Answer:


Explanation:
(a)
Given:
- mass of comet,

- velocity of the comet,

<u>Now, the kinetic energy of the comet can be given by:</u>



(b)
Given:
- energy released by 1 megaton of TNT,

<u>Now the kinetic energy of the comet in terms of energy of 1 megaton TNT:</u>

i.e.

Answer:
Answer:u=66.67 m/s
Explanation:
Given
mass of meteor m=2.5 gm\approx 2.5\times 10^{-3} kg
velocity of meteor v=40km/s \approx 40000 m/s
Kinetic Energy of Meteor
K.E.=\frac{mv^2}{2}
K.E.=\frac{2.5\times 10^{-3}\times (4000)^2}{2}
K.E.=2\times 10^6 J
Kinetic Energy of Car
=\frac{1}{2}\times Mu^2
=\frac{1}{2}\times 900\times u^2
\frac{1}{2}\times 900\times u^2=2\times 10^6
900\times u^2=4\times 10^6
u^2=\frac{4}{9}\times 10^4
u=\frac{2}{3}\times 10^2
u=66.67 m/s
Answer:
Graph C
Explanation:
With the same force and more mass, the position in time will still be parabolic
i.e. x = ½at², but the rate of acceleration will be lower so the position curve will be broader.
