On August 10, 1972, a large meteorite skipped across the atmosphere above the western United States and western Canada, much like a stone skipped across water. The accompanying fireball was so bright that it could be seen in the daytime sky and was brighter than the usual meteorite trail. The meteorite’s mass was about
4×106kg; its speed was about 15 km/s. Had it entered the atmosphere vertically, it would have hit Earth’s surface with about the same speed.
(a) Calculate the meteorite’s loss of kinetic energy (in joules) that would have been associated with the vertical impact.
(b) Express the energy as a multiple of the explosive energy of 1 megaton of TNT, which is
4.2×1015J.
(c) The energy associated with the atomic bomb explosion over Hiroshima was equivalent to 13 kilotons of TNT. To how many Hiroshima bombs would the meteorite impact have been equivalent?

Determine the fraction of the magnitude of kinetic energy lost by a neutron (m1 = 1.01 u) when it collides head-on and elastically with a target particle at rest which is 21h (heavy hydrogen, m = 2.01 u).

Aturntable a is built into a stage for use in a theatrical production. it is observed during a rehearsal that a trunk b starts to slide on the turntable 10 s after the turntable begins to rotate. knowing that the trunk undergoes a constant tangential acceleration of 0.31 m/s2, determine the coefficient of static friction between the trunk and the turntable.

A250-n box is at rest on a frictionless horizotal floor. then a person shoves the box with a non-zero force of magnitude p. which statement best describes the relationship betweeen p and the motion of the box after it was shoved? -the box will not move when p< 250n but otherwise will accelerate at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p - the box will begin moving at a speed that is directly proportional to p, then will gradually slow to a halt -the box will move with constant velocity at a speed that is directly proportional to p -box will accelerate across the floor at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p
