A package of mass 5 kg sits on an airless asteroid of mass 7.6 × 1020 kg and radius 8.0 × 105 m. We want to launch the package i

n such a way that it will never come back, and when it is very far from the asteroid it will be traveling with speed 170 m/s. We have a large and powerful spring whose stiffness is 2.8 × 105 N/m. How much must we compress the spring?

Answer:

s =  1.7 m

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following:

Mass of package (m) = 5 kg

mass of the asteriod (M) = 7.6 x 10^{20} kg

radius = 8 x 10^5 m

velocity of package (v) = 170 m/s

spring constant (k) = 2.8 N/m

compression (s) = ?

Assuming that no non conservative force is acting on the system here, the initial and final energies of the system will be the same. Therefore  

• Ei = Ef

• Ei = energy in the spring + gravitational potential energy of the system

• Ei = \frac{1}{2}ks^{2} + \frac{GMm}{r}

• Ef = kinetic energy of the object

• Ef = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}  

• \frac{1}{2}ks^{2} + (-\frac{GMm}{r}) = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}  

• s = \sqrt{\frac{m}[k}(v^{2}+\frac{2GM}{r})}

s = \sqrt{\frac{5}[2.8 x 10^5}(170^{2}+\frac{2 x 6.67 x10^{-11} x 7.6 x 10^{20}}{8 x 10^5})}

s =  1.7 m

An Olympic discus thrower (~100 kg) launches the 2.0 kg discus by spinning rapidly (~4 times per second) with arm outstretched (
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

F = 1263.03 N

Explanation:s

given,                      

mass of the disk thrower = 100 Kg

mass of the disk = 2 Kg                

angular speed of the disk  = 4 rev/s

arm outstretched = 1 m                  

centripetal force of the disk in the circular path

F = m ω² r                        

ω = 4 x 2 x π        

ω = 25.13 rad/s

F = m ω² r                      

F = 2 x 25.13² x 1

F = 1263.03 N                                              

hence, centripetal force equal to the F = 1263.03 N

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

30N*s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 10N

Time = 3 seconds

To find the impulse;

Impulse = force * time

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Impulse = 10 * 3

Impulse = 30Ns
