Does a perfectly elastic colission conserve momentum and impulse

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Atom is particle of matter that uniquely defines a chemical element.

Examples of atom:

Hydrogen [ H]
Neon [Ne]
Argon [A]
Iron [Fe]
Calcium [Ca]

<h3>About Atom:</h3>

Atom consists of a central nucleus that is usually surrounded by one or more electrons .Each electron is negatively charged. The nucleus is positively charged and contains one or more relatively heavy particles known as protons and neutrons.

An early model of the atom was developed by the physicist Ernest Rutherford in 1913. He was the first to suggest that atoms are like miniature solar systems except that the attractive force is not caused by gravity, but by opposing electrical charged.

Hope this helps....

Good luck on your assignment...

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.450 m/s intend to dock. The first has a mass of 4.50 ✕ 10

vovangra [49]

Ok, so adopting that the 2nd satellite is at rest and that we're not moving anywhere near the speed of light (so no special relativity considerations), we can just add the two speed together, and say the 1st satellite is moving at 0.9m/s at the 2nd satellite. We can then set up our conservation of momentum equation, m₁v₁+m₂v₂ = m₁v₃+m₂v₄, where I'm calling v 1 and 2 the initial velocities of satellite 1 and 2 and v 3 and 4 the final velocities of satellite 1 and 2 respectively. We know, based on our chosen frame, that v₂ = 0, so that falls out to leave m₁v₁ = m₁v₃+m₂v₄, but we don't know v₃ or v₄, so we need another equation. Let's set up conversation of energy (elastic collisions conserve energy), where we only have to worry about kinetic energy (K = 1/2mv²) for each satellite before and after the collision. So we get 1/2m₁v₁²+1/2m₂v₂² = 1/2m₁v₃²+1/2m₂v₄². Now we have 2 equations and two unknown variables so let's solve with substitution. Let's solve the momentum equation for v₃, v₃ = (m₁v₁ - m₂v₄)/m₁, sub that into the energy equation, cancel the 1/2's and let's drop the v₂ terms since it's zero and we get: m₁v₁² = m₁((m₁v₁ - m₂v₄)/m₁)²+m₂v₄², then after some algebra we get v₄ = sqrt(m₁v₁/((v₁ - m₂/m₁)²+m₂)), then we plug in numbers v₄ = sqrt((4.5*10³*0.9/((0.9-(7.5/4.5))²+7.5*10³) = 0.73 m/s for the 2nd satellite after the collision. Then go back to v₃ = (m₁v₁ - m₂v₄)/m₁ and plug in numbers now that we know v₄ and we get v₃ = (4.5*10³*0.9 - 7.5*10³*0.73)/(4.5*10³) = -0.3167 m/s for the 1st satellite.

All ball is thrown up with a vertical velocity of 54 m/s and a horizontal velocity of 39 m/s. Calculate how many seconds it will

VikaD [51]

5.5 s

Explanation:

The time it takes for the ball to reach its maximum height can be calculated using

$v_y = v_{0y} - gt \Rightarrow t = \dfrac{v_{0y}}{g}$
