One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand objects orbiting Earth that are large

enough to be detected by radar, but there are far greater numbers of very small objects, such as flakes of paint. Calculate the force exerted by a 0.100-mg chip of paint that strikes a spacecraft window at a relative speed of 4.00×103m/s, given the collision lasts 6.00×10–8s.

Answer:

6666.67 Newtons

Explanation:

The formula F=ma (force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration) can be used to calculate the answer to this question.

In this case:

  • mass= 0.1mg= 1*10^-7 kg
  • velocity= 4.00*10^3 m/s
  • time= 6.00*10^-8 s

Using velocity and time, acceleration can be calculated as:

  • a= 6.667*10^10 m/s²

Substituting these values into the formula F=ma, the answer is:

  • F= (1*10^-7)kg * (6.667*10^10) m/s²
  • F= 6666.67 Newtons of force

A boy walks a distance of 100 meters to the right at a steady speed of 1.00 m/s. Then he stops for 30 seconds. Then returns back
Mamont248 [21]

Explanation:

speed=\frac{Distance}{time}

In the figure attached:

A boy travels AB distance of 100 m, with speed of 1.00 m/s

AB = 100 m

1.00 m/s=\frac{100 m}{t_1}

t_1=100 s

After reaching at point B he stops there at for 30 seconds.

t_2= 30 s

After , 30 seconds he he comes back to his initial position that is A with steady speed of 1.00 m/s.

Distance covered from B to A= 100 m

Time taken by him during coming back=t_3

1.00=\frac{100 m}{t_3}

t_3=100 s

After returning to to point A he turns left and moves towards point C with speed of 1.5 m/s for 2 minutes.

Distance of AC = ?

t_4=2 min= 120 s

1.5 m/s=\frac{AC}{120 s}

AC = 180 m

The total time of his round trip is:T

T=t_1+t_2+t_3+t_4=100 s+30 s(stop)+ 100 s(returning)+120 s=350 s

The total distance: D

D = AB + BA (returning) + AC=100 m + 100 m + 180 m = 380 m[/tex]

The total displacement of boy:

Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial point and final point.

He first walked to point B from A and then came back to A . And after that walking to point C from A.So, the final displacement (d) is from A to C.

d = AC = 180 m

The total displacement of boy is 180 m.

The average speed of the boy is given by:

=\frac{AB+BA+AC}{t_1+t_2+t_3+t_4}=\frac{D}{T}

\frac{D}{T}=\frac{380 m}{350 s}=1.085 m/s

The average velocity of the boy is given by:

=\frac{AC}{t_1+t_2+t_3+t_4}=\frac{d}{T}

\frac{d}{T}=\frac{180 m}{350 s}=0.5142 m/s

A heavy rope, 50 ft long, weighs 0.5 lb/ft and hangs over the edge of a building 120 ft high. how much work is done (in ft-lb) i
GREYUIT [131]

The formula used in calculating for values of work is given as:

W = F d

However on the above formula, the force is constant but i this case, it is changing. Therefore we make use of the general form with the integral notation: <span>
</span>W = ∫F(x) dx

with limits of x from 0 to 25 since only half of the rope is be pulled

The equation for F (x) is equal to the product of mass density and length x:<span>
</span>F(x) = 0.5x <span>
Substituting this into the integral work equation:
</span>W = 0.5∫x dx

<span>W = 0.5(0.5) [x2^2 – x1^2]                  ---> x from 0 to 25</span>

W = 0.25 [25^2 -0]

<span>W = 156.25 ft * lbs </span>
