As we know that as per Newton's II law we have
here we will have
= change in momentum
= time interval in which momentum is changed
now in order to have least injury during jumping we need to have least force on the jumper
so in order to have least force we can say that the momentum must have to change in maximum time so that amount of force must be least
So we need to increase the time in which momentum of the system is changed
Solution :
Given
Diameter of the roulette ball = 30 cm
The speed ball spun at the beginning = 150 rpm
The speed of the ball during a period of 5 seconds = 60 rpm
Therefore, change of speed in 5 seconds = 150 - 60
= 90 rpm
Therefore,
90 revolutions in 1 minute
or In 1 minute the ball revolves 90 times
i.e. 1 min = 90 rev
60 sec = 90 rev
1 sec = 90/ 60 rec
5 sec =
= 75 rev
Therefore, the ball made 75 revolutions during the 5 seconds.
A) 0.189 N
The weight of the person on the asteroid is equal to the gravitational force exerted by the asteroid on the person, at a location on the surface of the asteroid:
where
G is the gravitational constant
8.7×10^13 kg is the mass of the asteroid
m = 130 kg is the mass of the man
R = 2.0 km = 2000 m is the radius of the asteroid
Substituting into the equation, we find
B) 2.41 m/s
In order to orbit just above the surface of the asteroid (r=R), the centripetal force that keeps the astronaut in orbit must be equal to the gravitational force acting on the astronaut:
where
v is the speed of the astronaut
Solving the formula for v, we find the minimum speed at which the astronaut should launch himself and then orbit the asteroid just above the surface:
