Answer:
Explanation:
Law of conservation of momentum is applied in solving collision problem. When two body collides, their momentum after collision can be determined using the law.
The law States that the sum of momentum of two bodies before collision is equal to the sum of their momentum after collision. Before collision, both bodies moves with a different velocity while during some cases, the bodies moves with a common velocity after collision.
Whether they move with or without the same velocity depends on the type of collision that exists between them after the collision. After collision, some object sticks together and move with a common velocity while some doesn't.
If the bodies sticks together after collision, the type of collision that occur is inelastic (energy is not conserved) and if they splits after collision, the type of collision that occur is an elastic collision (energy is conserved).
Let m1 and m2 be the masses of the bodies
u1 and u2 be their velocities before collision
v1 and v2 be their velocities after collision.
According to the law;
m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2
Note that momentum = mass × velocity of the body.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe what you mean is when they eject the old propulsion motors. Yes, they land in the ocean and the US Navy retrieves them for later use.

Explanation:
All potential and kinetic energy is transferred into heat. Therefore keeping the law of conservation of energy valid. No energy is created nor destroyed only changing shape.
Wow ! This will take more than one step, and we'll need to be careful
not to trip over our shoe laces while we're stepping through the problem.
The centripetal acceleration of any object moving in a circle is
(speed-squared) / (radius of the circle) .
Notice that we won't need to use the mass of the train.
We know the radius of the track. We don't know the trains speed yet,
but we do have enough information to figure it out. That's what we
need to do first.
Speed = (distance traveled) / (time to travel the distance).
Distance = 10 laps of the track. Well how far is that ? ? ?
1 lap = circumference of the track = (2π) x (radius) = 2.4π meters
10 laps = 24π meters.
Time = 1 minute 20 seconds = 80 seconds
The trains speed is (distance) / (time)
= (24π meters) / (80 seconds)
= 0.3 π meters/second .
NOW ... finally, we're ready to find the centripetal acceleration.
<span> (speed)² / (radius)
= (0.3π m/s)² / (1.2 meters)
= (0.09π m²/s²) / (1.2 meters)
= (0.09π / 1.2) m/s²
= 0.236 m/s² . (rounded)
If there's another part of the problem that wants you to find
the centripetal FORCE ...
Well, Force = (mass) · (acceleration) .
We know the mass, and we ( I ) just figured out the acceleration,
so you'll have no trouble calculating the centripetal force. </span>
