As per the question, the mass of meteorite [ m]= 50 kg
The velocity of the meteorite [v] = 1000 m/s
When the meteorite falls on the ground, it will give whole of its kinetic energy to earth.
We are asked to calculate the gain in kinetic energy of earth.
The kinetic energy of meteorite is calculated as -
Here, J stands for Joule which is the S.I unit of energy.
So there is a decimal after the last zero and it looks like this 5098000. You have to move the decimal point six back to get in between the five and the zero which looks like this 5.098000
<span>Scientific notation is the way that scientists easily handle very large numbers or very small numbers. For example, instead of writing 0.0000000056, we write 5.6 x 10^<span>9</span>.</span>
Being that we moved the decimal six places back the answer is 5.098 x 10^6
Answer:
Explanation:
The artificial gravity generated by the rotating space station is the same centripetal acceleration due to the rotational motion of the station, which is given by:
Here, r is the radius and v is the tangential speed, which is given by:
Here is the angular velocity, we replace (2) in (1):
Recall that .
Solving for :
