Gravitational potential energy, relative to some level =
(mass of the object)
times
(height above the reference level)
times
(acceleration due to gravity) .
The magnitude of Alioth ( the brightest star in the big dipper ) is 1.76 and it is about 81 light years distant from Earth.
Answer:
Explanation:
1 )
We shall apply conservation of momentum law to solve the problem.
mv = ( M +m) V , m and M are masses of small and large object , v is the velocity of small object before collision and V is the velocity of both the objects together after collision .
.5 x .2 = (1.5 + .5)V
V = .05 m /s
2 ) We shall use formula for velocity of object after elastic collision as follows
v₁ =
m₁ and m₂ are masses of first and second object u₁ and u₂ are their initial velocity and v₁ and v₂ are their final velocity.
Putting the values
=
= - .66 m /s
Since the sign is negative so it will be in opposite direction .
