Explanation:

When a meteoroid enters the earth's atmosphere at high speed, a streak of light called meteor is observed. This light effect is produced by the ionization of air molecules in the upper atmosphere (at altitudes from 76 to 100 km). Most of these are the size of a grain of sand.

Two 2.0 kg bodies, A and B, collide. The velocities before the collision are ~vA = (15ˆi + 30ˆj) m/s and ~vB = (−10ˆi + 5.0ˆj) m

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Part a)

$10\hat i + 15\hat j = \vec v$

Part b)

$\Delta K = 500 J$

Explanation:

As we know that there is no external force on the system of two masses so here total momentum of the system will remains conserved

so we can say

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

$(2kg)(15\hat i + 30 \hat j) + (2 kg)(-10\hat i + 5\hat j) = 2kg(-5\hat i + 20\hat j) + 2\vec v$

$5\hat i + 35\hat j = (-5\hat i + 20\hat j) +\vec v$

$10\hat i + 15\hat j = \vec v$

Part b)

magnitude of the initial speed of A = $\sqrt{15^2 + 30^2} = 33.54 m/s$

magnitude of the initial speed of B = $\sqrt{10^2 + 5^2} = 11.18 m/s$

magnitude of final speed of A = $\sqrt{5^2 + 20^2} = 20.61 m/s$

magnitude of final speed of B = $\sqrt{10^2 + 15^2} = 18.03 m/s$

Now change in total kinetic energy is given as

$\Delta K = (\frac{1}{2}m_1v_{1i}^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{2i}^2) - (\frac{1}{2}m_1v_{1f}^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_{2f}^2)$

$\Delta K = (\frac{1}{2}2(33.54)^2 + \frac{1}{2}2(11.18)^2) - (\frac{1}{2}2(20.61)^2 + \frac{1}{2}2(18.03)^2)$

$\Delta K = 500 J$

3. You are flying 2586 miles from San Francisco to New York. An hour into the flight, you are 600

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

268.2 m/s (1dp)

Explanation:

600 miles = 965,606m (1mile = 1609.34m)

965606/60 = 16,0943.43 ..... (metres traveled every minute)

16,0943.43/60 = 268.2238 .....
