Answer:
a) a = 3.06 10¹⁵ m / s , b) F= 1.43 10⁻¹⁰ N, c) F_total = 14.32 10⁻²⁶ N
Explanation:
This exercise will average solve using the moment relationship.
a ) let's use the relationship between momentum and momentum
I = ∫ F dt = Δp
F t = m - m v₀
F = m (v_{f} -v₀o) / t
in the exercise indicates that the speed module is the same, but in the opposite direction
F = m (-2v) / t
if we use Newton's second law
F = m a
we substitute
- 2 mv / t = m a
a = - 2 v / t
let's calculate
a = - 2 4.59 10²/3 10⁻¹³
a = 3.06 10¹⁵ m / s
b) F= m a
F= 4.68 10⁻²⁶ 3.06 10¹⁵
F= 1.43 10⁻¹⁰ N
c) if we hit the wall for 1015 each exerts a force F
F_total = n F
F_total = n m a
F_total = 10¹⁵ 4.68 10⁻²⁶ 3.06 10¹⁵
F_total = 14.32 10⁻²⁶ N
