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

During the first stage of sleep deprivation, the subject may __________.
klio [65]
<h2>First stage of sleep Deprivation Subject </h2>

During the first stage of sleep deprivation, the subject is NREM which stands for non-rapid eye movement. In this condition, we are not sleeping in the depth. It can be said as dreamless sleep. On electro-encephalography recording, the brain waves are not fast so they have high voltage.

In this condition, the breathing, heart rate and blood pressure is low. The sleep is comparatively tranquil. NREM lasts for 90 minutes to 120 minutes. It accounts for about 75% of the normal sleep time. Rapid eye movements do not occur.

A uniform beam with mass M and length L is attached to the wall by a hinge, and supported by a cable. A mass of value 3M is susp
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

The tension is  T= \frac{11}{2\sqrt{3} } Mg

The horizontal force provided by hinge   Fx= \frac{11}{4\sqrt{3} } Mg

Explanation:

   From the question we are told that

          The mass of the beam  is   m_b =M

          The length of the beam is  l = L

           The hanging mass is  m_h = 3M

            The length of the hannging mass is l_h = \frac{3}{4} l

            The angle the cable makes with the wall is \theta = 60^o

The free body diagram of this setup is shown on the first uploaded image

The force F_x \ \ and \ \ F_y are the forces experienced by the beam due to the hinges

      Looking at the diagram we ca see that the moment of the force about the fixed end of the beam along both the x-axis and the y- axis is zero

     So

           \sum F =0

Now about the x-axis the moment is

              F_x -T cos \theta  = 0

     =>     F_x = Tcos \theta

Substituting values

            F_x =T cos (60)

                 F_x= \frac{T}{2} ---(1)

Now about the y-axis the moment is  

           F_y  + Tsin \theta  = M *g + 3M *g ----(2)

Now the torque on the system is zero because their is no rotation  

   So  the torque above point 0 is

          M* g * \frac{L}{2}  + 3M * g \frac{3L}{2} - T sin(60) * L = 0

            \frac{Mg}{2} + \frac{9 Mg}{4} -  T * \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}    = 0

               \frac{2Mg + 9Mg}{4} = T * \frac{\sqrt{3} }{2}

               T = \frac{11Mg}{4} * \frac{2}{\sqrt{3} }

                   T= \frac{11}{2\sqrt{3} } Mg

The horizontal force provided by the hinge is

             F_x= \frac{T}{2} ---(1)

Now substituting for T

              F_{x} = \frac{11}{2\sqrt{3} } * \frac{1}{2}

                  Fx= \frac{11}{4\sqrt{3} } Mg
