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.

A lamp hangs from the ceiling at a height of 2.6 m. The lamp has a mass of 3.8 kg. The screws holding the lamp break, and it fal
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given height of lamp from the ceiling = 2.6m

mass of the lamp = 3.8kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

As the body falls to the ground, it falls under the influence of gravity.

Gravitational potential energy = mass*acc due to gravity * height

Gravitational potential energy  = 3.8*2.6*9.81

Gravitational potential energy  = 96.923 Joules

b) Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

m = mass of the body (in kg)

v = velocity of the body (in m/s²)

To get the velocity v, we will use the equation of motion v^{2} = u^{2}+2gh

v^{2} = 0^{2}+2(9.81)(2.6) \\v^{2} = 51.012\\v =\sqrt{51.012}\\ v = 7.14m/s

Since mass = 3.8kg

K.E =  1/2 * 3.8 *7.14^{2}\\ K.E = 96.86Joules

c) To know how fast the lamp is moving when it hits the ground, we will use the formula. When the body hits the ground, the height covered will be 0m. this means that the body is not moving once it hits the ground. It stays in one position. The energy possessed by the body at this point is potential energy. The correct answer is therefore 0 m/s

MrMuchimi

Answer:

<em>W=700 Joule</em>

Explanation:

<u>Physics Work </u>

Is the dot product of the force vector by the displacement vector

W=\vec F \cdot \vec r

When both the force and the displacements are pointed in the same direction, the formula reduces to its scalar version

W=F.d

The weightlifter is applying a net force of 350 N to lift the weights a distance of 2 m, thus the net work done is

W=350\ N\ .\ 2\ m=700\ Joule
