Answer: B

Explanation:

You can use the conservation of momentum, under the assumption that no mass was lost when the collision occurred. The initial momentum of the system must equal the final momentum of the system. Our system is the region including, and only including, the satellite and the space debris. Classical momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity:

$p_i=p_f$

$m_1v_1_i+m_2v_2_i=m_1v_1_f+m_2v_2_f$

Due to mass 1 equaling mass 2, we can factor these quantities out:

$m(v_1_i+v_2_i)=m(v_1_f+v_2_f)$

Cancel the mass term on both sides to get:

$v_1_i+v_2_i=v_1_f+v_2_f$

We have the initial and final velocities for everything besides the final velocity of the satellite. Plug everything in:

$3700m/s+6000m/s=v_1_f+3700m/s$

$v_1_f=6000m/s$

Rest and motion are relative terms why?

krok68 [10]

Answer:

Rest and motion are the relative terms because they depend on the observer's frame of reference. So if two different observers are not at rest with respect to each other, then they too get different results when they observe the motion or rest of a body.

A wave pulse travels down a slinky. The mass of the slinky is m = 0.87 kg and is initially stretched to a length L = 6.8 m. The

Ber [7]

Answer:

1. $v=14.2259\ m.s^{-1}$

2. $F_T=25.8924\ N$

3. $\lambda=29.6373\ m$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of slinky, $m=0.87\ kg$

length of slinky, $L=6.8\ m$

amplitude of wave pulse, $A=0.23\ m$

time taken by the wave pulse to travel down the length, $t=0.478\ s$

frequency of wave pulse, $f=0.48\ Hz=0.48\ s^{-1}$

$\rm Speed\ of\ wave\ pulse=Length\ of\ slinky\div time\ taken\ by\ the\ wave\ to\ travel$

$v=\frac{6.8}{0.478}$

$v=14.2259\ m.s^{-1}$

<em>Now, we find the linear mass density of the slinky.</em>

$\mu=\frac{m}{L}$

$\mu=\frac{0.87}{6.8}\ kg.m^{-1}$

We have the relation involving the tension force as:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{F_T}{\mu} }$

$14.2259=\sqrt{\frac{F_T}{\frac{0.87}{6.8}} }$

$202.3774=F_T\times \frac{6.8}{0.87}$

$F_T=25.8924\ N$

We have the relation for wavelength as:

$\lambda=\frac{v}{f}$

$\lambda=\frac{14.2259}{0.48}$

$\lambda=29.6373\ m$

Define speed and what is it’s SI unit.

Nadusha1986 [10]

Speed can be thought of as the rate at which an object covers distance. ... Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the metre per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometre per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour........?
