Answer:

The approximate velocity the rocket must have to stop the asteroid completely after the collision is;

C. -324 m/s

Explanation:

The parameters of the asteroid and the rocket are;

The mass of the asteroid, m₁ = 11,000 kg

The initial velocity with which the asteroid is approaching Earth, v₁ = 50 m/s

The mass of the rocket, m₂ = 1700 kg

The initial velocity of the rocket = v₂

The final velocity of the combined asteroid and rocket after the collision, v₃ = 0 m/s

By the law of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

The total initial momentum = The total final momentum

m₁·v₁ + m₂·v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)·v₃

Substituting the known values, we get;

11,000 kg × 50 m/s + 1,700 kg × v₂ = (11,000 kg + 1,700 kg) × 0 m/s

11,000 kg × 50 m/s + 1,700 kg × v₂ = 0

∴ 1,700 kg × v₂ = -11,000 kg × 50 m/s

v₂ = (-11,000 kg × 50 m/s)/(1,700 kg) = -323.529412 m/s ≈ -324 m/s

The approximate initial velocity the jet must have to completely stop the asteroid after the collision is -324 m/s.

At higher speeds, how would you compensate for the decrease in field of vision
inysia [295]
When you ride a vehicle in a fast speed, then your peripheral vision will reduce that is why there is a need for you to follow the direction of the objects when you are travelling in order for you to compensate to the decrease in the field of vision.

You rub a clear plastic pen with wool, and observe that a strip of invisible tape is attacted to the pen. Assuming that the pen
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

option B

Explanation:

When you rub a clear plastic pen with the wool the plastic pen gets charges this phenomenon is known as frictional charging.

Due to rubbing, the pen gets negatively charged.

We know, opposite charge attract each other and the same charge repel each other.

So, when the pen is negatively charged the tape might be positively charged or the tape might be uncharged.

Hence, the correct answer is option B

A 42.0-kg parachutist is moving straight downward with a speed of 3.85 m/s. (a) If the parachutist comes to rest with constant a
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

-414.96 N

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-3.85^2}{2\times 0.75}\\\Rightarrow a=-9.88\ m/s^2

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=42\times -9.88\\\Rightarrow F=-414.96\ N

The force the ground exerts on the parachutist is -414.96 N

If the distance is shorter than 0.75 m then the acceleration will increase causing the force to increase
