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

E=mc^2 n its given 1kg = 9x10^16J

so need to figure out the total mass loss n u can find the energy released

mass loss when 4x H atom combines to form 1x He atom in a fusion reaction is given as 4.59x10^-29kg

1 mole of He has 6.02x10^23 He atoms

so 2.7 moles of He has 2.7x6.02x10^23 He atoms

the total mass loss for 2.7 moles of He created in a fusion reaction

= 2.7x6.02x10^23 x 4.59x10^-29kg

= 7.46x10^-5kg

radiation energy released from this fusion reaction

= 7.46x10^-5 x 9x10^16J

= 6.7x10^12J

its 60 BILLION times more than burning carbon!!

Ad libitum [116K]

If this were to happen then the particle would be at the node (the point in the middle where the lines meet). Therefore, the particle will not move up or down because you can see the waves interfere destructively so there is no movement at the node.

answer. The particle will remain stationary due to interference.

Which one of the following temperatures is equal to 5°C?
natali 33 [55]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) 278 K

Explanation :

We are given temperature 5^oC.

Now the conversion factor used for the temperature is,

K=^oC+273

where, K is kelvin and ^oC is Celsius.

Now put the value of temperature, we get

K=5^oC+273=278K

Therefore, the temperature 278 K is equal to the 5^oC

The time taken for an object to fall from a height of h m from the earth'fs surface is t s.
telo118 [61]

Answer:

B. Longer than t s,

Explanation:

Gravitational accln on earth is 9.8 m/s^2,

and one you provided as on moon is 1.6 m/s^2

that mean on moon gr. accl. is lesser!

now the time taken on earth will be lesser cuz from the same height if you drop the object from rest!

since accln on earth is higher,the object will attain higher velocity as compare to that of on moon!

✌️:)
