A 8.34 × 103-kg lunar landing craft is about to touch down on the surface of the moon, where the acceleration due to gravity is

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

21870.3156 N

Explanation:

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 1.6 m/s²

Equation of motion

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{0^2-18.2^2}{2\times 162}\\\Rightarrow a=-1.02234\ m/s^2$

The acceleration of the craft should be 1.02234 m/s²

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=8.34\times 10^3\times 1.02234\\\Rightarrow F=8526.3156\ N$

Weight of the craft

$W=mg\\\Rightarrow W=8.34\times 10^3\times 1.6\\\Rightarrow W=13344\ N$

Thrust

$F_t=F+W\\\Rightarrow F_t=8526.3156+13344\\\Rightarrow F_t=21870.3156\ N$

The thrust needed to reduce the velocity to zero at the instant when the craft touches the lunar surface is 21870.3156 N

One gram of Uranium averages release 1.01 KJ (10^7) of energy. How much mass could be converted to energy to release this much e

frutty [35]

Answer:

The amount of mass that needs to be converted to release that amount of energy is $1.122 X 10^{-7} kg$

Explanation:

From Albert Einstein's Energy equation, we can understand that mass can get converted to energy, using the formula

$E= \Delta mc^{2}$

where $\Delta m$ = change in mass

c = speed of light = $3 \times 10 ^{8}m/s$

Making m the subject of the formula, we can find the change in mass to be

$\Delta m = \frac{E}{c^{2}}= \frac{1.01 \times 10^{3} \times 10^{7}}{(3 \times 10^{8})^{2}}= 1.122 \times 10 ^{-7}kg$

There fore, the amount of mass that needs to be converted to release that amount of energy is 1.122 X 10 ^-7 kg

One drawback of dams is that they can flood land upstream from the dam and reduce water flow downstream from the dam. Question 2

vivado [14]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

It can cause flooding and destruction of habitat because of dammed rivers create large reservoirs upstream which can spill out to the surrounding during heavy rainfall causing flooding and destruction of natural habitat.
