An asteroid with a mass of 5.0 x 105 kg collides with the Earth and slides horizontally along the ground without bouncing (not a

ctually possible but just pretend). The velocity of the asteroid before impact is 1.1 x 104 m/s and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the asteroid and the Earth is 1.80.
How much energy is lost due to friction between the asteroid and the Earth after the asteroid has come to rest?

The strength of the friction doesn't matter. Neither does the distance or the time the asteroid takes to stop. All that matters is that the asteroid has

1/2 (mass) (speed squared)

of kinetic energy when it lands, and zero when it stops.
So

1/2 (mass) (original speed squared)

is the energy it loses to friction in order to come to rest.

The net force experienced by an object is increased. What affect does this have on the acceleration of the object?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.

What happens to the work done when a force is doubled and the distance moved remain the same?​
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Work done gets doubled.

Explanation:

The work done by a force is given by :

W = Fd

Where

F is force and d is distance move

If the force is doubled and the distance moved remain the same, it would mean that the work done becomes double of the initial work done.

At t = 0 the components of a radio-controlled car's velocity are vx = 0.5 m/s and vy = 1.2 m/s. Find the components of the car's
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

x-component of velocity = 5.7 m/s

y-component of velocity = -1.4 m/s          

Explanation:

Use first equation of motion to find components of velocity at a given time:

v = u + at

where, v is  the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

Given:

u_x= 0.5 m/s\\u_y=1.2 m/s\\a_x=2 m/s^2\\a_y=-1m/s^2\\t = (2.6-0)s =2.6 s

v_x=u_x+a_xt\\\Rightarrow v_x=0.5+2\times 2.6\\\Rightarrow v_x=5.7 m/s

v_y=u_y+a_yt\\\Rightarrow v_y=1.2-1\times 2.6\\\Rightarrow v_y=-1.4 m/s
