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

Radiation: Getting sunburnt on a beach.
- The sun’s radiation (no direct contact) is what causes the skin to burn.
Radiation: Microwave cooking food
- Microwaves use radiation to heat the food inside of it; between radio waves and infrared radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum
Conduction: Touching a hot car seat in the summer
- Conduction is the transfer of heat by direct contact (hand to seat).
Conduction: Burning yourself with a curling iron (Similar to above; direct contact).

Convection: An ocean breeze
- Convection near coastlines cause the transfer of energy; water warms and cools slower than land.
Conduction: Sliding down a hot metal slide in august
- You are in direct contact with the slide, which is hot due to the temperature.
Convection: Water in a boiling pot of macaroni
- The water, a liquid, is being heated by molecular motion.
Convection: Currents deep within the earth that cause tectonic plates to move
- Convection currents drive the movement of tectonic plates in the mantle, which is fluid/molten. The currents circulate under the asthenosphere.
