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.

A car is initially driving at 30 m/s. It hits a large pothole, after which it is traveling in the same direction but at 25 m/s.
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The time of Mars is 1.65 times larger on Mars than on Earth

Explanation:

The equation that describes the system is the final speed is equal to the speed minos the speed lost by the collision with the porhole

       Vf = Vo - V pothole

B) let's transform the weight of free groin system and N international system

      1 N = 0.2248 lb

      2.8 lbs (1N / 0.2248lbs) = 12.5 N

c) Kinematic equations are the same in all inertial systems, Mars and Earth, so we can use the height equation, with zero initial velocity

                   

        Y = Vo t - ½ g t²

        Y = - ½ g t²

        t = √ 2Y / g

     

Mars

         gm = 0.37g

         gm = 0.37 9.8

         gm = 3,626 m / s²

         t = √( 2 1.9 / 3.626 )

         t = 1.02 s

Earth

         t = √( 2 1.9 / 9.8)

         t = 0.62 s

To make the comparison of time we are the relationship between the two

         tm / te = 1.02 / 0.62

         tm / te = 1.65

The time of Mars is 1.65 times larger on Mars than on Earth

If an airplane is flying directly north at 300.0 km/h, and a crosswind is hitting the airplane at 50.0 km/h from the east, what
Rashid [163]

Answer:

magnitude = 304.14 km/h

direction: 9.46^o West of North

Explanation:

The final plane's vector velocity will be the result of the vector addition of one pointing North of length 300 km/h, another one pointing West of length 50 km/h.

To find the magnitude of the final velocity vector (speed) we need to apply the Pythagorean theorem in a right angle triangle with sides: 300 and 50, and find its hypotenuse:

|v|=\sqrt{300^2+50^2}=\sqrt{92500}  = 304.14 km/h

The actual direction of the plane is calculated using trigonometry, in particular with the arctan function, since the tangent of the angle can be written as:

tan(\theta)=\frac{50}{300} = \frac{1}{6} \\\theta = arctan(\frac{1}{6} ) = 9.46^o

So the resultant velocity vector of the plane has magnitude = 304.14 km/h,

and it points 9.46^o West of the North direction.

What is the voltage across each resistor?
kogti [31]

Answer:

see solution below

Explanation:

The given resistors are connected in series.

Equivalent resistance in series = 30 + 55 + 15

Equivalent resistance in series Rt = 100 ohms

Since the potential difference in the circuit = 36V

Get the current in the circuit first

I = V/Rt

I = 36/100

I = 0.36A

Get the voltage across 30ohms resistor;

V30 = 0.36 * 30

V30  = 10.8volts

Hence the voltage across the 30ohms resistor is 10.8volts

Get the voltage across 55ohms resistor;

V55 = 0.36 * 55

V55  = 19.8volts

Hence the voltage across the 55ohms resistor is 19.8volts

Get the voltage across 15ohms resistor;

V15 = 0.36 * 15

V15  = 5.4volts

Hence the voltage across the 15ohms resistor is 5.4volts

At a certain location, Earth has a magnetic field of 0.60 ✕ 10−4 T, pointing 75° below the horizontal in a north-south plane. A
saveliy_v [14]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Magnetic field,B=0.6\times 10^{-4} T

\theta=75^{\circ}

Length of wire,l=15 m

Current,I=19 A

a.We have to find the magnitude of magnetic force and direction of magnetic force.

Magnetic force,F=IBlsin\theta

Using the formula

F=0.6\times 10^{-4}\times 15\times 19sin75

F=16.5\times 10^{-3} N

Direction=tan\theta=cot(90-75)=tan15^{\circ}

\theta=15^{\circ}

15 degree above the horizontal  in the northward direction.
