Kinetic energy is related to velocity by:
KE = (1/2)mv^2
solve for mass m
10 = (1/2)m(10)^2
10 = (1/2)m(100)
10= 50m
10/50 = m
1/5 = m
at 20 km/hr
KE = (1/2)(1/5)(20)^2
KE = (1/10)(400)
KE = 40 J
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 =
s =
s = 1.7 m
Cm^3 is same as mL
13.5 g / 5 mL = 2.7 g/mL
look up densities of metals
aluminum has a density of 2.7 g/mL
10 joules of work is done by the object
The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the
square of the distance between their centers. So the
force is greatest when the distance is zero.
