how many years would it take to reach the star from earth, as measured by observers on the spacecraft

In other words, it would take Deep Space 1 more than 81,000 years to travel the 4.24 light-years between Earth and Proxima Centauri at its top speed of 56,000 km/h. In relation to human history, that would be more than 2,700 generations.

Nearly 40 trillion kilometers, or 4.4 light-years, separate us from Alpha Centauri. The NASA-Germany Helios probes, the fastest spacecraft to date to be launched into orbit, flew at a speed of 250,000 kilometers per hour. The probes would need 18,000 years to travel at such pace to arrive at the sun's nearest neighbor. The calculations reveal that it is almost impossible to reach the nearest star in a human lifetime, even with the most futuristic technologies.

A jet aircraft is traveling at 262 m/s in hor-
NeTakaya

Solution :

Speed of the air craft, $S_a$ = 262 m/s

Fuel burns at the rate of, $S_b$ = 3.92 kg/s

Rate at which the engine takes in air, $S_{air}$ = 85.9 kg/s

Speed of the exhaust gas that are ejected relative to the aircraft, $S_{exh}$ =921 m/s

Therefore, the upward thrust of the jet engine is given by

$F=S_{air}(S_{exh}-S_a)+(S_b \times S_{exh})$

F = 85.9(921 - 262) + (3.92 x 921)

   = 4862635.79 + 3610.32

   = $4.8 \times 10^6 \ N$

Therefore thrust of the jet engine is $4.8 \times 10^6 \ N$.

Calculate the induced electric field (in V/m) in a 40-turn coil with a diameter of 11 cm that is placed in a spatially uniform m
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turn N = 40

Diameter of the coil d= 11cm = 0.11m

Then, radius = d/2 = 0.11/2 =0.055m

r = 0.055m

Then, the area is given as

A =πr²

A = π × 0.055²

A = 9.503 × 10^-3 m²

Magnetic Field B = 0.35T

Magnetic field reduce to zero in 0.1s, t = 0.1s

so we want to find induce electric field. To find the electric field,(E) we need to find the electric potential (V).

E.M.F is given as

ε = —N • dΦ/dt

Where magnetic flux is given as

Φ = BA

Then, ε = —N • dΦ/dt

ε = —N • dBA/dt

ε = —NBA/t

Then, its magnitude is

ε = NBA/t

Inserting the values of N, B, A and t

ε = 40×0.35×9.503×10^-3/0.1

ε = 1.33 V

Then, using the relationship between Electric field and electric potential

V = Ed

ε = E•d

E = ε/d

E = 1.33/0.11

E = 12.09 V/m

Conservation of Momentum<br> No one likes you little trolls please send an actual answer
Olin [163]

Hello!

This is an example of an inelastic collision, where the two objects "stick" to each other after their collision. (The Goalkeeper CATCHES the puck).

We can write out the conservation of momentum formula:

m1vi + m2vi = m1vf + m2vf

Let:

m1 = mass of puck

m2 = mass of the goalkeeper

We know that the initial velocity of the goalkeeper is 0, so:

m1vi + m2(0) = m1vf + m2vf

m1vi = m1vf + m2vf

The final velocities will be the same, so:

m1vi = (m1 + m2)vf

Plug in the given values:

(0.16)(40)/ (0.16 + 120) = vf ≈ 0.0533 m/s

Using the equation for momentum:

p = mv

The object with the LARGER mass will have the greater momentum. Thus, the Goalkeeper has the largest momentum as p = mv; a greater mass correlates to a greater momentum since the velocity is the same between the two objects. The puck would have a momentum of p = (.16)(0.0533) = 0.008528 kgm/s, whereas the goalkeeper would have a momentum of

p =  (120)(0.0533) = 6.396 kgm/s.

Why does the ball orbit the Earth when launched from the theoretical cannon of Newton?
Lyrx [107]

The ball orbit the Earth, when launched from the theoretical cannon of Newton, is option B. it is magnetically attracted.

<h3>Newton's Cannonball:</h3>

Newton's cannonball was a hypothetical situation. Isaac Newton once proposed that gravity, which he believed to be a universal force, was the primary factor behind the planetary motion. In this experiment, Newton imagines projecting a stone or a cannonball onto the summit of a very tall mountain. The body should move away from Earth in the direction it was projected if there were no effects from gravity or air resistance.

Depending on the projectile's initial velocity and the gravitational force acting on it, the bullet will travel in a different direction. Low speeds result in a simple fallback to Earth. The Earth's surface causes the cannonball to deviate from its elliptical route.
