What is the danger to spacecraft and astronauts from micrometeoroids?

Physics
1 answer:
Sloan [31]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Suppose the micrometeoroid weighed 1 g = .001 kg

Suppose also the spacecraft were moving at 18,000 mph (1.5 hrs per rev)

Usually, the smaller particle would be moving but for simplicity suppose that it were stationary wrt the ground

v = 18000 miles / hr * 1500 m/mile / 3600 sec/hr = 7500 m/s

KE = 1/2 * .001 kg * (7500 m)^2 = 28,125 Joules

One can see that 28000 Joules could be damaging amount of energy

what is a hypothesis reffered to as after being verified by a large number or independent experiments
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The hypothesis may or may not be true and needs to be tested. It might be the answer to the problem. Hence, it must be tested thoroughly. When these predictions are tested again and again in independent scientific experiments and gets verified, the hypothesis is converted into a scientific theory.

Calculate the amount of heat (in kj) required to raise the temperature of a 79.0 g sample of ethanol from 298.0 k to 385.0 k. th
earnstyle [38]
We are given with the specific heat capacity of ethanol, the mass of the sample and the temperature change to determine the total amount of heat to raise the temperature. The formula to be followed is H = mCpΔT. Upon subsituting, H = 79 g * 2.42 J/gC *(385-298)C = 16.63 kJ
