<span>Air resistance will eventually equal the thrust force, so there is no resultant force meaning the car will stay at the same speed and can no longer accelerate. </span>

A distant large asteroid is detected that might pose a threat to Earth. If it were to continue moving in a straight line at cons

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.

Explanation:

To escape earth, the kinetic energy of the asteroid must be greater or equal to its gravitational potential energy:

$K.E\geq P.E$

or

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 \geq G\dfrac{Mm}{R}$

where $m$ is the mass of the asteroid, $R= 24,000,000\:m$ is its distance form earth's center, $M = 5.9*10^{24}kg$ is the mass of the earth, and $G = 6.7*10^{-11}m^3/kg\: s^2$ is the gravitational constant.

Solving for $v$ we get:

$v \geq \sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R} }$

putting in numerical values gives

$v \geq \sqrt{\dfrac{2(6.7*10^{-11})(5.9*10^{24})}{(24,000,000)} }$

$\boxed{v\geq 5739.5m/s}$

in kilometers this is

$v\geq5.7395m/s.$

Hence, the minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.

The rear window in a car is approximately a rectangle, 2.0 m wide and 0.65 m high. The inside rearview mirror is 0.50 m from the

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

0.43 m

Explanation:

Angle of incident and angle of reflection is same.

tan Θh = L' / x (eye)

L' = Length of the window

x (eye) = Distance of the mirror from the eye

tan Θh = L / (x (eye) + xw)

xw = Distance of the mirror from the window

L'/ x (eye) = L / ( x (eye) + xw)

L' = L*x (eye) / ( x (eye) + xw)

L' = (2*0.5) / (0.5 + 1.8)

L' = 0.43 m

A physics professor did daredevil stunts in his spare time. His last stunt was an attempt to jump across a river on a motorcycle

tatiyna

Answer:

a) 17.8 m/s

b) 28.3 m

Explanation:

Given:

angle A = 53.0°

sinA = 0.8

cosA = 0.6

width of the river,d = 40.0 m,

the far bank was 15.0 m lower than the top of the ramp h = 15.0 m,

The river itself was 100 m below the ramp H = 100 m,

(a) find speed v

vertical displacement

$-h= vsinA\times t-gt^2/2$

putting values h=15 m, v=0.8

$-15 = 0.8vt - 4.9t^2$ ............. (1)

horizontal displacement d = vcosA×t = 0.6×v ×t

so v×t = d/0.6 = 40/0.6

plug it into (1) and get

$-15 = 0.8\times40/0.6 - 4.9t^2$

solving for t we get

t = 3.734 s

also, v = (40/0.6)/t = 40/(0.6×3.734) = 17.8 m/s

(b) If his speed was only half the value found in (a), where did he land?

v = 17.8/2 = 8.9 m/s

vertical displacement = $-H =v sinA t - gt^2/2$

⇒ $4.9t^2 - 8.9\times0.8t - 100 = 0$

t = 5.30 s

then

d =v×cosA×t = 8.9×0.6×5.30= 28.3 m
