  <span>change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity = v - u 

for comet: 
uc = initial velocity of comet (before impact) 
vc = final velocity of comet 
mc= mass of comet 

uc = 40000 kmph 
vc = ? 
mc= 10 x 10^14 kg 


for probe: 

up = initial velocity of probe (before impact) 
vp = final velocity of probe 
mp= mass of probe 

up= 37000 kmph 
vp= ? 
mp= 372 kg 

Now, 
by principle of conservation of momentum 

(mc x uc) - (mp x up) = (mc x vc) + (mp x vp) 

Since probe is in comet after collision, vp= vc = V 

then, 

(mc x uc) - (mp x up) = V (mc + mp ) 
V = [(mc x uc) - (mp x up)] / (mc + mp ) 

= ((10 × 10^14 × 40000) - (372 × 37000)) ÷ ((10 × 10^14) + 372) 

= ??? 

then, 

change in velocity of the comet = ??? - (40000) =

A. A land speed car can decelerate at 9.8m/s. How long does it take the car to come to a complete stop from a run of 885 km/hr (
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

A. 25.08 s

B. 3082.53 m

C. 3×10⁵ m/s²

Explanation:

A. Determination of the time.

This can be obtained as illustrated below:

Acceleration (a) = –9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) = 245.8 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Time (t) =.?

v = u + at

0 = 245.8 + (–9.8 × t)

0 = 245.8 – 9.8t

Collect like terms

0 – 245.8 = – 9.8t

– 245.8 = – 9.8t

Divide both side by –9.8

t = –245.8 / –9.8

t = 25.08 s

Therefore, it will take 25.08 s for the car to come to a complete stop.

B. Determination of the distance travelled by the car.

Acceleration (a) = –9.8 m/s²

Initial velocity (u) = 245.8 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Distance (s) =?

v² = u² + 2as

0² = 245.8² + (2 × –9.8 × s)

0 = 60417.64 – 19.6s

Collect like terms

0 – 60417.64 = – 19.6s

– 60417.64 = – 19.6s

Divide both side by –19.6

s = –60417.64 / –19.6

s = 3082.53 m

Thus, the car travelled a distance of 3082.53 m before stopping completely.

C. Determination of the acceleration of the object.

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 600 m/s

Distance (s) = 0.6 m

Acceleration (a) =?

v² = u² + 2as

600² = 0² + (2 × a × 0.6)

360000 = 0 + 1.2a

360000 = 1.2a

Divide both side by 1.2

a = 360000 / 1.2

a = 300000 = 3×10⁵ m/s²

Hello!
34kurt
Iodine-131 has a half life of 8 days, so half of it is gone every 8 days.
10 grams of iodine-131 is left for 24 days.
At 8 days: 10/2=5 grams left
At 16 days: 5/2=2.5 grams left
At 24 days: 2.5/2=1.25 grams left.
**
Your mistake is that you stopped at 16 days.

Every few hundred years most of the planets line up on the same side of the Sun.(Figure 1)Calculate the total force on the Earth
mylen [45]

Answer: 3.7 \times 10^{-4} N

Explanation:

The gravitational pull between two object is given by:

F = G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

Where M and m are the masses of the object, r is the distance between the masses and G = 6.67× 10⁻¹¹ m³kg⁻¹ s⁻² is the gravitational constant.

We have to calculate the net force on Earth due to Venus, Jupiter and Saturn when they are in one line. It means when they are the closest distance.

F_{net] = G\frac{M_eM_v}{r_v^2}+G\frac{M_eM_j}{r_j^2}+G\frac{M_eM_s}{r_s^2}

Mass of Earth, Me = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

Mass of Venus, Mv = 0.815 Me

Mass of Jupiter, Mj = 318 Me

Mass of Saturn, Ms = 95.1 Me

closest distance between Earth and Venus, rv = 38 × 10⁶ km = 0.25 AU

closest distance between Jupiter and Earth, rj = 588 × 10⁶ km = 3.93 AU

closest distance between Earth and Saturn, rs = 1.2 × 10⁹ km = 8.0 AU

where 1 AU = 1.5 × 10¹¹ m

Inserting the values:

F_{net} = G\frac{M_e\times 0.815 M_e}{(0.25AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 318 M_e}{(3.93AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 95.1 M_e}{(8.0AU)^2}\\ \Rightarrow F_{net} = \frac{(GM_e^2)}{(1AU)^2}(\frac{0.815}{0.25^2}+\frac{318}{3.93^2}+\frac{95.1}{8.0^2})=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11} \times (5.98\times 10^{24})^2}{(1.5\times 10^{11})^2}(35.1) = 3.7 \times 10^{-4} N

Two objects are moving at equal speed along a level, frictionless surface. the second object has twice the mass of the first obj
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

They both rises to same height.

Explanation:

When an object is sliding up in friction less surface than according to conservation of energy its potential energy will be converted into kinetic energy.

mgH=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}\\ v=\sqrt{2gH}

Here, m is the mass, v is the velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity and H is the height.

Here the height is independent on the mass of an object and its only depend on velocity.

Now according to the question, two objects have same velocity but they have different masses.

Therefore, they rises to the same height because  height will not change with mass.
