Answer:

the velocity of the big fish after the launch is 6 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the big fish, m₁ = 5 kg

velocity of the big fish, u₁ = 8 m/s

mass of the small fish, m₂ = 1 kg

velocity of the small fish, u₂ = -4 m/s

Let the final velocity of the big fish after launch = v

Apply the principle of conservation linear momentum;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

5 x 8   + 1 x (-4) = v(5 + 1)

40 - 4 = 6v

36 = 6v

v = 36/6

v =  6 m/s.

Therefore, the velocity of the big fish after the launch is 6 m/s.

Name five characteristics of a star that can be determined by measuring its spectrum. Explain how you would use a spectrum to de
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Chemical composition, Temperature, Radial velocity, Size or diameter of the star, Rotation.

Explanation:  

Elemental abundances are determined by analyzing the relative strengths of the absorption lines in the spectrum of a star.

The Spectral class to which the star belongs gives the information related to the temperature of the star. It is the spectral lines that determine the spectral class O B A F G K M are the spectral classes.

By measuring the wavelengths of the lines in the star's spectrum gives the radial velocity. Doppler shift is the method used to find the radial velocity.

A star can be classified as a giant or a dwarf . A giant star will have narrow width spectral lines whereas a dwarf star has wider spectral lines.

Broadening of the spectral lines will determine the star's rotation.

Wilma can mow a lawn in 80 minutes. Rocky can mow the same lawn in 120 minutes. Construct an equation that would allow you to de
xeze [42]

Answer:

t = 96 minutes

Explanation:

Time to mow 1 lawn by Wilma is 80 minutes

so work done in 1 minute by Wilma is given as

W_1 = \frac{1}{80}

Similarly Rocky mow same lawn in 120 minute

so work done in 1 minute by Rocky is given as

W_2 = \frac{1}{120}

now we know that they both worked by "t" time

so total work performed by them

W = \frac{t}{80} + \frac{t}{120}

they both mow 2 lawns then it is given as

2 = (\frac{1}{80} + \frac{1}{120})t

t = 96 minutes
