A package of mass 9 kg sits at the equator of an airless asteroid of mass 4.0 1020 kg and radius 5.7 105 m. we want to launch th

e package in such a way that it will never come back, and when it is very far from the asteroid it will be traveling with speed 168 m/s. we have a large and powerful spring whose stiffness is 2.1 105 n/m. how much must we compress the spring?

Grav. Potential at surface of the asteroid:

V = - G.Ma./ R 
V = (-) 6.67^-11 x 4.0^20kg / 5.7^5m .. .. V = (-) 4.681 *10 ^5 J/kg 

The GPE of the package on the asteroid = 9.0kg x (-) 4.681*10^5J/kg = (-) 4.21 ^5 J

This is the amount of energy required to come back the package to infinity.

The total energy that needs to be transported to the package:

GPE + KE(for 187m/s) 
Total energy required E = 4.21*10^5 + (½x 9.0kg x 168²) = 5.48 * 10^5 J 



When the required energy is to be complete by releasing a compressed spring,
Elastic PE stored in spring = ½.ke² = 5.48 * 10^5 J where e = compression distance

e = √ (2 x 5.48*10^5 / 2.1*10^5)

e = 2.28 m

What other factor affected the gravitational force between the two objects in this simulation?
neonofarm [45]

Answer:

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. If one of the masses is doubled, the force of gravity between the objects is doubled. increases, the force of gravity decreases

<u>ALL of the following work assumes NO AIR RESISTANCE:</u>

1). an object moving under the influence of only gravity, and not in orbit;  its horizontal velocity is constant, and its vertical motion is accelerated downward at 9.8 m/s²

2). a parabola

3). Horizontal: velocity is constant, acceleration is zero. . . . Vertical: acceleration is 9.8 m/s² downward, velocity depends on whether it was launched, thrown up, thrown down, dropped, etc.

4). a). the one that was thrown horizontally; b). both  hit the ground at the same time; c). both hit the ground with the same vertical velocity

5). a). zero; b). zero; c). gravity ... 9.8 m/s² down; d). 3.06 seconds; e). 4.38 m/s; f). 30 m/s g). no; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

6). a). 1.8 seconds;   b). 13.1 meters;   c). 17.6 m/s down;   d). 7.3 m/s; gravity has no effect on horizontal motion

7). 45 m/s

8). without air resistance, the ball is traveling horizontally at 13 km/hr, and it lands back in your hand

9). a). 4.49 m/s;  b). 29.7 m/s

10). 7.24 meters

11).  700 meters

12).  A). 103.7 meters ( ! she's in big trouble ! );     B).  17.5 meters

A basketball rolls without slipping (starting from rest) down a ramp. If the ramp is sloped by an angle of 4 degrees above the h
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

11.7 m/s

Explanation:

To find its speed, we first find the acceleration of the center of mass of a rolling object is given by

a = gsinθ/(1 + I/MR²) where θ = angle of slope = 4, I = moment of inertia of basketball = 2/3MR²

a = 9.8 m/s²sin4(1 + 2/3MR²/MR²)

  = 9.8 m/s²sin4(1 + 2/3)

  = 9.8 m/s²sin4 × (5/3)

  = 1.14 m/s²

To find its speed v after rolling for 60 m, we use

v² = u² + 2as where u = initial speed = 0 (since it starts from rest), s = 60 m

v = √(u² + 2as) = √(0² + 2 × 1.14 m/s × 60 m) = √136.8 = 11.7 m/s
