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

The early workers in spectroscopy (Fraunhofer with the solar spectrum, Bunsen and Kirchhoff with laboratory spectra) discovered
Anestetic [448]

The hot gases produce their own characteristic pattern of spectral lines, which remain fixed as the temperature increases moderately.

<h3><u>Explanation: </u></h3>

A continuous light spectrum emitted by excited atoms of a hot gas with dark spaces in between due to scattered light of specific wavelengths is termed as an atomic spectrum. A hot gas has excited electrons and produces an emission spectrum; the scattered light forming dark bands are called spectral lines.

Fraunhofer closely observed sunlight by expanding the spectrum and a huge number of dark spectral lines were seen.  "Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff" discovered that when certain chemicals were burnt using a Bunsen burner, atomic spectra with spectral lines were seen. Atomic spectral pattern is thus a unique characteristic of any gas and can be used to independently identify presence of elements.

The spectrum change does not depend greatly on increasing temperatures and hence no significant change is observed in the emitted spectrum with moderate increase in temperature.

Lady_Fox [76]
     Your answer would be true. Because if we didn't have those pieces of evidence, we wouldn't know about a lot of the ancient civilizations that we know today without that. Small pieces of evidence like that can help us to determine how they lived, or what they used to do, or even what they ate.

Please help! Calculate velocity. Show all work!
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

v = 23.66 m/s

Explanation:

recall that one of the equations of motion may be expressed:

v² = u² + 2as,

Where

v = final velocity (we are asked to find this)

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s since we are told that it starts from rest

a = acceleration = 0.56m/s²

s = distance traveled = given as 500m

Simply substitute the known values into the equation:

v² = u² + 2as

v² = 0 + 2(0.56)(500)

v² = 560

v = √560

v = 23.66 m/s
