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
Answer:
0.625 c
Explanation:
Relative speed of a body may be defined as the speed of one body with respect to some other or the speed of one body in comparison to the speed of second body.
In the context,
The relative speed of body 2 with respect to body 1 can be expressed as :
Speed of rocket 1 with respect to rocket 2 :
Therefore, the speed of rocket 1 according to an observer on rocket 2 is 0.625 c
