Their common speed is 1.53 m/s.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed can be defined as the ratio of the distance to the time of a body in motion.

  To calculate their final speed, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • mu+m'u' = V(m+m')............. Equation 1

Where:

  • m = mass of the Lee
  • m' = mass of Mat
  • u = initial speed of Lee
  • u' = initial speed of Mat
  • V = Their common speed.

make V the subject of the equation

  • V = (mu+m'u')/(m+m')........... Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

  • m = 40 kg
  • m' = 80 kg
  • u = 4.6 m/s
  • u' = 0 m/s

Substitute these values into equation 2

  • V = [(40×4.6)+(80×0)]/(40+80)
  • V = 184/120
  • V = 1.53 m/s.

Hence, Their common speed is 1.53 m/s.

The first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth was Sputnik I, launched October 4, 1957. The mass of Sputnik I was 83.5 kg, an
9966 [12]

Answer:

-4.941*10^8J.

Explanation:

To solve this exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to gravitational potential energy, as well as the concept of perigee and apogee of a celestial body.

By conservation of energy we know that,

\Delta U = \Delta_{perogee}-\Delta_{Apogee}

Where,

U= \frac{-GmM_e}{r}

Replacing

\Delta U = \frac{-GmM_e}{r_p}- \frac{-GmM_e}{r_a}

\Delta U = GmM_e (\frac{1}{r_A}-\frac{1}{r_p})

Our values are given by,

m = 85.5Kg

M_e = 5.97*10^{24}Kg

r_A = 7330Km

r_p = 6610Km

G = 6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/Kg^2

Replacing at the equation,

\Delta U = (6.67*10^{-11})(85.5)(5.97*10^{24}) (\frac{1}{7330}-\frac{1}{6610})

\Delta U = -4.941*10^8J

Therefore the Energy necessary for Sputnik I as it moved from apogee to perigee was -4.941*10^8J.

How is high temperature achieved by concave mirror?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

A concave mirror is used in the design of solar furnaces because they converge the parallel sunrays at a point. This helps to increase the temperature of the furnace.

What can you say about a solution of the equation y' = (1/2)y2 just by looking at the differential equation?
noname [10]

The function y must be equal to 0 on any interval on which it is defined. The function y must be increasing (or equal to 0) on any interval on which it is defined.

Analysis of solution by seeing differential equation:

Given differential equation is: y' = (1/2)y2

How do deduce the results just by seeing them?

The equation tells us that:

rate = positive of ( y^2 )

rate = positive of (positive or zero) = positive or zero

Thus, the rate is positive or zero no matter what value we put in the place of y from its valid domain, since.

When the rate is positive or zero, that means the function will never grow upwards. Thus, either increasing or staying at the same level.
