Meteorite On October 9, 1992, a 27-pound meteorite struck a car in Peekskill, NY, creating a dent about 22 cm deep. If the initi

al speed of the meteorite was 550 m/s, what was the average force exerted on the meteorite by the car?

Answer:

8427375 N

Explanation:

From newton's equation of motion,

F = ma................. Equation 1

Where F = average force exerted on the meteorite by the car, m = mass of the meteorite, a = acceleration.

We can find the value of acceleration from newton's equation of motion

using,

v² = u²+2as.................. Equation 2

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, a = acceleration, s = distance.

Make a the subject of the equation

a = (v²-u²)/2s............... Equation 3

Note: When the meteorite struck the car, it was brought to rest

Given: u = 550 m/s, v = 0 m/s ( brought to rest), s = 22 cm = 0.22 m

Substitute into equation 3

a = (0²-550²)/(2×0.22)

a = -302500/0.44

a = -687500 m/s²

Also given: m = 27 pound = (27×0.454) = 12.258 kg

Substitute into equation 1

F = 12.258(-687500)

F = -8427375 N

Note: The negative sign tells that the force act in opposite direction to the motion of the meteorite

Answer:

The average force exerted on the meteorite by the car is 8.435x10⁶N

Explanation:

Given:

m = 27 lb = 12.27 kg

D = 22 cm = 0.22 m

v1 = 550 m/s

The acceleration of the meteorite is:

v_{2} ^{2} =v_{1} ^{2}+2aD\\0=550^{2} +2a(0.22)\\a=-\frac{550^{2} }{2*0.22} =-687500m/s^{2}

Negative sign indicates opposite to the initial velocity. The average force is equal to:

Magnitude of a = 687500 m/s²

F = m*a = 12.27 * 687500 = 8.435x10⁶N

What is the resistance of a carbon rod at 25.8 ∘C if its resistance is 0.0200 Ω at 0.0 ∘C ?
torisob [31]

0.02020 ohm is the resistance of a carbon rod at 25.8 ∘C if its resistance is 0.0200 Ω at 0.0 ∘C.

<h3 /><h3>What is a resistor?</h3>

A resistor is an electrical component that controls or restricts how much electrical current can pass across a circuit in an electronic device. A specified voltage can be supplied via resistors to an active device like a transistor.

The temperature of the resistor varies based on the variation in the temperature. The equation that describes the relationship between the two of them is:

R = R0[1+ alpha(T-T0)]  where:

R is the new resistance we are looking for

alpha is the temperature coefficient of resistance. For carbon rod, alpha = ₋ 4.8 x 10^{-4}(1/°c)

T0 is the standard temperature =25.8°C

R0 is the resistance at T0 = 0.0200 ohms

T is the temperature at which we want to get R = 0

Substitute in the equation to get R as follows:

R = 0.0200 [1+( ₋ 4.8 x 10^{-4}) (0-25.8)] = 0.02020 ohm

When exposed to a radioactive source which emits 1.2-MeV gamma-rays, a particular material is found to have a half-value thickne
iren2701 [21]

Answer:E

Explanation:

It is given that Energy of gamma ray is E=1.2 Mev

Shielding effect can be measured by measuring the fraction of gamma rays blocked by shield. If certain thickness will able to block half the radiation then to block 75% radiation we need to add same amount of thickness in order to block the remaining radiation.

i.e. \frac{E}{2} fraction is blocked by 10 cm thickness

then remaining radiation is \frac{E}{2}

another 10 cm thickness will block the remaining half radiation i.e. \frac{1}{2}\times \frac{E}{2}=\frac{E}{4}

so total 75 % radiation will be blocked
