If the astronaut from question #9 collides with a satellite and comes to a complete stop, where did his momentum go? Explain this in terms of conservation of momentum.

    m v ´- MV = (m + M) v ’

Explanation:

If the astronaut initially has a speed v the satellite has a speed V, we can define a system that is formed by the two bodies, therefore the forces during the collision are internal, so the momentum is conserved

initial instant. Before the crash

          p₀ = m v - MV

final instatne. After the crash, we have two cases

1) inelastic shock

          m_f = (m + M) v '

          p₀ = p_f

         m v ´- MV = (m + M) v ’

2) elastic collision with the astronaut's velocity, zero in this case the moment remains

        m v - MV = mv ’+ Mv’

also the kinetic energy is conserved

       mv'2 + M V2 = mv'2 + m v'2

with these two equations we can find the speed of the cars

at positions a, g kinetic energy is maximum.

at position d, potential energy is maximum.

this is an example of "committed" time.

committed time, as contracted time, takes need over essential and available time since it is seen as profitable work. it alludes to the time allotted to keep up a home and family. at the point when a man is commuting using committed time this individual may feel that the drive is an obligation to family, for example, strolling youngsters to class or driving a mate to work. contracted and committed time clients may feel that their commute could really compare to the commute of important or leisure time clients on the grounds that their commute is profitable work. in this manner, they might be more disposed to pick a mechanized method of movement.
