A satellite in outer space is moving at a constant velocity of 20.5 m/s in the +y direction when one of its on board thruster tu

rns on, causing an acceleration of 0.310 m/s^2 in the +x direction. The acceleration lasts for 49.0 s, at which point the thruster turns off.
(a) What is the magnitude of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off?
(b) What is the direction of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off? Give your answer as an angle measured counterclockwise from the +x-axis.

Answer:

a)  V_f = 25.514 m/s

b)  Q =53.46 degrees CCW from + x-axis

Explanation:

Given:

- Initial speed V_i = 20.5 j m/s

- Acceleration a = 0.31 i m/s^2

- Time duration for acceleration t = 49.0 s

Find:

(a) What is the magnitude of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off?

(b) What is the direction of the satellite's velocity when the thruster turns off? Give your answer as an angle measured counterclockwise from the +x-axis.

Solution:

- We can apply the kinematic equation of motion for our problem assuming a constant acceleration as given:

                                   V_f = V_i + a*t

                                   V_f = 20.5 j + 0.31 i *49

                                   V_f = 20.5 j + 15.19 i

- The magnitude of the velocity vector is given by:

                                   V_f = sqrt ( 20.5^2 + 15.19^2)

                                   V_f = sqrt(650.9861)

                                  V_f = 25.514 m/s

- The direction of the velocity vector can be computed by using x and y components of velocity found above:

                                 tan(Q) = (V_y / V_x)

                                 Q = arctan (20.5 / 15.19)

                                 Q =53.46 degrees

- The velocity vector is at angle @ 53.46 degrees CCW from the positive x-axis.

3. What is the potential difference across a 1 500 12 resistor carrying a
gregori [183]

The potential difference across a 1500 ohm resistor carrying a current of 0.075 A is approx. equal to 113 V.

Explanation:

An ideal electrical circuit obeys Ohm's law. As per this law, the potential difference in any electrical circuit will be directly proportional to the current flowing in that circuit. And the proportionality constant is the resistance offered by the circuit.

V = I * R

As here, the current is said to be carried as 0.075 A and the resistance is 1500 ohm, then the potential difference will be

V = 0.075 * 1500 =112.5 = 113 V

Thus, the potential difference across a 1500 ohm resistor carrying a current of 0.075 A is approx. equal to 113 V.

One gram of salt in 100 liters of water could be considered a _______________________ solution.
cestrela7 [59]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Dilute solution

One gram of salt in 100 liters of water could be considered a <em><u>dilute solution</u></em>.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>A solution is a mixture that is composed of two or more substances. It is formed when one substance (solute) dissolves on another called solvent. </u></em>
  • Solutions are homogeneous mixtures as the substances in it are always in the same phase. <em><u>A solution may be concentrated or dilute depending on the amount of solute or solvent in the solution.</u></em>
  • <u>A dilute solution has more solvent that solute while a concentrated solution has more solute than the solvent. In this case, </u><em><u>a solution containing 1 g of slat which is the solute in a 100 liters of water is an example of dilute solution.</u></em>

EASY BRAINLIEST PLEASE HELP!!
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Solution given:

frequency[f]=x

velocity[V]=15000m/s

wave length=59m

we have

wave length=\frac{V}{f}

59m=\frac{15000}{x}

x=\frac{15000}{59}=254.Hz

frequency=254Hz

In case of collision of objects in two dimensions which statement is true after the collision?
Grace [21]

The correct answer to the question is : C) The horizontal momentum and the vertical momentum are both conserved. 

EXPLANATION :

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand the law of conservation of momentum.

As per the law of conservation of momentum, the total linear as well as angular momentum of an isolated system is always conserved . The law of conservation of energy is a universal fact.

Hence, during any type of collision, the total momentum is always conserved.

Hence, the total horizontal momentum as well as total vertical momentum are always conserved during both elastic as well as inelastic collision.
