially at rest. Assum

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The final speed of puck 1 is 0.739 m/s towards west and puck 2 is 2.02 m/s towards east .

Explanation:

Let us consider east as positive direction and west as negative direction .

Given

mass of puck 1 , $m_1= 0.473 kg$

mass of puck 2 , $m_2= 0.819 kg$

initial speed of puck 1 , $u_1=2.76\frac{m}{s}$

initial speed of puck 2 , $u_2=0.00\frac{m}{s}$

Final speed of puck 1 and puck 2 be $v_1\, and\, v_2$ respectively

Apply conservation of linear momentum

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

=> $0.473\times 2.76+0.0=0.473\times v_1+0.819\times v_2$

=> $1.594=0.5775\times v_1+ v_2$ -----(A)

Since collision is perfectly elastic , coefficient restitution e=1

$u_2-u_1=v_1-v_2$

=> $0-2.76=v_1-v_2$ ------(B)

From equation (A) and (B)

$v_1=-0.739\frac{m}{s}$

and $v_2=2.02\frac{m}{s}$

Thus the final speed of puck 1 is 0.739 m/s towards west and puck 2 is 2.02 m/s towards east .
