In the past, Earth has been hit by many asteroids, some very large. Suppose one such asteroid approached Earth so that when it was very far away it was traveling at 6500 m/s along a line that would miss the center of Earth by 8,500,000 m
Because of the gravitational attraction of Earth, it departed from this straight line and curved towards Earth, colliding with it. What was the speed of this asteroid when it hit Earth if we ignore the effect of the sun? The mass of Earth is 5.97 × 1024 kg, its radius is 6.38 × 106 m, and G = 6.67 × 10-11 N ? m2/kg2. A) 11400 m/s B) 12900 m/s C) 13700 m/s D) 15800 m/s E) 16400 m/s
The motion of a piston in an auto engine is simple harmonic. If the piston travels back and forth over a distance of 10 cm, and the piston has a mass of 1.5 kg, what is the maximum speed of the piston and the maximum force acting on the piston when the engine is running at 4 200 rpm?
