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.

Is position a base or derived quantity?
amid [387]

Position is measured in meters (m), so it is a base quantity.

<h3>What is base quantity?</h3>

A base or fundamental  quantity is a physical quantity, in which other quantities are derived from.

Example of fundamental quantities;

  • Mass
  • Length (position)
  • Time
  • Temperature
  • Amount of substance

<h3>What is a derived quantity?</h3>

Derived quantities are those quantities obtained or expressed from fundamental quantities.

Example of derived quantities;

  • Speed
  • Acceleration
  • Volume
  • Area
  • Density, etc

Thus, we can conclude that position measured in meters (m) is a base quantity.
