A distant large asteroid is detected that might pose a threat to Earth. If it were to continue moving in a straight line at constant speed, it would pass 28500 km from the center of Earth. However, it will be attracted to Earth and might hit our planet.
What is the minimum speed, in meters per second, that the asteroid should have when it is detected for it to miss hitting Earth? In other words, what speed should the asteroid have for it to just graze the surface of Earth?

- You are the captain of the John Paul Jones, Class-A Battleship on your way to kill the alien ship on the North side of Oahu, Hawaii. Your ship travels 10.36km [W650S] and then 5.60 km [S450W] to meet up with the alien ship. Determine your ship’s total displacement.arrow_forward-20. Two cyclists, Mike and Josh, simultaneously started toward each other from two towns d = 24 km apart. Josh rode at vj = 25 km/h, and Mike %3D at UM = 15 km/h. The moment they start, a fly also starts from Josh towards Mike and after reaching Mike, immediately returns towards Josh. The fly continues back and forth motion between the cyclists till the cyclists meet. Air speed of fly is UF = 30 km/h and the wind blows always towards Mike with a constant velocity u = 10 km/h. Find the total distance s flown by the fly.

She releases the javelin 2.0 m above the ground traveling at an angle of 30 ∘ above the horizontal. Top-rated javelin throwers do throw at about a 30 ∘ angle, not the 45 ∘ you might have expected, because the biomechanics of the arm allow them to throw the javelin much faster at 30 ∘ than they would be able to at 45 ∘ . In this throw, the javelin hits the ground 72 m away. What was the acceleration of the javelin during the throw? Assume that it has a constant acceleration. Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.arrow_forward
- he Xanthar mothership locks onto an enemy cruiser with its tractor beam (see the figure below); each ship is at rest in deep space with no propulsion following a devastating battle. The mothership is at x = 0 when its tractor beams are first engaged, a distance d = 245 xiles from the cruiser. Determine the x-position in xiles (measured from x = 0) of the two spacecraft when the tractor beam has pulled them together. Model each spacecraft as a point particle with the mothership of mass M = 180 xons and the cruiser of mass m = 10.0 xons. A circular mothership of mass M has its center at x = 0. A smaller spacecraft of mass m is to the right of the mothership at a distance d from the ship when the tractor beam is engaged.arrow_forwardSpace debris left from old satellites and their launchers is becoming a hazard to other satellites. One can estimate how long such a collision lasts; if an object of length l is traveling at a velocity v, it will cover a distance l in a time equal to l / v. This is the approximate time of interaction for an object being smashed against another object. Part (a) Calculate the speed (in m/s) of a satellite in an orbit 940 km above Earth’s surface. Part (b) Suppose a loose rivet is in an orbit of the same radius that intersects the satellite’s orbit at an angle of 90°. What is the speed (in m/s) of the rivet relative to the satellite just before striking it? Part (c) Given the rivet is 2.95 mm in size, how long will its collision with the satellite last? In this approximation, the rivet is completely destroyed and the collision does not slow the rivet down. Part (d) If its mass is 0.485 g, what is the average force it exerts on the satellite? The destroyed rivet is assumed to…arrow_forwardA 238U nucleus is moving in the x direction at 5.0×105 m/s when it decays into an alpha particle (4He) and a 234Th nucleus.
