Answer:

the velocity of the boats after the collision is 4.36 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of fish, m₁ = 800 kg

mass of boat, m₂ = 1400 kg

initial velocity of the fish, u₁ = 12 m/s

initial velocity of the boat, u₂ = 0

let the final velocity of the fish-boat after collision = v

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for inelastic collision;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

800 x 12    +   1400 x 0 = v(800 + 1400)

9600 = 2200v

v = 9600/2200

v = 4.36 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the boats after the collision is 4.36 m/s.

A uniform, solid, 2000.0 kgkg sphere has a radius of 5.00 mm. Find the gravitational force this sphere exerts on a 2.10 kgkg poi
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

0.0110284391534\ N

0.0653784219002\ N

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

m_1 = Mass of sphere = 2000 kg

m_2 = Mass of other sphere = 2.1 kg

r = Distance between spheres

Force of gravity is given by

F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 2000\times 2.1}{(5.04\times 10^{-3})^2}\\\Rightarrow F=0.0110284391534\ N

The gravitational force is 0.0110284391534\ N

F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 2000\times 2.1}{(2.07\times 10^{-3})^2}\\\Rightarrow F=0.0653784219002\ N

The gravitational force is 0.0653784219002\ N

Which of the following are thought to be rapidly rotating neutron stars with intense magnetic fields? Choose one answer.a. pulsa
frutty [35]
<h2>Answer: Pulsars</h2>

A <u>pulsar</u> is a neutron star that emits very intense electromagnetic radiation at short and periodic intervals ( rotating really fast) due to its intense magnetic field that induces this emission.  

Nevertheless, it is important to note that all pulsars are neutron stars, but not all neutron stars are pulsars.

Let's clarify:

A neutron star, is the name given to the remains of a supernova. In itself it is the result of the gravitational collapse of a massive supergiant star after exhausting the fuel in its core.  

Neutron stars have a small size for their very high density and they rotate at a huge speed.  

However, the way to know that a pulsar is a neutron star is because of its high rotating speed.

Two balloons are charged with an identical quantity and type of charge: -0.0025 C. They are held apart at a separation distance
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

F = 878.9 N

Explanation:

The electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion is given by Coulomb's Law as follows:

F = kq₁q₂/r²

where,

F = Force pf repulsion between balloons = ?

k = Coulomb's Constant = 9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

q₁ = q₂ = magnitudes of 1st and 2nd charge = 0.0025 C

r = distance between balloons = 8 m

Therefore,

F = (9 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²)(0.0025 C)(0.0025 C)/(8 m)²

<u>F = 878.9 N</u>

A block of aluminium of density 7900 kg/m3 has a volume of 250 cm. Find the<br>mass of the block.​
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

mass of block=2.7 gm

Explanation:

concept: Density=mass/volume

given:ρ=2700 kg/m^3 and v=250 cm^3 (in cm^3 not in m^3)

=> v= convert cm^3 to m^3

there fore= 1 cm^3=1 cm*1 cm*1 cm

i.e 1 cm^3=1/100*1/00*1/100 m^3 => 1 cm^3=1/1000000 m^3

ρ=m/v

=>mass=ρ*volume

=>mass=2700*1/10^-6

=>mass=2.7*10^-3 kg =>2.7 gm
