Could the earth have decreased when the astroid hit

1 answer:

7 0

If an asteroid were to strike land or a shallow body of water, it would eject an enormous amount of dust, ash, and other material into the atmosphere, blocking the radiation from the Sun. This would cause the global temperature to decrease drastically..

Setting reference frame so that the x axis is along the incline and y is perpendicular to the incline
X: mgsin65 - F = mAx 
Y: N - mgcos65 = 0 (N is the normal force on the incline) N = mgcos65 (which we knew) 
Moment about center of mass: 
Fr = Iα 
Now Ax = rα 
and F = umgcos65 
mgsin65 - umgcos65 = mrα -------------> gsin65 - ugcos65 = rα (this is the X equation m's cancel) 
umgcos65(r) = 0.4mr^2(α) -----------> ugcos65(r) = 0.4r(rα) (This is the moment equation m's cancel) 
ugcos65(r) = 0.4r(gsin65 - ugcos65) ( moment equation subbing in X equation for rα) 
ugcos65 = 0.4(gsin65 - ugcos65) 
1.4ugcos65 = 0.4gsin65 
1.4ucos65 = 0.4sin65 
u = 0.4sin65/1.4cos65 
u = 0.613

If he leaves the ramp with a speed of 31.0 m/s and has a speed of 29.5 m/s at the top of his trajectory, determine his maximum h

raketka [301]

Answer:

The maximum height reached is 4.63 m.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial speed of the man (u) = 31.0 m/s

Speed at the top of trajectory ( $u_x$ ) = 29.5 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

When the man reaches the top of the trajectory, the vertical component of velocity becomes zero and hence only horizontal component of velocity acts on him.

Also, since there is no net force acting in the horizontal direction, the acceleration is zero in the horizontal direction from Newton's second law. Thus, the horizontal component of velocity always remains the same.

So, speed at the top of trajectory is nothing but the horizontal component of initial velocity.

Now, initial velocity can be rewritten in terms of its components as:

$u^2=u_x^2+u_y^2$

Where, $u_x\ and\ u_y$ are the initial horizontal and vertical velocities of the man.

Now, plug in the given values and simplify. This gives,

$(31.0)^2=(29.5)^2+u_y^2\\\\961=870.25+u_y^2\\\\u_y^2=961-870.25\\\\u_y^2=90.75\ m^2/s^2--------1$

Now, we know that, for a projectile motion, the maximum height is given as:

$H=\frac{u_y^2}{2g}$

Plug in the value from equation (1) and 9.8 for 'g' to solve for 'H'. This gives,

$H=\frac{90.75}{2\times 9.8}\\\\H=4.63\ m$

Therefore, the maximum height reached is 4.63 m.
