Answer:
The total amount of energy that would have been released if the asteroid hit earth = The kinetic energy of the asteroid = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J = 1.29 PetaJoules = 1.29 PJ
1 PJ = 10¹⁵ J
Explanation:
Kinetic energy = mv²/2
velocity of the asteroid is given as 7.8 km/s = 7800 m/s
To obtain the mass, we get it from the specific gravity and diameter information given.
Density = specific gravity × 1000 = 3 × 1000 = 3000 kg/m³
But density = mass/volume
So, mass = density × volume.
Taking the informed assumption that the asteroid is a sphere,
Volume = 4πr³/3
Diameter = 30 m, r = D/2 = 15 m
Volume = 4π(15)³/3 = 14137.2 m³
Mass of the asteroid = density × volume = 3000 × 14137.2 = 42411501 kg = 4.24 × 10⁷ kg
Kinetic energy of the asteroid = mv²/2 = (4.24 × 10⁷)(7800²)/2 = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J
Answer:
The required angle is (90-25)° = 65°
Explanation:
The given motion is an example of projectile motion.
Let 'v' be the initial velocity and '∅' be the angle of projection.
Let 't' be the time taken for complete motion.
Let 'g' be the acceleration due to gravity
Taking components of velocity in horizontal(x) and vertical(y) direction.
= v cos(∅)
= v sin(∅)
We know that for a projectile motion,
t =
Since there is no force acting on the golf ball in horizonal direction.
Total distance(d) covered in horizontal direction is -
d = ×t = vcos(∅)× = .
If the golf ball has to travel the same distance 'd' for same initital velocity v = 23m/s , then the above equation should have 2 solutions of initial angle 'α' and 'β' such that -
α +β = 90° as-
d = = = = .
∴ For the initial angles 'α' or 'β' , total horizontal distance 'd' travelled remains the same.
∴ If α = 25° , then
β = 90-25 = 65°
∴ The required angle is 65°.
If the field is in a vacuum, the magnetic field is the dominant factor determining the motion. Since the magnetic force is perpendicular to the direction of travel, a charged particle follows a curved path in a magnetic field. The particle continues to follow this curved path until it forms a complete circle. Another way to look at this is that the magnetic force is always perpendicular to velocity, so that it does no work on the charged particle. The particle’s kinetic energy and speed thus remain constant. The direction of motion is affected but not the speed.
A negatively charged particle moves in the plane of the paper in a region where the magnetic field is perpendicular to the paper (represented by the small × ’s—like the tails of arrows). The magnetic force is perpendicular to the velocity, so velocity changes in direction but not magnitude. The result is uniform circular motion.
Well i think the best answer would be A
Answer:
v₁ = 2.48m/s, v₂ = 0.02m/s
Explanation:
Momentum p must be conserved. p = mv
1) First person throwing the snow ball. The momentum before the throw:
p = (65kg + 0.045kg) * 2.5 m/s
The momentum after the throw:
p = 65kg * v₁ + 0.045kg * 30m/s
Solving for the velocity v₁ of person 1:
v₁ = ((65kg + 0.045kg) * 2.5 m/s - 0.045kg * 30m/s) / 65kg = 2.48m/s
2) Second person catching the ball. The momentum before the catch:
p = 0.045kg * 30m/s + 60kg * 0m/s
The momentum after the catch:
p = (60kg + 0.045kg) * v₂
Solving for velocity v₂ of person 2:
v₂ = 0.045kg * 30m/s / (60kg + 0.045kg) = 0.02 m/s
