1. The velocity of the spacecraft at position 2 is greater than the velocity of the craft at position 4.

This is due the gravity field of the Earth is used to accelerate the craft. This is true when in a specific point the direction of the movement of the craft is the same direction of the movement of the planet.

In this case the craft will be “catched” by the Earth’s gravitational field, making the craft  to enter a circular orbit.

2. At point 1, the direction of the spacecraft changes because of the gravitational force between earth and the spacecraft.

As explained in the first answer, this is the exact point where the trajectory of the spacecraft enters into a circular orbit because of the attraction due gravity of the Earth and therefore changes its direction.

3. Position 3 represents the orbital path of Earth

Being this the orbital path of the Earth and considering the trajectory of the craft, the condition of accelerating the craft is accomplished. If the orbital path of the Earth were the opposite, the effect on the craft would be braking.

Note all of these is related to the gravitational assistance, this consists in a maneuver in which the energy of the gravitational field of a planet or satellite is used to obtain an acceleration or braking of the probe or craft, changing its trajectory.

A truck traveling at a velocity of 33m/s comes to a halt by decelerating at 11m/s^2. How far does the truck travel in the proces
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

<u><em>The truck was moving 16.5 m/s during the time it took to stop, which was 3 seconds. </em></u>

  • <u><em>Initial velocity = 33 m/s</em></u>
  • <u><em>Final velocity = 0 m/s</em></u>
  • <u><em>Average velocity = (33 + 0) / 2  m/s = 16.5 m/s</em></u>

Explanation:

  1. <u><em>First, how long does it take the truck to come to a complete stop?</em></u>
  1. <u><em>( 33 m/s ) / ( 11 m / s^2 ) = 3 seconds</em></u>
  1. <u><em>Then we can look at the average velocity between when the truck started decelerating and when it came to a complete stop. Because the deceleration is constant (always 11m/s^2) we can use this trick.</em></u>
