A comet is traveling through space with speed 3.01 ✕ 104 m/s when it encounters an asteroid that was at rest. The comet and the
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: 8.493(10)^{-3} m/s

Explanation:

According to the conservation of linear momentum principle, the initial momentum p_{i} (before the collision) must be equal to the final momentum p_{f} (after the collision):

p_{i}=p_{f} (1)

In addition, the initial momentum is:

p_{i}=m_{1}V_{1}+m_{2}V_{2} (2)

Where:

m_{1}=1.71(10)^{14} kg is the mass of the comet

m_{2}=6.06(10)^{20} kg is the mass of the asteroid

V_{1}=3.01(10)^{4} m/s is the velocity of the comet, which is positive

V_{2}=0 m/s is the velocity of the asteroid, since it is at rest

And the final momentum is:

p_{f}=(m_{1}+m_{2})V_{f} (3)

Where:

V_{f} is the final velocity

Then :

m_{1}V_{1}+m_{2}V_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})V_{f} (4)

Isolating V_{f}:

V_{f}=\frac{m_{1}V_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}} (5)

V_{f}=\frac{(1.71(10)^{14} kg)(3.01(10)^{4} m/s)}{1.71(10)^{14} kg+6.06(10)^{20} kg}

Finally:

V_{f}=8.493(10)^{-3} m/s This is the final velocity, which is also in the positive direction.

What do scientitsts do to easily share mesurment data they can understand
Leona [35]
There are a few ways to do this- unfortunately different fields are better at it than others! Medical research is generally pretty good, some other fields likewise very good, some not as much. Basically, though, what they do is use standadisation- they agree on the terminology, units of data, statistical measures, and so forth, that will be used in that scientific field. As much as possible, every scientist in the field uses those standards so everyone working in the field should recognise it. For instance, in clinical trials, there is very good agreement worldwide on what the different metrics we use are- e.g. in cancer research, we usually want to know the 5-year survival rate (meaning the percentage of patients still alive 5 years after diagnosis). So anyone with the right training should be able to pick up a clinical trial report and understand what the results are and what the report is saying.

A particle moves along the x axis. It is intially at the position 0.270 m, moving with velocity 0.140 m/s and acceleration -0.32
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

The position of the particle is -2.34 m.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of position of a particle moving in a straight line with constant acceleration is the following:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

Where:

x = position of the particle at a time t:

x0 = initial position.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time

a = acceleration

We have the following information:

x0 = 0.270 m

v0 = 0.140 m/s

a = -0.320 m/s²

t = 4.50 s  (In the question, where it says "4.50 m/s^2" it should say "4.50 s". I have looked on the web and have confirmed it).

Then, we have all the needed data to calculate the position of the particle:

x = x0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · a · t²

x = 0.270 m + 0.140 m/s · 4.50 s - 1/2 · 0.320 m/s² · (4.50 s)²

x = -2.34 m

The position of the particle is -2.34 m.

g If the x-component of a force vector is 5.69 newtons and its y-component is 8.00 newtons, then what is its magnitude?
beks73 [17]

Answer:

F = 9.82 N

Explanation:

given,

Force x-component = 5.69 N

Force y-component = 8 N

magnitude of force = ?

Resultant of force

F = \sqrt{F_x^2 + F_y^2}

F = \sqrt{5.69^2 + 8^2}

F = \sqrt{32.3761 + 64}

F = \sqrt{96.3761}

F = 9.82 N

Hence, the magnitude of force is equal to 9.82 N
