A steel safe with mass 2200kg falls onto concrete. Just before hitting the concrete its speed is 40m/s , and it smashes without rebounding and ends up being 0.06m shorter than before. What is the approximate magnitude of the force exerted on the safe by the concrete? How does this compare with the gravitational force of the Earth on the safe? Explain your analysis carefully, and justify your estimates on physical grounds.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The magnitude of forceexerted by the safe on the concrete is2.93'107N.

The gravitational force of the Earth on the safe is 2.16'104N.

The force by the impact on the steel is 1.33'103times greater than the gravitational force on the safe.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Mass of the steel safem=2200kg.

Speed of the steel safe before hitting the concretev=40m/s.

The change in length of the steel safeD/=0.6m.

A force is a push or pull on an object caused by the interaction of the thing with another object. Every time two things interact, a force is exerted on each of them.

02

Compute time interval

The change in length of the safe isD1=0.06m. Using the approximation

role="math" localid="1656668384432" vravgvrf+vri/2=0,0n~+0,40,0n~/2=,20,0r~m/s.

The time interval that the safe and the concrete were in contact is :

Dt=D1VIavg=0.0620=3'103s

Thus, the value of is 3'103s.

03

Compute force exerted

The force exerted is given by the formulaFr=DpIDt

Substituting the value of Dtas3'103sand expanding the formula,

localid="1656669677695" Fr=0,mvy,00,0,0n~1.5'103=0,8.8'104,01.5'103=0,2.93'107,0N

Thus, the force exerted by the safe on the concrete is 0,2.93'107,0N.

04

Compute gravitational force on safe

The magnitude of gravitational force is:

|Fr|=022.93'1072+02=2.93'107N

The gravitational force on the safe is found using the formulaFg=mg.

Fg=22009.8=2.16'104N

Thus, the gravitational force of the Earth on the safe is 2.16'104N.

05

Compare both forces

Take the ratio of force exerted by the safe and thegravitational force of the Earth:

FimpactFg=2.93'107N2.2'104N=1.33'103

The force by the impact on the steel is 1.33'103greater than the gravitational force on the safe, one factor that made the force is the time duration.

cart rolls with low friction on a track. A fan is mounted on the cart, and when the fan is turned on, there is a constant force acting on the cart. Three different experiments are performed:

(a) Fan off: The cart is originally at rest. You give it a brief push, and it coasts a long distance along the track in the +x direction, slowly coming to a stop.

(b) Fan forward: The fan is turned on, and you hold the cart stationary. You then take your hand away, and the cart moves forward, in the +x direction. After traveling a long distance along the track, you quickly stop and hold the cart.

(c) Fan backward: The fan is turned on facing the 鈥渨rong鈥 way, and you hold the cart stationary. You give it a brief push, and the cart moves forward, in the +x direction, slowing down and then turning around, returning to the starting position, where you quickly stop and hold the cart. Figure 2.57 displays four graphs of px (numbered 1鈥4), the x component of momentum, vs. time. The graphs start when the cart is at rest, and end when the cart is again at rest. Match the experiment with the correct graph.

You observe three carts moving to the left. Cart A moves to the left at nearly constant speed. Cart B moves to the left, gradually speeding up. Cart C moves to the left, gradually slowing down. Which cart or carts, if any, experience a net force to the left?

A barbell consist of two small balls, each with mass m=0.4kg,at the ends of a very low mass rod of length d=0.6m. It is mounted on the end of a low-mass rigid rod of lengthb=0.9m(figure). The apparatus is set in motion in such a way that although the rod rotates clockwise with angular speed localid="1668604224599" 1=15rad/s, the barbell maintains its vertical orientation. Calculate these vector quantities: (a) localid="1668604234930" Lrot, (b) localid="1668604258387" Ltrans,B,(c) localid="1668604276383" Ltot,B.

A spherical satellite of approximately uniform density with radius\(4.8m\)and mass\(205kg\)is originally moving with velocity\(\left\langle {2600,0,0} \right\rangle m/s,\)and is originally rotating with an angular speed\(2rad/s,\)in the direction shown in the diagram. A small piece of space junk of mass\(4.1kg\)is initially moving toward the satellite with velocity\(\left\langle { - 2200,0,0} \right\rangle m/s.\)The space junk hits the edge of the satellite at location C as shown in Figure 11.97, and moves off with a new velocity\(\left\langle { - 1300,480,0} \right\rangle m/s.\)Both before and after the collision, the rotation of the space junk is negligible.
