The force of gravity acting between the Earth and the Hubble telescope can be expressed with the equation:

F=G\frac{M m}{r^2}

In this equation:

G represents the gravitational constant

M denotes the mass of the Earth

m stands for the mass of the Hubble telescope

r signifies the distance from the Earth’s center to the Hubble telescope


By rearranging and plugging in the known values, we can calculate the mass of the telescope:

m=\frac{F r^2}{GM}=\frac{(9.21 \cdot 10^4 N)(6.94 \cdot 10^6 m)^2}{(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} )(5.98 \cdot 10^{24}kg) } = 11121 kg

Two carts are involved in an elastic collision. Cart A with mass 0.550 kg is moving towards Cart B with mass 0.550 kg, which is
Sav [3153]

Answer:

A) v_b=0.8\ m.s^{-1} denotes the resultant velocity of cart B post-collision.

B) KE_A=0.176\ J

C) KE_B=0\ J

D) ke_a=0\ J

E) ke_B=0.176\ J

F) Yes, kinetic energy remains conserved in this situation because both colliding bodies have identical mass.

G) Yes, momentum is conserved in every elastic collision.

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of car A, m_a=0.55\ kg
  • mass of car B, m_b=0.55\ kg
  • initial velocity of car A, u_a=0.8\ m.s^{-1}
  • final velocity of car A, v_a=0\ m.s^{-1}

A)

The question mentions the cars experience an elastic collision:

By applying momentum conservation principles:

m_a.u_a+m_b.u_b=m_a.v_a+m_b.v_b

0.55\times 0.8+0.55\times 0=0.55\times 0+0.55\times v_b

v_b=0.8\ m.s^{-1} denotes the resulting velocity of cart B after collision.

B)

Initial kinetic energy of cart A:

KE_A=\frac{1}{2} m_a.u_a^2

KE_A=0.5\times 0.55\times 0.8^2

KE_A=0.176\ J

C)

Initial kinetic energy of cart A:

KE_B=\frac{1}{2} \times m_b.u_b^2

KE_B=0.5\times 0.55\times 0^2

KE_B=0\ J

D)

The final kinetic energy of cart A:

ke_A=\frac{1}{2} m_a.v_a^2

ke_a=0.5\times 0.55\times 0^2

ke_a=0\ J

E)

The final kinetic energy of cart B:

ke_B=\frac{1}{2} m_b.v_b^2

ke_B=0.5\times 0.55\times 0.8^2

ke_B=0.176\ J

F)

Yes, kinetic energy is conserved in this case due to both masses being identical in the collision.

G)

Indeed, momentum is consistently conserved in elastic collisions.

A car in a movie moving at 20 m/s flies off a cliff that is 74.3m tall. How long is the car in the air for and how far does the
Softa [3030]
We apply the formula S=½gt², where S represents the vertical distance of 74.3m, and g is the acceleration due to gravity valued at 9.8 m/s². Therefore, t=√(2S/g)=3.884 seconds. Consequently, the car remains airborne for around 3.894 seconds. Its horizontal journey is vt=20×3.894=77.88m.

F = π/4 ρ d² v²

Explanation:

The formula for force is mass multiplied by acceleration:

F = ma

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity over the change in time:

F = m Δv / Δt

Since there is no rebound effect, Δv is equal to v.

F = m v / Δt

Mass can be calculated as density multiplied by volume:

F = ρ V v / Δt

Flow rate describes the volume per time:

F = ρ Q v

Flow rate is determined by velocity multiplied by the cross-sectional area:

F = ρ (v A) v

This simplifies to F = ρ A v²

The area of a circle is calculated as pi times the square of the radius, or as pi/4 times the diameter squared:

F = ρ (π/4 d²) v²

Hence, F = π/4 ρ d² v²

A solid metal sphere of diameter D is spinning in a gravity-free region of space with an angular velocity of ωi. The sphere is s
ValentinkaMS [3465]

Answer:

0.6

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a sphere is \frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{D}{2})^3

Thus \pi * r^2 * (\frac{D}{2} ) = \frac{4}{3} \pi (\frac{D}{2})^3

The radius of the disk is 1.15(\frac{ D}{2} )

Applying angular momentum conservation;

The M_i of the sphere = \frac{2}{5} m \frac{D}{2}^2

M_i of the disk = m*\frac{ \frac{1.15*D}{2}^2 }{2}

\frac{wd}{ws} = \frac{\frac{2}{5}m * \frac{D}{2}^2}{ m * \frac{(\frac{`.`5*D}{2})^2 }{2} }

= 0.6
