Answer:

$v_{2f} = \frac{2vm_1}{m_2 + m_1}$

Explanation:

If the collision is elastic and exactly head-on, then we can use the law of momentum conservation for the motion of the 2 balls

Before the collision

$P_i = m_1v$

After the collision

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

So using the law of momentum conservation

$P_i = P_f$

$m_1v = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

We can solve for the speed of ball 1 post collision in terms of others:

$v_{1f} = v - v_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1}$

Their kinetic energy is also conserved before and after collision

$m_1v^2/2 = m_1v_{1f}^2/2 + m_2v_{2f}^2/2$

$m_1v^2 = m_1v_{1f}^2 + m_2v_{2f}^2$

From here we can plug in $v_{1f} = v - v_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1}$

$m_1v^2 = m_1\left(v - v_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1}\right)^2 + m_2v_{2f}^2$

$m_1v^2 = m_1\left(v^2 - 2vv_{2f}\frac{m_2}{m_1} + v_{2f}^2\frac{m_2^2}{m_1^2}\right) + m_2v_{2f}^2$

$m_1v^2 = m_1v^2 - 2vv_{2f}m_2 + v_{2f}^2\frac{m_2^2}{m_1} + m_2v_{2f}^2$

$v_{2f}^2(m_2 + \frac{m_2^2}{m_1}) - 2vm_2v_{2f} = 0$

$v_{2f}(1 + \frac{m_2}{m_1}) = 2v$

$v_{2f} = \frac{2v}{1 + \frac{m_2}{m_1}} = \frac{2v}{\frac{m_1 + m_2}{m_1}} = \frac{2vm_1}{m_2 + m_1}$

A shuttle on Earth has a mass of 4.5 E 5 kg. Compare its weight on Earth to its weight while in orbit at a height of 6.3 E 5 met

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

83%

Explanation:

On the surface, the weight is:

W = GMm / R²

where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the shuttle, and R is the radius of the Earth.

In orbit, the weight is:

w = GMm / (R+h)²

where h is the height of the shuttle above the surface of the Earth.

The ratio is:

w/W = R² / (R+h)²

w/W = (R / (R+h))²

Given that R = 6.4×10⁶ m and h = 6.3×10⁵ m:

w/W = (6.4×10⁶ / 7.03×10⁶)²

w/W = 0.83

The shuttle in orbit retains 83% of its weight on Earth.
