Answer:
120 m/s
Explanation:
Given:
v₀ = 0 m/s
a = 12 m/s²
t = 10 s
Find: v
v = at + v₀
v = (12 m/s²) (10 s) + 0 m/s
v = 120 m/s
Answer:
Explanation:
We are given that
We have to find the exit temperature.
By steady energy flow equation
Substitute the values
Answer:
The total amount of energy that would have been released if the asteroid hit earth = The kinetic energy of the asteroid = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J = 1.29 PetaJoules = 1.29 PJ
1 PJ = 10¹⁵ J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy = mv²/2
velocity of the asteroid is given as 7.8 km/s = 7800 m/s
To obtain the mass, we get it from the specific gravity and diameter information given.
Density = specific gravity × 1000 = 3 × 1000 = 3000 kg/m³
But density = mass/volume
So, mass = density × volume.
Taking the informed assumption that the asteroid is a sphere,
Volume = 4πr³/3
Diameter = 30 m, r = D/2 = 15 m
Volume = 4π(15)³/3 = 14137.2 m³
Mass of the asteroid = density × volume = 3000 × 14137.2 = 42411501 kg = 4.24 × 10⁷ kg
Kinetic energy of the asteroid = mv²/2 = (4.24 × 10⁷)(7800²)/2 = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J
Answer:
<h2>E. 3.95kW</h2>
Explanation:
Power is defined as the rate of workdone.
Power = Workdone/time taken
Given Workdone = Force * distance
Power = Force * distance/time taken
Power = mgd/t (F = mg)
m = mass of the sand in kg
g = acceleration due to gravity in m/s²
d = vertical distance covered in metres
t = time taken in seconds
Given m = 2000kg, d = 12m, t = 1min = 60secs, g = 9.8m/s²
Power = 2000*9.8*12/60
Power = 3920Watts
Minimum rate of power that must be supplied to this machine is 3920Watts or 3.92kW
Copper is the best material
