Answer:
s = 1.7 m
Explanation:
from the question we are given the following:
Mass of package (m) = 5 kg
mass of the asteriod (M) = 7.6 x 10^{20} kg
radius = 8 x 10^5 m
velocity of package (v) = 170 m/s
spring constant (k) = 2.8 N/m
compression (s) = ?
Assuming that no non conservative force is acting on the system here, the initial and final energies of the system will be the same. Therefore
• Ei = Ef
• Ei = energy in the spring + gravitational potential energy of the system
• Ei = \frac{1}{2}ks^{2} + \frac{GMm}{r}
• Ef = kinetic energy of the object
• Ef = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}
• \frac{1}{2}ks^{2} + (-\frac{GMm}{r}) = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}
• s =

Answer:
0.36 kg-m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a ball, m = 0.06 kg
Initial velocity of the ball, u = 20 m/s
Final velocity of the ball, v = 26 m/s
We need to find the change in momentum of the tennis ball. It is equal to the final momentum minus initial momentum
So, the change in momentum of the ball is 0.36 kg-m/s.
