Answer:

(E) a greatly increased number of small particles in Earth’s orbit would result in a blanket of reflections that would make certain valuable telescope observations impossible

Explanation:

The trade is one strong reflection for many weak reflections (and more dangerous near-Earth space travel).

None of the answer choices except the last one has anything to do with the effect of exploding a satellite. When you are arguing that exploding a satellite is ill conceived, you need to address specifically the effects of exploding the satellite.

Two objects, M = 15.3 ks and m = 8.29 kg are connected with an ideal string and suspended by a pulley (which rotates with no fri

Scilla [17]

Answer:

(a) 7 m/s

(b) 931 rad/s

Explanation:

Gravity would be exerting on the 2 masses

$G_1 = Mg = 15.3*9.81 = 150.093N$

$G_2 = mg = 8.29*9.81= 81.32N$

Since heavier, mass 1 (M) would be the one pulling down, while mass 2 is being pulled up.

So the net force on mass 1 is

$F = G_1 - G_2 = 68.77N$

This force would generate torque on the solid pulley

$T = FR = 68.77 * 0.0075 = 0.5158 Nm$

We can also calculate the pulley moments of inertia, with it being solid

$I = 0.5MpR^2 = 0.5*14.1*0.0075^2 = 0.000396563kgm^2$

From there we can calculate the angular acceleration of the pulley, which generates the entire system motion

$\alpha = \frac{T}{I} = \frac{0.5158}{0.000396563} = 1300.58 rad/s^2$

Since the system is moved by a distance of d = 2.5m, the pulley would have turn an angle of

$\theta = \frac{d}{R} = \frac{2.5}{0.0075} = 333 rad$

(c)The time it takes to get to this distance is

$\theta = \frac{\alpha t^2}{2}$

$t^2 = \frac{2\theta}{\alpha} = \frac{2*333}{1300.58} =0.513$

$t = \sqrt{0.513} = 0.716s$

(b)The final angular speed of the disk is

$\omega = \alpha t = 1300.58*0.716 = 931 rad/s$

(a) And so the perimeter speed of the pulley, which is also speed of mass 1 when it comes to d = 2.5 m is

$v = \omega R = 931*0.0075 \approx 7m/s$

A 1200-kg SUV is moving alone a straight highway at 12.0 m/s. Another car, with mass 1800 kg and speed 20.0 m/s, has its center

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

A) d = 24 m

B) 50400 kg.m/s

C) v₀ = 16.8 m/s

D) 50400 kg.m/s. It's equal to the momentum found in part B.

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of station wagon;m1 = 1200 kg Velocity; V = 12 m/s

Mass of car; m2 = 1800 kg

Velocity of car; v2 = 20 m/s

a ) Let centre of mass of car and station wagon be at a distance d from wagon

Thus,

If we take moment of weight about it, we have;

1200 x d = 1800 x ( 40 - d )

Where, d is the position of the center of mass of the system consisting of the two cars

Thus,

1200d = 72000 - 1800d

1200d + 1800d = 72000

3000 d = 72,000

d = 72,000/3000

d = 24 m

b ) Total momentum= m1•v1 + m2•v2

= (1200 x 12) + (1800 x 20)

= 14400 + 36000

= 50400 kg.m/s

c ) Let speed of centre of mass be v₀

Thus,

v₀ = (m1•v1 + m2•v2)/(m1 + m2)

v₀ = 50400/(1200 + 1800)

v₀ = 50400/3000

v₀ = 16.8 m/s

d) System Total momentum = velocity of centre mass x total mass

Thus,

Total momentum = v₀(m1 + m2)

= 16.8(3000) = 50400 kg.m/s .

This value is equal to what was calculated in part b
