Answer:
The total amount of energy that would have been released if the asteroid hit earth = The kinetic energy of the asteroid = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J = 1.29 PetaJoules = 1.29 PJ
1 PJ = 10¹⁵ J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy = mv²/2
velocity of the asteroid is given as 7.8 km/s = 7800 m/s
To obtain the mass, we get it from the specific gravity and diameter information given.
Density = specific gravity × 1000 = 3 × 1000 = 3000 kg/m³
But density = mass/volume
So, mass = density × volume.
Taking the informed assumption that the asteroid is a sphere,
Volume = 4πr³/3
Diameter = 30 m, r = D/2 = 15 m
Volume = 4π(15)³/3 = 14137.2 m³
Mass of the asteroid = density × volume = 3000 × 14137.2 = 42411501 kg = 4.24 × 10⁷ kg
Kinetic energy of the asteroid = mv²/2 = (4.24 × 10⁷)(7800²)/2 = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J
Explanation:
sinces : Momentum = velocity × mass
then : 30 = 10 × m and m = 30 ÷ 10 = 3 kg
Answer:
when a two bodies A and B are moving at an angle 180° with each other then the relative velocity is the sum of bodies the velocity .i.e,
when the bodies move the opposite direction
then their relative velocity is the sum of individual velocities.
Answer:
V1=<u>2.5ft3</u>
<u>V2=1ft3</u>
n=1.51
Explanation:
PART A:
the volume of each state is obtained by multiplying the mass by the specific volume in each state
V=volume
v=especific volume
m=mass
V=mv
state 1
V1=m.v1
V1=2lb*1.25ft3/lb=<u>2.5ft3</u>
state 2
V2=m.v2
V2=2lb*0.5ft3/lb= <u> 1ft3</u>
PART B:
since the PV ^ n is constant we can equal the equations of state 1 and state 2
P1V1^n=P2V2^n
P1/P2=(V2/V1)^n
ln(P1/P2)=n . ln (V2/V1)
n=ln(P1/P2)/ ln (V2/V1)
n=ln(15/60)/ ln (1/2.5)
n=1.51
