- On Oct 31 2015, massive asteroid TB145 nicknamed "Spooky" passed near the Earth vicinity. The measured diameter of the asteroid: 600meters, and its speed relative to the Sun: 30.5 km/s. (NOTE you are not given the parameters of collision, so they become important part of the "worst case -best case scenario.") Treat the asteroid as spherical object with the density of between 3g/cm³ to 4g/cm³. Treat an Earth's orbit around the Sun as a perfect circle of radius =150 x 106 km. Take one year to be 365.24days. Find the worst case scenario for the collision of such object with the Earth and find the Maximum energy released in the completely inelastic collision of this object with Earth.

The increase in enthalpy of air passing through the compressor is (hz-h: = 150 kJ/kg) and heat loos to the surroundings at a rate of 700 kJ/min.

- A satellite is floating in space. Solar wind sweeping past the satellite consists of a stream of particles, mainly hydrogen ions of mass 1.7×10−27 kg. There are about 0.5×105 ions per cubic meter, and their speed is 8.0×105 m/s. An `umbrella' attached to the satellite is slowly opened, such that the radius of the circular cross-section of the umbrella is changing with time as r(t)=bt2, where b=0.1 m/s2 is a constant (see the figure which shows the side and front views). What is the maximum change of momentum of the satellite due to the solar wind hitting this umbrella after a time of 10 seconds? Explain carefully why this is the maximum possible change. You must explain your reasoning every step of the way!arrow_forwardAn 20.g bullet is fired from a rifle having a barrel 0.50 m long. Choosing the origin to be at the location where the bullet begins to move, then the force (in newtons) exerted by the expanding gas on the bullet is given by: F(x) = 1.7.10^3N + (1.0.10^2 N/m) x - (2.610^3 N/m^2)x^2 where x is in meters. Find the speed of the bullet as it leaves the barrel.arrow_forwardIn the simple kinetic theory of a gas we discussed in class, the molecules are assumed to be point-like objects (without any volume) so that they rarely collide with one another. In reality, each molecule has a small volume and so there are collisions. Let's assume that a molecule is a hard sphere of radius r. Then the molecules will occasionally collide with each other. The average distance traveled between two successive collisions (called mean free path) is λ = V/(4π √2 r2N) where V is the volume of the gas containing N molecules. Calculate the mean free path of a H2 molecule in a hydrogen gas tank at STP. Assume the molecular radius to be 10-10 a) 2.1*10-7 m b) 4.2*10-7 m c) none of these.arrow_forward
- The force between two inert gas atoms is often described by a function of the form F = [Ax^−13 + Bx^−7] ex where A and B are positive constants and x is the distance between the atoms. The origin has been placed at the location of one of the atoms, and F is the force on the other atom; ex points from the origin towards the other atom. Answer in terms of A and B. (a) Plot the component of F as a function of x. For which values of x is this an attractive force, and for what values is this a repulsive force? (b) What is the equilibrium separation? (c) What is the work done if the atoms are moved from their equilibrium separation to a very large distance apart? (d) Is this a conservative force? If yes, show it! If no, explain. (e) Find the potential energy function (if applicable). Plot this function versus x. (f) Explain the relation between your answers to parts b and d.arrow_forwardMolecules in a spherical container make wall collisions in a great circle plane of the sphere. All paths traveled between collisions are equal in length. (a) Relate the path length Al to the angle 0 and the sphere radius r. (b) Express the component of the molecular momentum transferred to the wall in a collision in terms of the molecular mass m, the speed v, and the angle 0. (c) Using parts (a) and (b), calculate the average force exerted on the wall by one molecule. (d) Derive the relation PV = PV = } Nmv² for a spheri- cal container. This is the same relation found for a rectangular box in Section 9.5.arrow_forwardFor years, the tallest tower in the United States was the Phoenix Shot Tower in Baltimore, Maryland. The shot tower was used from 1828 to1892 to make lead shot for pistols and rifles and molded shot for cannons and other instruments of warfare. Molten lead was dropped from the top of the 234-foot (71.3 meter) tall tower into a vat of water. During its free fall, the lead would form a perfectly spherical droplet and solidify. Determine the time of fall and the speed of a lead shot upon hitting the water at the bottom.arrow_forward

Your team decides to observe the behavior of this object but due to the heat that it's giving off, it is required that your satellite obtain a circular orbit of at least r = 5.3e5km to be considered 'safe'.
