I need help with the following physics problem. Thanks
Question #62
There is a large crater in Arizona called Meteor Crater. It is estimated that it was formed about 20,000 years ago by a meteorite that had a mass of about 5 x 10^10 kg and was traveling at a speed of 7.5 km/sec. How fast could this meteorite have hit the Earth (whose mass is 6 x 10^24 kg) if we assume a head-on collision?
An astronaut of mass 65.0 kg is at rest relative to her space vehicle with nothing behind her except the empty,dark, vacuum of space. Another astronaut decides to play a practical joke on her and throws a 10.0 kg anvil(because those are totally used in space) at her with a velocity of 3.00 m/s. How fast do she and the anvil moveonce she catches it? Just to lower your anxiety, there is a way for her to get back to the space vehicle
A completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of wet putty that move directly toward each other along a vertical axis. Just before the collision, one ball, of mass 3.9 kg, is moving upward at 23 m/s and the other ball, of mass 1.3 kg, is moving downward at 14 m/s. How high do the combined two balls of putty rise above the collision point? (Neglect air drag.)
One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand objects orbiting Earth that are large enough to be detected by radar, but there are far greater numbers of very small objects, such as flakes of paint. Calculate the force exerted by a 0.100 mg chip of paint that strikes a spacecraft window at a relative speed of 4.00 × 10³ m/s, given the collision lasts 6.00 x 10-8 s.
two particles collide in a totally inelastic way. if we know the masses m1 and m2, the angle a and the velocities before the collision v1 and v2. Find the speed of the particles after the collision.
(a) If the impulse experienced during the collision is 200 Ns, use the information in the plot to calculate the peak force experienced during the collision. (b) Calculate the average force experienced during the collision.
Suppose that a garbage truck is 1.35 × 104 kg and is initially moving at 24.5 m/s. What is the speed of the garbage truck, in meters per second, just after it hits and adheres to a trash can that is 195 kg and initially at rest?
A 500-g lump of clay was moving through the air at a speed of 8.00 m/s when it hit and got stuck to 1.00 kg wooden block, initially at rest on the floor. Assuming negligible friction between the wooden block and the floor, with what speed do the clay and wooden block moved together?
in 8.43s, 168 bullets strike and embed themselves in a wall. The bullets strike the wall perpendicularly. Each bullet has a mass of 5 x 10-3 kg and a speed of 931 m/s. (a) What is the average change in momentum per second for the bullets? (b) Determine the average force exerted on the wall. (c) Assuming the bullets are spread out over an area of 2.76x 10-4 m7 obtain the average pressure they exert on this region of the wall.
An astronaut in orbit outside an orbiting space station throus her 800.0-g camera away in disgust when it jams. If she and her space suit together have a mass of 100.0 kg and the speed of the camera is 12.0 m/s what will be the speed of the astronaut after throwing the camera b. how far away from the space station will she be in 5 minutes?
