The force generated in 1 second of impact is, F = 201161.37 N

The ship slightly slows down and moves forward with velocity V = 9.9 x 10¹⁰ kg miles/hr

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the ship, M = 100 ton

= 100,000 kg

The velocity of the ship, V = 1,000,000 miles/hr

The mass of the iron piece, m = 1 lb

= 0.45 kg

The velocity of the iron piece, v = 0

The momentum of the ship,

P = MV

= 100,000 kg x 1,000,000 miles/ hr

= 1 x 10¹¹ kg miles/ hr

The momentum of the iron piece, p = 0

According to the conservation of momentum,

MV + mv = U(M + m)

$U=\frac{MV+mv}{M+m}$

$U=\frac{1\times 10^{11} +0}{100000+0.45}$

U = 999,995.5 miles/hr

Therefore the momentum of the ship after impact,

P₁ = MU

= 100,000 kg x 999,995.5 miles/hr

= 9.9 x 10¹⁰ kg miles/hr

Therefore, the change in the momentum of the ship,

ΔP = P - P₁

= 1 x 10¹¹ - 9.9 x 10¹⁰

= 449997.98 kg miles/hr

= 201161.37 kg m/s

Let the time period of impact be 1 s

Therefore, the force exerted by the ship on the iron is,

F = ΔP / t

= 201161.37 / 1

= 201161.37 N

Hence, the force generated in 1 second of impact is, F = 201161.37 N

The ship slightly slows down and moves forward with velocity V = 9.9 x 10¹⁰ kg miles/hr

The ultracentrifuge is an important tool for separating and analyzing proteins. because of the enormous centripetal accelerations, the centrifuge must be carefully balanced, with each sample matched by a sample of identical mass on the opposite side. any difference in the masses of opposing samples creates a net force on the shaft of the rotor, potentially leading to a catastrophic failure of the apparatus. suppose a scientist makes a slight error in sample preparation and one sample has a mass 10 mg larger than the opposing sample. if the samples are 12 cm from the axis of the rotor and the ultracentrifuge spins at 70,000 rpm, what is the magnitude of the net force on the rotor due to the unbalanced samples? ( be thorough on your answer)
