On April 13, 2029 (Friday the 13th!), the asteroid 99942 mi Apophis will pass within 18600 mi of the earth-about 1/13 the distan

ce to the moon! It has a density of 2600 kg/m^3, can be modeled as a sphere 320 m in diameter, and will be traveling at 12.6 km/s.
1)If, due to a small disturbance in its orbit, the asteroid were to hit the earth, how much kinetic energy would it deliver?

2)The largest nuclear bomb ever tested by the United States was the "Castle/Bravo" bomb, having a yield of 15 megatons of TNT. (A megaton of TNT releases 4.184x10^15 J of energy.) How many Castle/Bravo bombs would be equivalent to the energy of Apophis?

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of asteroid = 4/3 x π x 160³

= 17.15 x 10⁶

mass = volume x density

= 17.15 x 10⁶ x 2600

= 445.9 x 10⁸ kg

kinetic energy

= 1/2 x 445.9 x 10⁸  x( 12.6 )² x 10⁶

= 35.4 x 10¹⁷ J .

2 )

energy of 15 megaton

= 4.184 x 10¹⁵ x 15 J

= 62.76 x 10¹⁵ J

No of bombs required

= 35.4 x 10¹⁷ / 62.76 x 10¹⁵

= 56.4 Bombs .

A chain 72 meters long whose mass is 29 kilograms is hanging over the edge of a tall building and does not touch the ground. How
dangina [55]

Answer:

Work done required is 3567.2 J

Explanation:

Given :

Length of chain, l = 72 m

Mass of chain, M = 29 kg

Linear mass density of chain, μ = \frac{Mass\ of\ chain }{Length\ of\ chain} = \frac{29}{72}  = 0.40 kg/m

Let x be the length of the chain which lift to the top of the building.

Work done required to lift the chain is equal to the potential energy of the chain.

W = ∫μg (72 - x ) dx

Here g is acceleration due to gravity.

The limit of integration is from 0 to 14.

W = μg ( 72x - x²/2)

Substitute 0.40 kg/m for μ, 9.8 m/s² for g and 14 m for x in the above equation.

W = 0.40\times9.8\times(72\times14\ - \frac{14^{2} }{2})

W = 3567.2 J

A space ship has four thrusters positioned on the top and bottom, and left and right as shown below. The thrusters can be operat
Ugo [173]

Answer:

The correct answer is - c.  Spaceship will have a velocity to the East and will be slowing down.

Explanation:

In this case, if turned on thruster #2 then it will exert force on the west side as thruster 2 is on the east side and it can be understood by Newton's third law that says each action has the same but opposite reaction.

As the spaceship engine applies force on the east side then according to the law the exhauster gas applies on towards west direction. It will try to decrease the velocity of the spaceship however, the direction of floating still be east side initally.

Potential energy is an object’s stored energy when it is not moving. Kinetic energy is an object’s energy in motion. You can’t be both moving and not moving at the same time, so PE and KE cannot be equal.

What factors determine the magnitude of the electric force between two particles ?
svp [43]
The electric force between the two particles are calculated through the equation,
 
                          F = kQ₁Q₂ / d²

where F is the force, k is a constant called Coulomb's law constant, Q₁ and Q₂ are the charges, and d is the distance. This equation is called the Coulomb's law. 

It can be seen from the equation above that the electric forces between the objects are majorly affected by the substance's charges and distance. 

The answer to this item is therefore letter A.
