Two astronauts are playing catch in a zero gravitational field. Astronaut 1 of mass m1 is initially moving to the right with spe

ed v1 . Astronaut 2 of mass m2 is initially moving to the right with speed v2>v1 . Astronaut 1 throws a ball of mass m with speed u relative to herself in a direction opposite to her motion. Astronaut 2 catches the ball. The final speed of astronaut 1 is vf,1 and the final speed of astronaut 2 is vf,2 .What is the speed vf,1 of astronaut 1 after throwing the ball?

The final velocity (v_1_f) of the first astronaut will be greater than the <em>final velocity</em> of the second astronaut (v_2_f) to ensure that the total initial momentum of both astronauts is equal to the total final momentum of both astronauts <em>after throwing the ball</em>.

The given parameters;

  • Mass of the first astronaut, = m₁
  • Mass of the second astronaut, = m₂
  • Initial velocity of the first astronaut, = v₁
  • Initial velocity of the second astronaut, = v₂ > v₁
  • Mass of the ball, = m
  • Speed of the ball, = u
  • Final velocity of the first astronaut, = v_f_1
  • Final velocity of the second astronaut, = v_f_2

The final velocity of the first astronaut relative to the second astronaut after throwing the ball is determined by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum.

m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = m_2v_2_f + m_1v_1_f

if v₂ > v₁, then v_1_f > v_2_f, to conserve the linear momentum.

Thus, the final velocity (v_1_f) of the first astronaut will be greater than the <em>final velocity</em> of the second astronaut (v_2_f) to ensure that the total initial momentum of both astronauts is equal to the total final momentum of both astronauts after throwing the ball.

Maria is a geologist studying a particular rock layer in a local mountain range. One of her colleagues had previously discovered
NARA [144]

Answer:

Relative dating methods are unable to determine the absolute age of an object or event, but can determine the impossibility of a particular event happening before or after another event of which the absolute date is well known.

So, Maria is using relative dating method

melomori [17]

Answer:

<em>Amplitude= 8 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>The Amplitude of a Wave</u>

Sinusoidal Function  refers to a mathematical curve with a smooth and periodic oscillation. Its name comes from the sine function and is characterized by the amplitude or the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body measured from its equilibrium position.

To calculate the amplitude from a graph, we measure the maximum point and the minimum point the wave reaches. Then we subtract both values and divide the result by 2.

The shown wave in the figure has a maximum value of 8 m and a minimum value of -8 m. The distance from the maximum to the minimum is 8-(-8)= 16 m, thus the amplitude is 16/2= 8m.

Amplitude= 8 m
