Particle A and particle B are held together with a compressed spring between them. When they are released, the spring pushes the

m apart, and they then fly off in opposite directions, free of the spring. The mass of A is 8.00 times the mass of B, and the energy stored in the spring was 73 J. Assume that the spring has negligible mass and that all its stored energy is transferred to the particles. (a) Once that transfer is complete, what is the kinetic energy of particle A

Answer:

 K_a = 8,111 J

Explanation:

This is a collision exercise, let's define the system as formed by the two particles A and B, in this way the forces during the collision are internal and the moment is conserved

initial instant. Just before dropping the particles

          p₀ = 0

final moment

          p_f = m_a v_a + m_b v_b

          p₀ = p_f

          0 = m_a v_a + m_b v_b

tells us that

          m_a = 8 m_b

         

           0 = 8 m_b v_a + m_b v_b

           v_b = - 8 v_a                    (1)

indicate that the transfer is complete, therefore the kinematic energy is conserved

starting point

           Em₀ = K₀ = 73 J

final point. After separating the body

          Em_f = K_f = ½ m_a v_a² + ½ m_b v_b²

           K₀ = K_f

           73 = ½ m_a (v_a² + v_b² / 8)

           

we substitute equation 1

           73 = ½ m_a (v_a² + 8² v_a² / 8)

           73 = ½ m_a (9 v_a²)

           73/9 = ½ m_a (v_a²) = K_a

            K_a = 8,111 J

An Iowa class warship holds the record for the fastest warship. If the ship accelerates uniformly from rest at 0.15 m/s² for 2 m
Mumz [18]
The equation to be used is the derived formulas for rectilinear motion at a constant acceleration. The formula for acceleration is

a = (v - v₀)/t
where
v and v₀ are the initial and final velocities, respectively
t is the time
a is the acceleration

Since it started from rest, v₀ = 0. Using the formula:

0.15 m/s² = (v - 0)/[2 minutes*(60 s/1 min)]
Solving for v,
v = 18 m/s

In the simplified version of Kepler's third law, P 2 = a3, the units of the orbital period P and the semimajor axis a of the ell
Orlov [11]

Answer:

The units of the orbital period P is <em>years </em> and the units of the semimajor axis a is <em>astronomical units</em>.

Explanation:

P² = a³ is the simplified version of Kepler's third law which governs the orbital motion of large bodies that orbit around a star. The orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the star at the focal point.

Therefore, if you square the year of each planet and divide it by the distance that it is from the star, you will get the same number for all the other planets.

Thus, the units of the orbital period P is <em>years </em> and the units of the semimajor axis a is <em>astronomical units</em>.
