. Calculate the kinetic energy of a 100.0-kg meteor approaching the Earth at a speed of 10.0 km/s. Remember that 1 km = 1000 m.
anastassius [24]
Ke = (1/2)mv²

m = 100kg, v = 10 km/s = 10*1000 = 10000m/s

Ke = (1/2)*100*10000 

Ke = 500000 Joules

An astronaut on Earth notes that in her soft drink an ice cube floats with 9/10 of its volume submerged. If she were instead in
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

B) with 9/10 submerged

Explanation:

m = mass of ice cube

\rho = density of soft drink

V = Volume of soft drink displaced

ice cube floats in the soft drink when the force of buoyancy on it balances its weight. Force of buoyancy acting on the cube in upward direction is same as the weight of the soft drink displaced. hence we can write

weight of ice cube = weight of soft drink displaced

mg = \rho V g

m = \rho V

we see that the acceleration due to gravity cancel out both side and hence it does affect as astronaut is on earth on in a lunar module.

E<br> 3.6 What force is needed to give a mass of<br> 20 kg an acceleration of 5 m/s??
luda_lava [24]

Explanation:

  • Mass(m)= 20kg
  • Acceleration (a)= 5m/s²
  • Force(F)= ?

We know that,

  • F=ma
  • F=20×5
  • F=100N

Hence, the needed force is 100N.
