In july 2005, nasa’s "deep impact" mission crashed a 372-kg probe directly onto the surface of the comet tempel 1, hitting the surface at 37,000 km/h. the original speed of the comet at that time was about 40,000 km/h, and its mass was estimated to be in the range (0.10−2.5)×1014kg. use the smallest value of the estimated mass.
(a) what change in the comet’s velocity did this collision produce? would this change be noticeable?
(b) suppose this comet were to hit the earth and fuse with it. by how much would it change our planet’s velocity? would this change be noticeable? (the mass of the earth is 5.97×1024kg.)

The frequency of vibrations of a vibrating violin string is given by f = 1 2l t ρ where l is the length of the string, t is its tension, and ρ is its linear density.† (a) find the rate of change of the frequency with respect to the following. (i) the length (when t and ρ are constant) (ii) the tension (when l and ρ are constant) (iii) the linear density (when l and t are constant) (b) the pitch of a note (how high or low the note sounds) is determined by the frequency f. (the higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.) use the signs of the derivatives in part (a) to determine what happens to the pitch of a note for the following. (i) when the effective length of a string is decreased by placing a finger on the string so a shorter portion of the string vibrates df dl 0 and l is ⇒ f is ⇒ (ii) when the tension is increased by turning a tuning peg df dt 0 and t is ⇒ f is ⇒ (iii) when the linear density is increased by switching to another string df dρ 0 and ρ is ⇒ f is ⇒
