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>

A 7.5-cmcm-diameter horizontal pipe gradually narrows to 4.5 cmcm . When water flows through this pipe at a certain rate, the ga
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer

given,

diameter,d₁ = 7.5 cm

               d₂ = 4.5 cm

P₁ = 32 kPa

P₂ = 25 kPa

Assuming, we have calculation of flow in the pipe

using continuity equation

 A₁ v₁ = A₂ v₂

 π r₁² v₁ = π r₂² v₂

 v_1= \dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2} v_2

 v_1= \dfrac{2.25^2}{3.75^2} v_2

 v_1= 0.36 v_2

Applying Bernoulli's equation

 \Delta P = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-v_1^2)

 P_1-P_2 = \dfrac{1}{2}\rho (v_2^2-(0.36 v_2)^2)

 32-25 = \dfrac{1}{2}1000\times v_2^2 (1 - 0.1269)

 v_2=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 7\times 10^3}{1000\times (0.8704)}}

 v_2=\sqrt{16.084}

       v₂ = 4.01 m/s

fluid flow rate

Q = A₂ V₂

Q = π (0.0225)²  x 4.01

Q = 6.38 x 10⁻³ m³/s

flow in the pipe is equal to 6.38 x 10⁻³ m³/s

A ball rolls forward in the grass slowing down as it rolls?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Yes it does, uh huh.  It slows down as it rolls.  That's a fact.

In order for the ball to roll forward, it has to push grass out of the way.  That takes energy.  To bend each blade of grass out of its way, the ball has to use a tiny bit of the kinetic energy that it has, so it gradually runs out of kinetic energy.  When its kinetic energy is all gone, it stops moving.

4. A 62.0-kg person, standing on the diving board, dives straight down into the water. Just before striking the water, her speed
Alekssandra [29.7K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Moment. The moment in terms of the Force and the time can be expressed as

\Delta P = F\Delta t

F = Force

\Delta t = Time

At the same time the moment can be expressed in terms of mass and velocity, mathematically it can be given as

P = m \Delta v

Where

m = Mass

\Delta v = Change in velocity

Our values are given as

\Delta t=1.65s

By equating the two equations we can find the Force,

F\Delta t = m\Delta v

F = \frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}

F = \frac{62(1.1-5.5)}{1.65}

Therefore, the net average force will be:

F = - 165N

The negative symbol indicates that the direction of the force is upwards.
