A distant large asteroid is detected that might pose a threat to Earth. If it were to continue moving in a straight line at cons

Vlada [557]

Answer:

The minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.

Explanation:

To escape earth, the kinetic energy of the asteroid must be greater or equal to its gravitational potential energy:

$K.E\geq P.E$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 \geq G\dfrac{Mm}{R}$

where $m$ is the mass of the asteroid, $R= 24,000,000\:m$ is its distance form earth's center, $M = 5.9*10^{24}kg$ is the mass of the earth, and $G = 6.7*10^{-11}m^3/kg\: s^2$ is the gravitational constant.

Solving for $v$ we get:

$v \geq \sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R} }$

putting in numerical values gives

$v \geq \sqrt{\dfrac{2(6.7*10^{-11})(5.9*10^{24})}{(24,000,000)} }$

$\boxed{v\geq 5739.5m/s}$

in kilometers this is

$v\geq5.7395m/s.$

Hence, the minimum speed required is 5.7395km/s.

tatuchka [14]

An alluvial fan is a wide, sloping deposit of sediment formed where a stream leaves a mountain range. Make sure not to confuse it with a delta. A delta is a landform made of sediment that is deposited where a river flows into an ocean or lake. Hope this helped!

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 11.1 Equilibrium of a Rigid Body. A horizontal uniform bar of mass 2.7 kg and length 3.0 m

Zanzabum

Answer:

$T_{1}$ = 14.88 N

Explanation:

Let's begin by listing out the given variables:

M = 2.7 kg, L = 3 m, m = 1.35 kg, d = 0.6 m,

g = 9.8 m/s²

At equilibrium, the sum of all external torque acting on an object equals zero

τ(net) = 0

Taking moment about $T_{1}$ we have:

(M + m) g * 0.5L - $T_{2}$ (L - d) = 0

⇒ $T_{2}$ = [(M + m) g * 0.5L] ÷ (L - d)

$T_{2}$ = [(2.7 + 1.35) * 9.8 * 0.5(3)] ÷ (3 - 0.6)

$T_{2}$ = 59.535 ÷ 2.4

$T_{2}$ = 24.80625 N ≈ 24.81 N

Weight of bar(W) = M * g = 2.7 * 9.8 = 26.46 N

Weight of monkey(w) = m * g = 1.35 * 9.8 = 13.23 N

Using sum of equilibrium in the vertical direction, we have:

$T_{1}$ + $T_{2}$ = W + w ------- Eqn 1

Substituting T2, W & w into the Eqn 1

$T_{1}$ + 24.81 = 26.46 + 13.23

$T_{1}$ = 14.88 N
