Explanation:
Formula to represent thrust is as follows.
F = 
= 
or, p = 
F = 
= 
= 201.67 N
Thus, we can conclude that the thrust is 201.67 N.
When a mirror is rotated . . .
-- The incident ray doesn't turn. It's just the line from the source to the mirror.
It would be there, in the same place, even if there was no mirror.
-- The normal turns. It's the line perpendicular to the mirror, so it must turn
with the mirror.
-- Since the normal tuns and the incident ray doesn't, the angle between them
must change. And since the angle of the reflected ray is equal to the angle of
the incident ray, the reflected ray must also turn.
Given:
u = 0, initial speed (sprinter starts from rest)
v = 11.5 m/s, final speed
s = 15 m, distance traveled to attain final speed.
Let
a = average acceleration,
t = time taken to attain final speed.
Then
v² = u² + 2as
or
(11.5 m/s)² = 2*(a m/s²)*(15 m)
a = 11.5²/(2*15) = 4.408 m/s²
Also
v = u +a t
or
(11.5 m/s) = (4.408 m/s²)*(t s)
t = 11.5/4.408 = 2.609 s
Answer:
The average acceleration is 4.41 m/s² (nearest hundredth).
The time required is 2.61 s (nearest hundredth).
For astronomical objects, the time period can be calculated using:
T² = (4π²a³)/GM
where T is time in Earth years, a is distance in Astronomical units, M is solar mass (1 for the sun)
Thus,
T² = a³
a = ∛(29.46²)
a = 0.67 AU
1 AU = 1.496 × 10⁸ Km
0.67 * 1.496 × 10⁸ Km
= 1.43 × 10⁹ Km
