Answer:

v = -10⁵ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of asteroid,v' = 100 m/s

mass of superman = m

mass of asteroid,M = 1000 m

recoil velocity of superman,v= ?

using conservation of momentum.

m u + M u' = m v + M v'

initial velocity of asteroid and superman is equal to  zero

 0 + 0 = m v + 1000 m x 100

m v = -100000 m

    v = -10⁵ m/s

superman's velocity after throwing the asteroid is equal to v = -10⁵ m/s

A single roller-coaster car is moving with speed v0 on the first section of track when it descends a 4.7-m-deep valley, then cli
yan [13]

Explanation:

From the curve given in the attachment,

a) minimum speed v0 required if the car is to travel beyond the top of the hill

climb to the top = 5.4 m

Therefore, V_0=\sqrt{2gh}

V_0=\sqrt{2(9.81)(5.4)} =  10.29 m/s

b) No, we cannot affect this speed by changing the depth of the valley to make the coaster pick up more speed at the bottom as this speed does not depend upon depth of the valley.

A 20-kg object is subjected to three forces which produce an acceleration a = -8 m.s^-2 i + 6.0 m.s^-2 j on the object. Two of t
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

F₃ = -151 N i + 96 N j

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

∑F = m*a Formula (1)

∑F : algebraic sum of the forces in Newton (N)

m : mass s (kg)

a : acceleration  (m/s²)

Forces acting on the object

F₁= 3.0 N i + 16.0 N j

F₂ = -12.0 N i+ 8.0 N j

F₃ = F₃x N i +F₃ y N j

x component of the net force on the object

Fx=F₁x+F₂x+F₃ x

Fx = 3.0 N-12.0 N +F₃x

Fx = F₃x - 9 N

y component of the net force on the object

Fy=F₁y+F₂y+F₃ y

Fy =16.0 N+ 8.0 N +F₃y

Fy = F₃y + 24 N

Newton's second law to the object:

a = -8 m/s² i + 6.0 m/s² j

∑Fx = m*ax    m=20 kg , ax = -8 m/s²

F₃x - 9 = 20 *(-8)

F₃x = -160+9

F₃x = -151 N

∑Fy = m*ay    m=20 kg , ay = 6 m/s²

F₃y + 24 =20*( 6 )

F₃y =120 - 24

F₃y = 96 N

F₃ = -151 N i + 96 N j

Copper has a specific heat of 387 J/kg°C. A copper bullet is moving at 950 m/s. If the bullet is suddenly stopped so that all of
Alla [95]

Answer:

1196.02 °C

Explanation:

If the kinetic energy is converted into heat,

then,

Kinetic energy of the copper = heat energy of the copper

1/2m(v²) = cm(t₂-t₁)

where m = mass of copper, v =  velocity of copper, c = specific heat capacity of copper, t₂ = final temperature of copper, t₁ = initial temperature of copper.

Since the mass of copper remains the same,

1/2v² = c(t₂-t₁)

make t₂ the subject of the equation

t₂ = 1/2(v²/c)+t₁..................... Equation 1

Given: v = 950 m/s, c = 387 J/kg°C, t₁ 30 °C

Substitute into equation 1

t₂ = 1/2(950²/387)+30

t₂ = 1196.02 °C

Hence the temperature the bullet reach before it was stopped = 1196.02 °C
