[9.6/16 Points] DETAILS MY NOTES OSUNIPHYS1 13.P.070. PREVIOUS ANSWERS ASK YOUR TEACHER PRACTICE ANOTHER Space debris left from old satellites and their launchers is becoming a hazard to other satellites. (a) Calculate the speed in m/s of a satellite in an orbit 750 km above the Earth's surface. 7486 m/s (b) Suppose a loose rivet is in an orbit of the same radius that intersects the satellite's orbit at an angle of 90 relative to Earth. What is the velocity in m/s of the rivet relative to the satellite just before striking it? (Enter the magnitude.) 10580.29 m/s (c) Given the rivet is 4.00 mm in size, how long in seconds will its collision with the satellite last? (Assume the rivet is flattened like a pancake on the surface of the satellite during the collision.) 3.78e-7 X S (d) If its mass is 0.750 g, what is the average force in newtons it exerts on the satellite? (Enter the magnitude.) 21000000 X N (e) How much energy in joules is generated by the collision? (The satellite's velocity does not change appreciably, because its mass is much greater than the rivet's.) 41978.44 Additional Materials Reading
