A small space probe of mass 170 kg is launched from a spacecraft near Mars. It travels toward the surface of Mars, where it will

eventually land. At a time 22.9 seconds after it is launched, the probe is at location <5600, 7200, 0> m, and at this same instant its momentum is <51000, -7000, 0> kg·m/s. At this instant, the net force on the probe due to the gravitational pull of Mars plus the air resistance acting on the probe is <-4000, -780, 0> N.
Assuming that the net force on the probe is approximately constant during this time interval, what is the change of the momentum of the probe in the time interval from 22.6 seconds after the probe is launched to 22.9 seconds after the launch?

Answer:

The change  in momentum is  \Delta p =   kg \cdot m/s      

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

       The mass of the probe is  m = 170 kg

       The location of the prob at time t = 22.9 s is  A  =

       The  momentum at time  t = 22.9 s is  p = < 51000, -7000, 0> kg m/s

        The net force on the probe is  F =  N

Generally the change in momentum is mathematically represented as

              \Delta p = F * \Delta t

The initial time is   22.6 s

 The final time  is  22.9 s

             Substituting values  

           \Delta p =  * (22.9 - 22.6)

            \Delta p =  * (0.3)  

              \Delta p =   kg \cdot m/s

Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units and points in the positive x direction. A second vector, B , has a magnitude of 120 units a
Alex Ar [27]

A) Vector A

The x-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

v_x = v cos \theta

where

v is the magnitude of the vector

\theta is the angle between the x-axis and the direction of the vector

- Vector A has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so \theta_A = 0^{\circ}. So its x-component is

A_x = A cos \theta_A = (50) cos 0^{\circ}=50

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is \theta_B = -70^{\circ} (negative since it is below the x-axis), so the x-component is

B_x = B cos \theta_B = (120) cos (-70^{\circ})=41

So, vector A has the greater x component.

B) Vector B

Instead, the y-component of a vector can be found by using the formula

v_y = v sin \theta

Here we have

- Vector B has a magnitude of 50 units along the positive x-direction, so \theta_A = 0^{\circ}. So its y-component is

A_y = A sin \theta_A = (50) sin 0^{\circ}=0

- Vector B has a magnitude of 120 units and the direction is \theta_B = -70^{\circ}, so the y-component is

B_y = B sin \theta_B = (120) sin (-70^{\circ})=-112.7

where the negative sign means the direction is along negative y:

So, vector B has the greater y component.

A 0.40-kg mass attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle having a radius of 1.8 m. At an instant when the stri
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

T = 8.55 N

Explanation:

When string makes an angle 40 degree with the vertical then it will have two forces on it

1) gravitational force (mg)

2) Tension force in string (T)

now we know that net force towards the center of the path is known as centripetal force and it is given as

T - mg cos40 = F_c

T - (0.40\times 9.8)cos40 = \frac{mv^2}{L}

T = 3 + \frac{0.40\times 5^2}{1.8}

T = 3 + 5.55

T = 8.55 N

A sheet of gold foil has a volume of 0.750 cm3. If the foil measures 50.0cm by 10.0cm, what is the thickness of the foil?
vlada-n [284]

To calculate the thickness of foil, we use formula of volume as

V= l w t

Here, l is the length of the foil, w is the width of the foil and t is the thickness of the foil.

Given,  V = 0.750 \ cm^3, l = 50 cm and w = 10 \ cm.

Substituting theses values in above equation, we get

0.750 \ cm^3 = 50 cm \times 10 \ cm \times t \\\\ t =  0.0015 cm

Thus, the thickness of the foil is 0.0015 cm.
