  <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) =

The graph above shows the position x as a function of time for the center of mass of a system of particles of total mass 6. 0 kg
kumpel [21]

The resulting change in momentum of the system will be +18.6 Ns. The momentum is conserved.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of momentum?</h3>

According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.

The given data in the problem is;

m is the mass =6.0 kg

t is the time interval=2 second

From Newton's second law;

\rm \triangle P =m \triangle V \\\\ \triangle P= m(\frac{\triangle x}{\triangle t} )\\\\

From the graph;

\rm \triangle t = 2sec\\\\ \triangle x = (12-8) m

The change in the momentum is;

\rm \triangle P = m\tr(\frac{v-u}{t}) \\\\ \triangle P =9.3 \times \frac{12-8}{2} \\\\ \triangle P= +18.6 \  N.s

Hence, the resulting change in momentum of the system will be +18.6 Ns.

A cube 6.0 cm on each side is made of a metal alloy. After you drill a cylindrical hole 2.0 cm in diameter all the way through a
Crank

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's second law, the definition of density and the geometric relationships that allow us to find the volume of the figures presented.

For the particular case of the Cube with equal sides its volume is determined by

V_c = l^3

V_c = 6^3 = 216cm^3

In the case of perforated material we have that its volume is given according to the cylindrical geometry, that is to say

V_d = \pi r^2*l

V_d = \pi (\frac{2}{2})^2*6

V_d = 6\pi cm^3

In this way the net volume would be

\Delta V = V_c-V_d

\Delta V = 216cm^3-6\pi cm^3

\Delta V = 197.15cm^3 = 197.15*10^{-6}m^3

We need to find the mass, but we have the Weight and Gravity so from Newton's second Law

F= mg

m = \frac{F}{g}

m = \frac{6.6}{9.8}

m = 0.673kg

PART A) From the relation of density as a unit of mass and volume we have to

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

\rho = \frac{0.673}{197.15*10^{-6}}

\rho = 3413.64kg/m^3

PART B) To find the weight of the cube then we apply the ratio of

W = mg

W = V\rho g

W = (216*10^{-6})(3413.64)(9.8)

W = 7.22N

An electric charge q of mass m in an oscillating electric field Eosinot experiences force q Eosinot. Suppose it starts from rest
Masja [62]

Answer:

speed of the charge electric is  v = - (Eo q/m) cos t

Explanation:

The electric charge has a very small mass so it follows the oscillations of the electric field. We force ourselves on the load,

          F = q Eo sint

a) To find the velocity of the particle, let's use Newton's second law to find the acceleration and of this by integration the velocity

        F = ma

        q Eo sint = ma

        a = Eo q / m sint

        a = dv / dt

        dv = adt

        ∫ dv = ∫ a dt

        v-vo = I (Eoq / m) sin  t dt

        v- vo = Eo q / m (-cos t)

We evaluate the integral from the initial point, as the particle starts from rest Vo = 0, for t = 0

        v = - (Eo q / m) cos t

b) Kinetic energy

       

         K = ½ m v2

          K = ½ m (Eoq / m)²2 (sint)²

         K = ¹/₂  Eo² q² / m sin² t

c) The average kinetic energy over a period

          K = ½ m v2

         <v2> = (Eoq / m) 2 <cos2 t>

The average of cos2 t = ½, substitute and calculate

          K = ½ m (Eoq / m)²  ½

          K = ¼ Eo² q² / m
