A spaceship of frontal area 10 m2 moves through a large dust cloud with a speed of 1 x 106 m/s. The mass density of the dust is

3 x 10-18 kg/m3. If all the particles of dust that impact the spaceship stick to it, find the average decelerating force that the impacting particles exert on the ship. (You may assume that the mass of dust which sticks to the spacecraft is negligible compared to the mass of the spacecraft.)

Answer:

The decelerating force is 3\times 10^{- 11}\ N

Solution:

As per the question:

Frontal Area, A = 10\ m^{2}

Speed of the spaceship, v = 1\times 10^{6}\ m/s

Mass density of dust, \rho_{d} = 3\times 10^{- 18}\ kg/m^{3}

Now, to calculate the average decelerating force exerted by the particle:

Mass,\ m = \rho_{d}V                                (1)

Volume, V = A\times v\times t

Thus substituting the value of volume, V in eqn (1):

m = \rho_{d}(Avt)

where

A = Area

v = velocity

t = time

m = \rho_{d}(A\times v\times t)                  (2)

Momentum,\ p = \rho_{d}(Avt)v = \rho_{d}Av^{2}t

From Newton's second law of motion:

F = \frac{dp}{dt}

Thus differentiating w.r.t time 't':

F_{avg} = \frac{d}{dt}(\rho_{d}Av^{2}t) = \rho_{d}Av^{2}

where

F_{avg} = average decelerating force of the particle

Now, substituting suitable values in the above eqn:

F_{avg} = 3\times 10^{- 18}\times 10\times 1\times 10^{6} = 3\times 10^{- 11}\ N

A 1000-kg car is driving toward the north along a straight horizontal road at a speed of 20.0 m/s. The driver applies the brakes
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 1000 kg

initial velocity, u = 20 m/s

final velocity, v = 0 m/s

distance, s = 120 m

Let a be the acceleration of motion

use third equation of motion

v² = u² + 2 as

0 = 20 x 20 + 2 x a x 120

a = - 1.67 m/s²

Let F be the force

Force, F  mass x acceleration

F = - 1000 x 1.67

F = - 1666.67 N

The direction of force is towards south and the magnitude of force is 1666.67 N.

A block of size 20m x 10 mx 5 m exerts a force of 30N. Calculate the
Orlov [11]

Answer:

We know that force applied per unit area is called pressure.

Pressure = Force/ Area

When force is constant than pressure is inversely proportional to area.

1- Calculating the area of three face:

A1 = 20m x 10 m =200 Square meter

A2 = 10 mx 5 m = 50 Square meter

A3 = 20m x 5 m = 100 Square meter

Therefore A1 is maximum and A2 is minimum.

2- Calculate pressure:

P = F/ A1 = 30 / 200 = 0.15 Nm⁻²  ( minimum pressure)

P = F / A2 = 30 / 50 = 0.6 Nm⁻²   ( maximum pressure)

Hence greater the area less will be the pressure and vice versa.
