A) 100 kg
B) 6,250 kg
C) 10,000 kg
D) 6,250,000 kg

Before the launch, the momentum of the (spacecraft + asteroid) was zero.  So after the launch, the momentum of the (spacecraft + asteroid) has to be zero.

Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)

Momentum after the launch:

Spacecraft:  (1,000 kg) x (250 m/s) = 250,000 kg-m/s

Asteroid: (mass) x (-25 m/s)

Their sum:  250,000 - 25(mass) .

Their sum must be zero, so  250,000 kg-m/s = (25 m/s) x (mass)

Divide each side by  25 :  10,000 kg-m/s = (1 m/s) x (mass)

Divide each side by (1 m/s) :  10,000 kg = mass

A 5kg block is pulled across a table by a horizontal force of 40 N with a frictional force of 8 N opposing the motion. Draw a fo
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Net force on the block is 32 N.

Acceleration of the object is 6.4 m/s².

Explanation:

Let the acceleration of the object be a m/s².

Given:

Mass of the block is, m=5\ kg

Force of pull is, F=40\ N

Frictional force on the block is, f=8\ N

The free body diagram of the object is shown below.

From the figure, the net force in the forward direction is given as:

F_{net}=F-f=40-8=32\ N

Now, from Newton's second law of motion, net force is equal to the product of mass and acceleration. So,

F_{net}=ma\\32=5a\\a=\frac{32}{5}=6.4\ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the object in the forward direction is 6.4 m/s².

A 6.0 kg mass is placed on a 20º incline which has a coefficient of friction of 0.15. What is the acceleration of the mass down
Leona [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

The form of Newton's 2nd Law that we use for this is:

F - f = ma where F is the Force pulling the mass down the ramp forward, f is the friction trying to keep it from moving forward, m is the mass and a is the acceleration (and our unknown).

We know mass and we can find f, but we don't have F. But we can solve for that by rewriting our main equation to reflect F:

wsin\theta-\mu F_n=ma That's everything we need.

w is weight: 6.0(9.8). Filling in:

6.0(9.8)sin20 - .15(6.0)(9.8) = 6.0a and

2.0 × 10¹ - 8.8 = 6.0a and

11 = 6.0a so

a = 1.8 m/s/s
