Nasa has developed deep-space 1 (ds-1), a spacecraft that is scheduled to rendezvous with the asteroid named 1992 kd (which orbi

ts the sun millions of miles from the earth). the propulsion system of ds-1 works by ejecting high-speed argon ions out the rear of the engine. the engine slowly increases the velocity of ds-1 by about +9.23 m/s per day. (a) how many days will it take to increase the velocity of ds-1 by +3440 m/s? (b) what is the acceleration of ds-1?

I can't give an exact number if the original velocity of ds-1 is not given. In that case, the final answer should just be in terms of an equation. Let's denote the original velocity to be v₀ and the days to be d.

Part a.)
v = v₀ + 9.23d
3440 = v₀ + 9.23d
9.23d = 3,440 - v₀
d = (3,440 - v₀)/9.23

Part b.)

The acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time. So, that would be 9.23 m/s per day. Since there are 86,400 s in a day:

a = 9.23 m/s / day * 1 day/ 86,400 s
a = 0.0001068 m/s²

Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

3) Dims in, Brightens out

Explanation:

The relationship between the inductance of a coil and the current is inverse.

As the rod is thrusted into the solenoid, the inductance increases, which in turn decreases the current and the bulb gets dimmer. This is also because some magnetic force is drawn away from the solenoid and the battery.

When the rod is removed, the inductance of the solenoid decreases, the current increases, and the bulb becomes brighter.

Consider two diffraction gratings. One grating has 3000 lines per cm, and the other one has 6000 lines per cm. Both gratings are
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

<em>The 6000 lines per cm grating, will produces the greater dispersion .</em>

Explanation:

A diffraction grating is an optical component with a periodic (usually one  that has ridges or rulings on their surface rather than dark lines) structure that splits and diffracts light into several beams travelling in different directions.

The directions of the light beam produced from a diffraction grating depend on the spacing of the grating, and also on the wavelength of the light.

For a plane diffraction grating, the angular positions of principle maxima is given by

(a + b) sin ∅n = nλ

where

a+b is the distance between two consecutive slits

n is the order of principal maxima

λ is the wavelength of the light

From the equation, we can see that without sin ∅ exceeding 1, increasing the number of lines per cm will lead to a decrease between the spacing between consecutive slits.

In this case, light of the same wavelength is used. If λ and n is held constant, then we'll see that reducing the distance between two consecutive slits (a + b) will lead to an increase in the angle of dispersion sin ∅. So long as the limit of sin ∅ not greater that one is maintained.
