Earth that are large enough to be detected by radar (the figure below shows space debris in orbit tracked
by radar), but there are far greater numbers of very
small objects, such as flakes of paint. Calculate the
magnitude of the force exerted by a 0.150 mg chip of
paint that strikes a spacecraft window at a relative
speed of 4.00 x 103 m/s, given the collision lasts
5.40 x 10-8 s. (Assume the paint chip sticks to the
spacecraft.)
Calculate the magnitude of the force exerted by the
paint chip.
