One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. there are several thousand objects orbiting earth that are large

enough to be detected by radar, but there are far greater numbers of very small objects, such as flakes of paint. calculate the force exerted in newtons by a 0.160 mg chip of paint that strikes a spacecraft window at a relative speed of 3.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10−8 s. (enter the magnitude.)

The chip, during the collision, has a change in momentum:
Δp = m · (v₂ - v₁)

The final speed is equal to zero, since it sticks to the spacecraft, therefore:
Δp = m · v
      = 1.6×10⁻⁷ · 3×10³
      = 4.8×10⁻⁴ kg·m/s
where we transformed the mass into the proper units of measurement (kg).

This change in momentum is equal to the impulse J:
Δp = J = F · t

We can solve for F
F = J / t = <span>Δp / t
   = </span>4.8×10⁻⁴ / 6×10⁻⁸
   = 8.0×10³ N

Hence, <span>the force exerted by the chip on the spacecraft is F = 8000N.</span>

vaieri [72.5K]

(a) 0.0021 s, 2926.5 rad/s

The frequency of the B note is

f= 466 Hz

The time taken to make one complete cycle is equal to the period of the wave, which is the reciprocal of the frequency:

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{466 Hz}=0.0021 s

The angular frequency instead is given by

\omega = 2\pi f

And substituting

f = 466 Hz

We find

\omega = 2\pi (466 Hz)=2926.5 rad/s

(b) 20 Hz, 125.6 rad/s

In this case, the period of the sound wave is

T = 50.0 ms = 0.050 s

So the frequency is equal to the reciprocal of the period:

f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{0.050 s}=20 Hz

While the angular frequency is given by:

\omega = 2\pi f = 2 \pi (20 Hz)=125.6 rad/s

(c) 4.30\cdot 10^{14} Hz, 7.48\cdot 1^{14} Hz, 2.33\cdot 10^{-15} s, 1.34\cdot 10^{-15}s

The minimum angular frequency of the light wave is

\omega_1 = 2.7\cdot 10^{15}rad/s

so the corresponding frequency is

f=\frac{\omega}{2 \pi}=\frac{2.7\cdot 10^{15}rad/s}{2\pi}=4.30\cdot 10^{14} Hz

and the period is the reciprocal of the frequency:

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{4.30\cdot 10^{14}Hz}=2.33\cdot 10^{-15}s

The maximum angular frequency of the light wave is

\omega_2 = 4.7\cdot 10^{15}rad/s

so the corresponding frequency is

f=\frac{\omega}{2 \pi}=\frac{4.7\cdot 10^{15}rad/s}{2\pi}=7.48\cdot 10^{14} Hz

and the period is the reciprocal of the frequency:

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{7.48\cdot 10^{14}Hz}=1.34\cdot 10^{-15}s

(d) 2.0\cdot 10^{-7}s, 3.14\cdot 10^{7} rad/s

In this case, the frequency is

f=5.0 MHz = 5.0 \cdot 10^6 Hz

So the period in this case is

T=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{5.0\cdot 10^6  Hz}=2.0 \cdot 10^{-7} s

While the angular frequency is given by

\omega = 2\pi f=2 \pi (5.0\cdot 10^{6}Hz)=3.14\cdot 10^{7} rad/s

How is a projectile different from an object in free fall
aksik [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Projectile Motion. Projectile motion is different than free fall: it involves two dimensions instead of one. ... Balls traveling in two dimensions, only one of which experiences acceleration, require two sets of equations: one set for the x-direction and the other for the y-direction.

A 100-kg astronaut is floating in outer space. If the astronaut throws a 2-kilogram wrench at a speed of 10 meters per second, w
sergey [27]

Since Astronaut and wrench system is isolated in the space and there is no external force on it

So here momentum of the system will remain conserved

so here we can say

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

initially both are at rest

so here plug in all values

0 = 100 v_{1f} + 2\times 10

v_{1f} = -0.20 m/s

so here the astronaut will move in opposite direction and its speed will be equal to 0.20 m/s
