The magnitude of the acceleration that the engine must produce is  0.065 m/s².

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

Acceleration is given by the ratio of Resultant or total force acting on any object and the its mass.

It can also be defined as the rate change of velocity with time.

acceleration a = (Δv) / (Δt)

Given is a lunar probe is moving 1670 m/s at a 73° angle. it needs to land on the moon  3.71 x 10⁸ m away in a 46° direction in 8.64 x 10⁴ s.

The initial velocity will be

1670 x cos (73°-46°) = 1487.981 m/s

Using the second equation of motion, we have

s = ut + 1/2 at²

The final velocity will be zero after landing on Moon.

Substituting the values, we have

3.71 x 10⁸=  1487.981 x  8.64 x 10⁴ + 1/2 a ( 8.64 x 10⁴)²

Solving the equation, we get

acceleration, a = 0.065 m/s²

Thus, the magnitude of the acceleration that the engine must produce is   0.065 m/s²

An object accelerating at 16 m/s/s doubles its mass and triples its net force acting on it. What will the new acceleration be? (
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

24 m/s²

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial acceleration of the object, a = 16 m/s²

Let 'm' represent the initial mass of the object

The initial force acting on the object, F = m × a

∴ F = 16 × m = 16·m

When the mass is doubled, we have;

The new mass of the object, m₂ = 2 × m = 2·m

When the net force acting on the object triples, we have;

The new net force acting on the object, F₂ = 3 × F = 3 × 16·m = 48·m

From F = m × a, we have;

a = F/m

∴ The new acceleration of the object, a₂ = F₂/m₂

From which, by plugging in the values, we have;

a₂ = 48·m/(2·m) = 24

The new acceleration of the object, a₂ = 24 m/s².

Yanka [14]
Formed from an object blocking the light to a certain area.

Is not always the same size or shape, it varies depending on the position of the light.

You can have more than one shadow of you have more than one light source.
