The ship has a mass of 520,000 kg and is traveling toward galactic at a speed of 6,200 m/s. Suddenly, an asteroid traveling the opposite direction at a speed of 8300 m/s strikes the spaceship. When the astronauts wake up, they find the asteroid embedded in the hull of their ship, which is now traveling at a speed of 4800 m/s, still in the direction of galactic north. Determine the mass of the asteroid. Determine how much kinetic energy was lost in the collision in joules.

- A 0.25 kg mass of clay is moving with a horizontal velocity of v when it collides and sticks to a 5 kg object hanging from the end of a 1 meter long rod. Find the minimum velocity v so that the objects will make one complete revolution.arrow_forwardA ball named "Exploding kitten" initially at rest suddenly explodes into two parts. One, with mass of 0.98 kg has a resulting speed of 6.78 m/s relative to its original position. The other mass is moving at a speed of 9.43 m/s. What is its mass? Express your answer in two decimal places with units of kg.arrow_forwardWe know that the mass of the bagged lunch is m = 1.40 kg and the mass of the astronaut is M = 67.0 kg. Before the collision, the bagged lunch moves with a velocity of vi = 1.60 m/s in the positive x-direction and the astronaut is at rest relative to the space station with velocity Vi = 0. MVi + mvi = MVf + mvf to obtain (67.0 kg)(0 m/s) + (1.40 kg)(1.60 m/s) = (67.0 kg)Vf + (1.40 kg)vf. Because vf = Vf, this further simplifies to (67.0 kg)(0 m/s) + (1.40 kg)(1.60 m/s) = (1.40 kg + 67.0 kg)Vf. What is the velocity of the astronaut after the collision?arrow_forward
- The space probe Deep Space 1 was launched on October 24, 1998. Its mass was 474 kg. The goal of the mission was to test a new kind of engine called an ion propulsion drive. This engine generated only a weak thrust, but it could do so over long periods of time with the consumption of only small amounts of fuel. The mission was spectacularly successful. At a thrust of 56 mN how many days were required for the probe to attain a velocity of 780 m/s (1740 mi/h), assuming that the probe started from rest and that the mass remained nearly constant?arrow_forwardThe Moon’s craters are remnants of meteorite collisions. Suppose a fairly large asteroid that has a mass of 4.95 × 1012 kg (such an asteroid is about a kilometer across) strikes the Moon at a speed of 14.5 km/s relative to the Moon. What is the change in kinetic energy, in joules, in the collision? Such an event may have been observed by medieval English monks who reported observing a red glow and subsequent haze about the Moon.arrow_forwardA 68.5-kg astronaut is doing a repair in space on the orbiting space station.
