Mass of the meteorite = M = 27 pound
Speed of the meteorite with which it struck the car = V1 = 130 m/s
Final speed of the meteorite = V2 = 0 m/s
Depth of the dent = D = 22 cm = 0.22 m
Deceleration of the meteorite = a
V22 = V12 + 2aD
(0)2 = (130)2 + 2a(0.22)
a = -38409.1 m/s2
Negative as it is deceleration.
We are asked for the magnitude therefore it will be positive.
Magnitude of the deceleration of the meteorite = 38409.1 m/s2
53. A Meteorite Strikes On October 9, 1992, a 27-pound meteorite struck a car in Peekskill,...
A Meteorite shooting vertically down into the Earth, weighing 27 pounds and traveling at 130 m/s, is found 22 cm deep in the ground. What was the magnitude of the acceleration necessary to stop the meteorite? ?
What are the Solutions to Part B of Chapter 2 of Tillery Physics 9th edition.......kinda pointless for you guys to only have the solutions that the book has already. 1. What was the average speed in km/h of a car that travels 400.0 km in 4.5 h? 2. What was the average speed in km/h of a boat that moves 15.0 km across a lake in 45 min? 3. How much would a 80.0 kg person weigh (a) on Mars,...
