Scientists aboard the International Space Station are threatened by a 2.8 kg meteor hurtling toward them at 5.4 x 103 m/s. They

deploy an enormous rubber band to catch the meteor.
The rubber band stretches 193 m as it stops the meteor and saves the day. How much average force is applied to the meteor?

A) 3.8 x 104 N



B) 5.2 x 104 N



C) 1.3 x 105 N



D) 2.1 x 105 N



E) 4.7 x 106 N

Answer:

c) 1.3 X 10⁵ N

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> From equation of motion; V² = U² +2as

where, U  and V are initial and final velocity respectively,

a is the acceleration and s is the distance traveled

(5400)² = 0² +2*a*193

a = (5400)²/ (386)

a = 75544.04 m/s²

<u>Step 2:</u> calculate the maximum force applied to the meteor

F_{max} = m*a

F_{max} = 2.8*75544.04 = 211,523.312 N

<u>Step 3:</u> calculate the average force applied to the meteor

F_{avg} = \frac{1}{2}F_{max}

F_{avg} = \frac{1}{2}(211,523.312 N) = 105,761.7 N

F_{avg} = 1.1 X 10⁵ N

The nearest option is C

A fuse is an electrical safety device which should not blow, which should overheat and melts if current is too high. Its placed in the live wire before the switch. This prevents overheating and catching fire. A fuse have a specific current value for example - 3000 amps. So when choosing a suitable fuse you must use the above minimum value but less than maximum value. For example in a circuit there is 1000W flowing, you should choose more than 1000 amps fuse not less or else, it will melt.
