In July 2005, NASA's "Deep Impact" mission crashed a 372-kg probe directly onto the surface of the comet Tempel 1, hitting the s

urface at 37000 km/h relative to the surface. The original speed of the comet at that time was about 40000 km/h, and its mass was estimated to be in the range (0.10−2.5)×1014kg. Use the smallest value of the estimated mass.

Question:

(a) What change in the comet’s velocity did this collision produce? Would this change be noticeable? (b) Suppose this comet were to hit the earth and fuse with it. By how much would it change our planet’s velocity? Would this change be noticeable? (The mass of the earth is 5.97×1024kg.)

Answer:

The answers to the question are;

(a) The change in the comet’s velocity produced by the collision is 2.86 × 10⁻⁶km/h or 7.944 × 10⁻⁷ m/s

(b) It would change our planet’s velocity by  6.70× 10⁻⁸ km/h or 1.86× 10⁻⁸ m/s

Change is too small to be noticeable

Explanation:

We not that the question is about conservation of liner momentum

Therefore we have, by listing out the known parameters

m₁ = Mass of "Deep Impact" = 372 kg

m₂ = Mass of Tempel 1 comet  = (0.1 to 2.5) × 10¹⁴ kg,

v₁ = Vaelocity of "Deep Impact" = 37000 km/h

v₂ = Velocity of Tempel 1 comet = 40000 km/h

From the principle of linear momentum, we have, for both bodies moving in opposite direction;

m₁×v₁ + m₂×v₂ = m₁×v₃ + m₂×v₃ since it was a crash, it is assumed that they both have the same final velocity

This gives

372 kg ×37000 km/h  - 0.1 × 10¹⁴ kg × 40000 km/h = (372 kg + 0.1 × 10¹⁴ kg )×v₃

13764000 kg·km/h - 4.0 × 10¹⁷  kg·km/h = 10000000000372×v₃

v₃ = (-399999999986236000 kg·km/h)/10000000000372 = -39999.999997 km/h ≈ - 40000  km/h in the direction of Deep Impact

Change in comet velocity

= 40000  km/h - 39999.999997 km/h

= 2.86 × 10⁻⁶km/h = 7.944 × 10⁻⁷ m/s

(b) If the colission is with earth, we have

m₃ = Mass of earth

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum, we have

m₂v₂+m₃ v₃ = (m₂ + m₃) v₄

v₃ = Initial velocity of Earth = 0 km/h

m₃ = Mass of Earth = 5.97 × 10²⁴ kg

Therefore, pluggin in the vaalues gives

0.1 × 10¹⁴ kg × 40000 km/h + 5.97 × 10²⁴ kg × 0 km/h = (0.1 × 10¹⁴ kg + 5.97 × 10²⁴ kg) × v₄

Therefore,

v₄ = (4.0 × 10¹⁷  kg·km/h + 0 kg·km/h)/ (5970000000010000000000000 kg)

= 6.70× 10⁻⁸ km/h = 1.86× 10⁻⁸ m/s

Change is too small

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

v₀ = 13.9 10³ m / s

Explanation:

Let's analyze this exercise we can use the basic kinematics relationships to love the initial velocity and the acceleration we can look for from Newton's second law where force is gravitational attraction.

    F = m a

    G m M / x² = m dv / dt = m dv/dx  dx/dt

    G M / x² = dv/dx   v

    GM dx / x² = v dv

We integrate

    v² / 2 = GM (-1 / x)

We evaluate between the lower limits where x = Re = 6.37 10⁶m  and the velocity v = vo and the upper limit x = 2.50 10⁸m  with a velocity of v = 8.50 10³ m/s

    ½ ((8.5 10³)² - v₀²) = GM (-1 /(2.50 10⁸) + 1 / (6.37 10⁶))

    72.25 10⁶ - v₀² = 2 G M (+0.4 10⁻⁸ - 1.57 10⁻⁷)

    72.25 10⁶ - v₀² = 2 6.63 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ (-15.3  10⁻⁸)

    72.25 10⁶ - v₀² = -1.213  10⁸

    v₀² = 72.25 10⁶ + 1,213 10⁸

    v₀² = 193.6 10⁶

    v₀ = 13.9 10³ m / s

The wheels of an automobile are locked as it slides to a stop from an initial speed of 30.0 m/s. If the coefficient of kinetic f
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

  x = 76.5 m

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law at the point of contact between the wheel and the floor.

     fr = m a

     fr = miy N

     N-W = 0

     N = W

     μ mg = m a

     a = miu g

    a = 0.600 9.8

    a = 5.88 m / s²

Having the acceleration we can use the kinematic relationships to find the distance

     v_{f}² = v₀² + 2 a x

    v_{f} = 0

    x = -v₀² / 2 a

Acceleration opposes the movement by which negative

   x = - 30²/2 (-5.88)

   x = 76.5 m

juin [17]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The velocity is   v =0.333 \  m/s in positive x -direction

The speed is s = 0.733 \ m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The distance from the house to truck is  D =  20 m

  The distance traveled back to retrieve  wind-blown hat is  d =  15

  The distance from the wind-blown hat position too the truck is  k =  20  m

  The total time taken is  t  =  75 s

Generally when calculating the displacement the Justin's backward movement to collect his wind - blown hat is taken as negative

Generally Justin's displacement is mathematically represented as

      L  =  20 - 15 + 20

=>    L  =  25 \ m

Generally the average velocity is mathematically represented as

          v  =  \frac{L}{t}

=>      v = \frac{25}{75}

=>      v =0.333 \  m/s

Generally the distance covered by Justin is mathematically represented as  

         R =  D+ d + k

=>      R =  20 + 15 +20

=>     R =  55 \  m

Generally Justin's average speed over a 75 s period is mathematically represented as

            s = \frac{R}{ t}

=>         s = \frac{55}{ 75}

=>        s = 0.733 \ m/s
