Answer:
The total amount of energy that would have been released if the asteroid hit earth = The kinetic energy of the asteroid = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J = 1.29 PetaJoules = 1.29 PJ
1 PJ = 10¹⁵ J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy = mv²/2
velocity of the asteroid is given as 7.8 km/s = 7800 m/s
To obtain the mass, we get it from the specific gravity and diameter information given.
Density = specific gravity × 1000 = 3 × 1000 = 3000 kg/m³
But density = mass/volume
So, mass = density × volume.
Taking the informed assumption that the asteroid is a sphere,
Volume = 4πr³/3
Diameter = 30 m, r = D/2 = 15 m
Volume = 4π(15)³/3 = 14137.2 m³
Mass of the asteroid = density × volume = 3000 × 14137.2 = 42411501 kg = 4.24 × 10⁷ kg
Kinetic energy of the asteroid = mv²/2 = (4.24 × 10⁷)(7800²)/2 = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J
Answer:
kinematics is a subfield of physics developed in classical mechanics that describes the motion of point , bodies (objects) , and systems of bodies (group of objects ) without considering the forces that cause them to move
The solution you should use is Hooke's law: F=-kx
It should have the same signs because they repel due to the stretch of the spring.
a. Since there is a constant energy within the spring, then Hooke's law will determine the possible algebraic signs. The solution should be
<span>F = kx
270 N/m x 0.38 m = 102.6 N
</span>
b. Then use Coulomb's law; F=kq1q2/r^2 to find the charges produced in the force.
Think about it like this, the more mass there is, the faster its going to go. If you took a golf ball and a ping pong ball and you held them each separately, you would notice that the golf ball is heavier. If they move with the same kinetic energy, but the golf ball WEIGHS more, then the golf ball will have the greater speed. If you think about it, the ping pong ball may be taking its time to get to wherever its going.
