A meteoroid, heading straight for Earth, has a speed of 14.8 km/s relative to the center of Earth as it crosses our moon's orbit

, a distance of 3.84 × 108 m from the earth's center. What is the meteroid’s speed as it hits the earth? You can neglect the effects of the moon, Earth’s atmosphere, and any motion of the earth. (G = 6.67 × 10 -11 N ∙ m2/kg2, Mearth = 5.97 × 1024 kg)

Answer:

v = 112.424 km / s

Explanation:

Given:

d = 3.84 x 10 ⁸ m  , R = 63 x 10³ m  , m earth = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg  ,  G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N * m² / kg² , v₁ = 14.8 x 10 ³ m / s

Using the equation

KE + PE = initial KE + PE

¹/₂ * m * v₂² - G * m/ R = ¹/₂ * m * v₁² - G * m/(R+d)

v₂² = v₁² + 2*G * m [ 1/R - 1/(R+d) ]

v₂² = 14.8 x 10 ³ m /s + 2 * 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N * m² / kg² * 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg  [ 1 / 63 x 10³m - 1 / ( 63 x  10³ + 3.84 x 10⁸ m ) ]

v = √ 1.26 x 10¹⁰ m² / s²

v =  112.424 x 10³ m/s  

v = 112.424 km / s

A 0.0780 kg lemming runs off a 5.36 m high cliff at 4.84 m/s. what is its potential energy (PE) when it is 2.00 m above the grou
Colt1911 [192]

The potential energy of the lemming is 1.53 J

Explanation:

The potential energy (PE) of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the Earth's gravitational field, and it is given by:

PE=mgh

where:

m is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

In this problem:

m = 0.0780 kg is the mass of the lemming

We want to find the potential energy when the height is

h = 2.00 m

Therefore, we find:

PE=(0.0780)(9.8)(2.00)=1.53 J

Does the lattice energy of an ionic solid increase or decrease as the charges or sizes of the ions increase?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

Explanation:

Lattice energy is the energy required to separate one mole of an ionic solid compound into its components gaseous cations and anions.

Due to increase in size of the ions, the lattice energy decreases while the lattice energy increases as the charge of the ions increases.

When the size increase, the distance between the nuclei also increase leading a decrease the force of attraction between the nuclei

A projectile is fired from the origin (at y = 0 m) as shown in the diagram. The initial velocity
Viktor [21]

Answer:

-26 m/s.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the vertical initial velocity is 26 m/s and the vertical final velocity is 0 m/s at P, we compute the time to reach P:

t=\frac{0m/s-26m/s}{-9.8m/s^2} =2.65s

With which we compute the maximum height:

y=26m/s*2.65s-\frac{1}{2}*9.8m/s^2*(2.65s)^2 \\\\y=34.5m

Therefore, the final velocity until the floor, assuming P as the starting point (Voy=0m/s), turns out:

v_f=\sqrt{0m/s-(-9.8m/s^2)*2*34.5m}\\ \\v_f=-26m/s

Which is clearly negative since it the projectile is moving downwards the starting point.

Regards.
