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

Jennifer, who has a mass of 50.0 kg, is riding at 35.0 m/s in her red sports car when she must suddenly slam on the brakes to av
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Average force = 3.5 kN

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Jennifer (m) = 50 kg

Initial velocity = 35 m/s

Time taken to stop body = 0.5 s

Find:

Average force

Computation:

v = u + at

0 = 35 + a(0.5)

Acceleration (a) =  - 70 m/s² = 70 m/s²

Average force = ma

Average force = (50(70)

Average force = 3500 N

Average force = 3.5 kN

What type of energy results from the burning of wood or gasoline?
Sonja [21]

Answer:

Chemical energy

Explanation:

Chemical energy is energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal are examples of chemical energy. Chemical energy is converted to thermal energy when people burn wood in a fireplace or burn gasoline in a car's engine.

1. You get hit with a force of 45 N by a ball with a mass of 0.75 kg. How fast was the
dlinn [17]

Answer:

60 {ms}^{ - 2}

Explanation:

As we know,

=》Force = Mass × Acceleration

=》45 N = 0.75 × Acceleration

=》Acceleration = 45 ÷ 0.75

=》Acceleration = 60

hence, the Acceleration of the ball would be. 60 meters per second square

60m {s}^{ - 2}

A cycle track is 500 metres long. Amy completes 10 laps. She travelled at an average speed of 12.5 metres per second. She puts o
yanalaym [24]
The fast lap is irrelevant to the question, because it didn't happen
until after the 9 laps that you're interested in.

To be perfectly technical about it, we don't actually have enough
information to answer the question.  You told us her average speed
for 10 laps, but we don't know anything about how her speed may
have changed during the whole 10 laps.  For all we know, maybe
she took a nap first, and then got up and drove 10 laps at the speed
of 125 metres per second.  That would produce the average speed
of 12.5 metres per second and we would never know it  Why not ?
That's only 280 miles per hour.  Bikes can do that, can't they ?

IF we can assume that Amy maintained a totally steady pace through
the entire 10 laps, then we could say that her average for 9 laps was
also 12.5 metres per second.
