In the past, asteroids striking the earth have produced disastrous results. If we discovered an asteroid on a collision course with the earth, we could, in principle, deflect it and avoid an impact by focusing a laser on the surface. Intense surface heating from the laser could cause surface material to be ejected into space at high speed.

Required:
How would this deflect the asteroid?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explained below.

Explanation:

We are told that the surface material is ejected into space at a high speed. This means that it will have a likely high momentum as well.

Now, we can say that the total momentum is conserved because the entire asteroid system behaves like an isolated system.

Also, as the surface material is moving with the high momentum like we established earlier, it will cause the asteroid to move with a speed in an opposite direction which also means deflection in an opposite direction.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explained below.

Explanation:

The material ejected from the surface of the asteroid would have a significant momentum. Since the asteroid and all its material is an isolated system, the ejection would cause an oppositely directed change in momentum of the asteroid, according to the law of conservation of momentum.

The ejected material is analogous to gases expelled from a rocket, and the asteroid is analogous to a rocket.

1)   P₁ = -2 D,   2) P₂ = 6 D

Explanation:

for this exercise in geometric optics let's use the equation of the constructor

          [tex]\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}[/tex]

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distance to the object and the image, respectively

1) to see a distant object it must be at infinity (p = ∞)

          [tex]\frac{1}{f_1} = \frac{1}{q}[/tex]

           q = f₁

2) for an object located at p = 25 cm

            [tex]\frac{1}{f_2} = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{q}[/tex]

We can that in the two expressions we have the distance to the image, this is the distance where it can be seen clearly in general for a normal person is q = 50 cm

we substitute in the equations

1) f₁ = -50 cm

2)  

        [tex]\frac{1}{f_2} = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{50}[/tex]

        [tex]\frac{1}{f_2}[/tex] = 0.06

         f₂ = 16.67 cm

the expression for the power of the lenses is

          P = [tex]\frac{1}{f}[/tex]

where the focal length is in meters

           

1)       P₁ = 1/0.50

        P₁ = -2 D

2)     P₂ = 1 /0.16667

        P₂ = 6 D

16. Two electric bulbs marked 100W 220V and 200W 200V have tungsten
filament of same length. Which of the two bulbs will have thicker
filament?

Answers

Answer:

The second bulb will have thicker filament

Explanation:

Given;

First electric bulb: Power, P₁ = 100 W and Voltage, V₁ = 220 V

Second electric bulb: Power, P₂ = 200 W and Voltage, V₂ = 200 V

Resistivity of tungsten, ρ = 4.9 x 10⁻⁸ ohm. m

Resistance of the first bulb:

[tex]P = IV = \frac{V}{R} .V = \frac{V^2}{R} \\\\R = \frac{V^2}{P} \\\\R_1 = \frac{V_1^2}{P_1} = \frac{(220)^2}{100} = 484 \ ohms[/tex]

Resistance of the second bulb:

[tex]R_2 = \frac{V_2^2}{P_2} = \frac{(200)^2}{200} = 200 \ ohms[/tex]

Resistivity of the tungsten filament is given by the following equation;

[tex]\rho = \frac{RA}{L}[/tex]

where;

L is the length of the filament

R is resistance of each filament

A is area of each filament

[tex]A = \pi r^2[/tex]

where;

r is the thickness of each filament

[tex]\rho = \frac{R (\pi r^2)}{L} \\\\\frac{\rho L}{\pi} = Rr^2 \\\\Recall ,\ \frac{\rho L}{\pi} \ is \ constant \ for \ both \ filaments\\\\R_1r_1^2 = R_2r_2^2\\\\(\frac{r_1}{r_2} )^2 = \frac{R_2}{R_1} \\\\\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \sqrt{\frac{R_2}{R_1} } \\\\\frac{r_1}{r_2} = \sqrt{\frac{200}{484} } \\\\\frac{r_1}{r_2} = 0.64\\\\r_1 = 0.64 \ r_2\\\\r_2 = 1.56 \ r_1[/tex]

Therefore, the second bulb will have thicker filament

In a movie production, a stunt person must leap from a balcony of one building to a balcony 3.0 m lower on another building. If the buildings are 2.0 m apart, what is the minimum horizontal velocity the stunt person must have to accomplish the jump? Assume no air resistance and that ay = −g = −9.81 m/s2 . (Ans. 2.6m/s) PLS SHOW WORK

Answers

You are looking for Vx0 (initial velocity in X direction) use this formula
remember there is no acceleration in x direction, only Y

X = x0 + Vx0(t) + (1/2)at^2
X= 0 + Vx0 (t) + 0
x= Vx0 (t)
Vx0 = x/t

what we are missing is Time, so u can get this from using the Y formula to find time
Remember there is no velocity in Y direction

Y=y0 + Vy0(t) - (1/2)gt^2
y= 0 +0 - (1/2)gt^2
(3.0 m *2) / 9.80m/s/s = t^2
0.61224 = t^2
t = 0.78 s

now plug this time back into this formula from above
Vx0 = x/t
= 2.0m / 0.78s
=2.6

This question involves the concept of semi-projectile motion. It can be solved using the equations of motion in the horizontal and the vertical motion.

