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

If the magnitude of F1 is greater than the magnitude of F2, then the box is
Lady bird [3.3K]

Assuming that the vectors are acting along the same axis, we could just simply add or subtract the vectors. Since the F1 is greater than F2, there would be motion, there would be acceleration, and that the direction of motion is along the F1.

Can something have energy without having momentum? explain. can something have momentum without having energy? defend your answe
marta [7]
Momentum  is a product mass and velocity. If a certain object posses a kinetic energy, then it should have a momentum since it is moving which has a velocity. However, if the object is at rest and only has potential energy, then it would not have momentum. So, for the first question the answer would be yes, an object can have energy without having any momentum. For the second question, every object whether it is moving or at rest, possess some energy, potential for an object at rest and kinetic for an object that is moving. Thus, the answer would be no, an object having momentum would always have energy.

PLEASE HELP ANSWER FAST As the vibration of molecules decreases, the _____ of the substance decreases. 1.temperature 2.internal
Aleksandr [31]
I think 1 and 3 is absolutely right but im not sure about number 2.
I think the answer is 4 all of the above because as the vibration decrease automatically the kinetic energy decrease and the temperature is decrease because when the vibration of molecules decrease thats mean the substances is slightly become a solid and you can get a solid cube of liquid if you freeze them
