Answer with Explanation:

One hypothesis above would probably rely on the situation called <em>"inelastic collision." </em>The two carts are travelling towards each other at different speed. So, this means that once they collide, the kinetic energy will not be conserved but will be transferred as <em>sound energy, thermal energy or material deformation</em>. The impact will be great, thus a <u>greater fraction of kinetic energy will be lost from the system.</u>

Consider as a system the Sun with Saturn in a circular orbit around it. Find the magnitude of the change in the velocity of the
Doss [256]

Answer:

v_{su} = 19.44 m/s

Explanation:

m_{su}=5.68x10^{29}kg\\m_{sa}=5.68x10^{26}kg

T=9.29x10^8\\r_{o}=1.43x10^{12}

If the sun considered as x=0 on the axis to put the center of the mass as a:

m_{su}*r_{o}=(m_{sa}+m_{su})*r_{1}

solve to r1

r_1=\frac{m_{sa}*r_{o}}{m_{sa}+m_{su}}=\frac{5.68x10^{26}*1.43x10^{12}}{5.68x10^{26}+5.68x10^{26}}

r_1=1.428x10^9m

Now convert to coordinates centered on the center of mass.  call the new coordinates x' and y' (we won't need y').  Now since in the sun centered coordinates the angular momentum was  

L = \frac{m_{sa}*2*pi*r_1^2}{T}

where T = orbital period

then L'(x',y') = L(x) by conservation of angular momentum.  So that means

L_{sun}=\frac{m_{sa}*2*\pi *( 2r_{o}*r_1 -r_1^2)}{T}

Since

L_{su}= m_{su}*v_{su}*r_1

then

v_{su}=\frac{m_{sa}*2*pi*(2r_{o}*r_{1}-r_{1}^2)}{T*m_{sa}*r_1}

v_{su} = 19.44 m/s

The sun is the center of the solar system which is surrounded by the nine planets and they tend to orbit the sun in concentric circles with the sun as the center.

<h3>What is the solar system?</h3>

The term solar system has to do with the arrangement of the sun and the planets. The sun lies at the focus of the solar system. Now we know that there are nine planets that orbit around the sun. The distance between the planets and the sun depends on their relative proximity to each other.

Thus, the sun is the center of the solar system which is surrounded by the nine planets and they tend to orbit the sun in concentric circles with the sun as the center.

A rope exerts a 280 N force while pulling an 80 Kg skier upward along a hill inclined at 12o. The rope pulls parallel to the hil
user100 [1]

Answer:

The speed of the skier after moving 100 m up the slope are of V= 25.23 m/s.

Explanation:

F= 280 N

m= 80 kg

α= 12º

μ= 0.15

d= 100m

g= 9,8 m/s²

N= m*g*sin(α)

N= 163 Newtons

Fr= μ * N

Fr= 24.45 Newtons

∑F= m*a

a= (280N - 24.5N) / 80kg

a= 3.19 m/s²

d= a * t² / 2

t=√(2*d/a)

t= 7.91 sec

V= a* t

V= 3.19 m/s² * 7.91 s

V= 25.23 m/s
