A 500.0 kg module is attached to a 440.0 kg shuttle craft, which moves at 1050. m/s relative to the stationary main spaceship. T
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

0.955286  j

Explanation:

A 500.0 kg module is attached to a 440.0 kg shuttle craft, which moves at 1050. m/s relative to the stationary main spaceship. Then a small explosion sends the module backward with speed 100.0 m/s relative to the new speed of the shuttle craft. As measured by someone on the main spaceship, by what fraction did the kinetic energy of the module and shuttle craft, Ki, increase because of the explosion?

M=500 kg,  m=440 kg

V=1000 m/s, v = 100 m/s

Let relative speed =Vs

Momentum rule says

(M+m)V=mVs+M(Vs-v)

 940(1000)=500(Vs-100)+440Vs

 940000=500Vs-50000+440Vs

 940Vs=940000+50000

 940Vs=990000

 Vs= 990000/940=1053.19 m/s

So, the module speed = Vs-v=1053.19-100=953.19 m/s

Fractional increase in KE is given by;

Total KE after explosion / He before explosion

=500(953.19)2+ 400(1053.19)2/ 940(1000)2= 0.955286

The swinging pendulum has 10 joules of potential energy at its maximum height at points (1) and (5). If the mass of the pendulum
SVEN [57.7K]

The speed of the pendulum at point 3 is 1.4 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of energy. In fact, the mechanical energy of the pendulum (which is the sum of his potential energy + his kinetic energy) must be conserved. So we can write:

U_1 +K_1 = U_3 + K_3

where

U_1 is the initial potential energy, at the highest position

K_1 is the initial kinetic energy, at the highest position

U_3 is the final potential energy, at the lowest position

K_3 is the final kinetic energy, at the lowest position

We are told that:

U_1 = 10 J is the potential energy of the pendulum at the maximum height

K_1 = 0 (when the pendulum is at maximum height, the speed is zero, so the kinetic energy is zero)

U_3 = 0 (potential energy is zero at the lowest position)

Therefore,

K_3 = U_1 = 10 J

Kinetic energy can be rewritten as

K_3 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 10 kg is the mass of the pendulum

v is its speed at point 3

Solving for v,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2K_3}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(10)}{10}}=1.4 m/s

larisa [96]

I attached the requested diagram.

<em>In the case of the magnetic field in a bar</em> by convention, the direction of the field is taken out of the north pole and towards the south pole of the magnet. These types of images are commonly made of some ferrous material.

<em>In the case of the horseshoe </em>magnet, the highly concentrated magnetic field is distinguished between its legs. In the figure it is shown in a contribution from North to South, again by agreement, however outside the two poles, the magnetic field falls rapidly. A horseshoe magnet is basically a bent bar magnet.

As light from a star spreads out and weakens, do gaps form between the photons?<br>​
Zolol [24]

Answer:

There are no gaps in space between the photons as they travel. If you were to look at a wave then you'd come  to a conclusion that indeed that there aren't any gaps unless they are specifically placed.The light from a distance star indeed spreads out and weakens as it travels, but this just reduces the wave strength and does not introduce gaps.