The minimum horizontal velocity required is "2.6 m/s".

First, we will analyze the vertical motion of the stunt person. We will use the second equation of motion in the vertical direction to find the time interval for the motion.

[tex]h=v_it+\frac{1}{2}gt^2[/tex]

where,

h = height = 3 m

vi = initial vertical speed = 0 m/s

t = time interval = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

therefore,

[tex]3\ m = (0\ m/s)(t) + \frac{1}{2}(9.81\ m/s^2)t^2\\\\t^2 = \frac{(3\ m)(2)}{9.81\ m/s^2}\\\\t = \sqrt{0.611\ s^2}[/tex]

t = 0.78 s

Now, we will analyze the horizontal motion. We assume no air resistance, so the horizontal motion will be uniform. Hence, using the equation of uniform motion here:

[tex]s = vt\\\\v = \frac{s}{t}[/tex]

where,

s = horizontal distance = 2 m

t =0.78 s

v = minimum horizontal velocity = ?

Therefore,

[tex]v = \frac{2\ m}{0.78\ s}[/tex]

v = 2.6 m/s

Neglect friction and the size of the box

Answers

Answer:

W = 1.875 J

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the relationship between work and kinetic energy

          W = ΔK

The kinetic energy of rotational motion is

         K₀ = ½ I w²

we can assume that the box is small, so it can be treated as a point object, with moment of inertia

          I = m rₐ²

angular and linear velocity are related

          v = w r

          w = v / r

we substitute in the equation, for point A

         K₀ = ½ (m rₐ²) (v / rₐ)²

         K₀ = ½ m v²

For the final point B, as the system is isolated the angular momentum is conserved

initial        L₀ = Io wo

final          L_f = I_f w_f

                L₀ = L_f

                 I₀ w₀ = I_f w_f

               

                (m rₐ²) w₀ = (m  [tex]r_{b} ^2[/tex]) w_f

                 w_f = (rₐ/r_b)² w₀

with this value we find the final kinetic energy

         K_f = ½ I_f w_f²

         K_f = ½ (m [tex]r_{b}^2[/tex]) ( (rₐ / r_b)²  w₀) ²

         K_f = ½ m [tex]\frac{r_a^4}{r_b^2} \ w_o^2[/tex]

 

we substitute in the realcion of work

          W = K_f - K₀

          W = ½ m  [tex]( \( \frac {r_a^2 }{r_b} )^2[/tex] w₀² - ½ m v²

          W = ½ m  [tex]\frac{r_a^4}{r_b^2} ( \frac{v}{r_a} ) ^2[/tex] - ½ m v²

           W = ½ m [tex]\frac{r_a^2}{r_b^2} \ v^2[/tex] - ½ m v2

          W = ½ m v² (([tex]( \ (\frac{r_a}{r_b})^2 -1)[/tex]

let's calculate

           W = ½ ( [tex]\frac{8}{32}[/tex] ) 5 ((2/1)² -1)

           W = 0.625 (3)

           W = 1.875 J

When a 20 kg explosive detonates and sends a 5 kilogram piece traveling to the right at 105 m/s
what is the speed and direction of the other 15 kilogram piece of the explosive!

Answers

Answer:

speed: 35m/s

direction: left

Explanation:

Assuming the right side is the positive direction:

before explosion:

P = mv = 0

after explosion:

P' = 15P + 5P

(Set the velocity of the 15kg piece after explosion as v1' and the velocity of the 5kg piece after explosion as v2')

P' = 0.75mv1' + 0.25mv2'

P' = (15kg)v' + (5kg)(105m/s)

P' = 525kg/m/s + (15kg)v1'

P = P'

525kg/m/s + (15kg)v1' = 0

(15kg)v1' = -525kg/m/s

v1' = -35m/s

speed = |-35| = 35m/s

direction is to the left since the right side is the positive direction.
