Answer:

1.1x10¹⁶ kg

Explanation:

Let m =  mass of asteroid y.

Because asteroid y has three times the mass of asteroid z, the mass of asteroid z is m/3.

Given:

F = 6.2x10⁸ N

d = 2100 km = 2.1x10⁶ m

Note that

G = 6.67408x10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²)

The gravitational force between the asteroids is

F = (G*m*(m/3))/d² = (Gm²)/(3d²)

or

m² = (3Fd²)/G

    = [(3*(6.2x10⁸ N)*(2.1x10⁶ m)²]/(6.67408x10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg-s²))

   = 1.229x10³² kg²

m = 1.1086x10¹⁶ kg = 1.1x10¹⁶ kg (approx)

Leni [432]

Answer:

67.6 m

Explanation:

For this problem, we just need to analyze the motion of the two planes after the collision.

The two planes stick together and move with a velocity of

u = 19.3 m/s

The problem tells us that they skid until they stop: so, their final velocity is

v = 0

Since the velocity is not constant, this means that they are accelerating.

We also know that they skid for a time of

t = 7 s

Therefore, we can find their stopping distance using the following suvat equation

s=(\frac{u+v}{2})t

And substituting, we find

s=(\frac{0+19.3}{2})(7)=67.6 m

During takeoff, an airplane goes from 0 to 60 m/s in 10 s.
Elis [28]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

acceleration = Δv /Δt

  for this situation  60 / 10 = 6 m/s^2

B)  vf = vo + at

vf = 0   + 6(3)  =<u> 18 m/s   after 3 seconds </u>

<u />

C)   vf = at

60 = 6 ( t)      t = 10 seconds   ( actually, this was given)  

d = 1/2 a t^2

  = 1/2 (6) (10)^2 = <u>300 m  </u>

<u />
