Question:
A spherical satellite ofapproximately uniform density with radius 5.4 m and mass 290 kg isoriginally moving with velocity (2600, 0, 0) m/s, and is originallyrotating with an angular speed 2 rad/s, in the direction shown inthe diagram. A small piece of space junk of mass 8.6 kg isinitially moving toward the satellite with velocity (?2200, 0, 0)m/s. The space junk hits the edge of the satellite as shown in thefigure below, and moves off with a new velocity(?1300, 480, 0)m/s.Both before and after the collision, the rotation of the space junkis negligible.
(a) Just after the collision, what are the components of thecenter-of-mass velocity of the satellite(vx andvy) and its rotational speed?? (For vx, enter your answerto at least four significant figures.)
Vx=(m/s)Vy=(m/s)w=(rad/s)(b) Calculate the rise in the internal energy of the satellite andspace junk combined. |
