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

A flatbed truck is carrying a 20.0 kg crate along a level road. the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the bed
Dahasolnce [82]
<span>3.92 m/s^2 Assuming that the local gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2, then the maximum acceleration that the truck can have is the coefficient of static friction multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration, so 0.4 * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3.92 m/s^2 If you want the more complicated answer, the normal force that the crate exerts is it's mass times the local gravitational acceleration, so 20.0 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 196 kg*m/s^2 = 196 N Multiply by the coefficient of static friction, giving 196 N * 0.4 = 78.4 N So we need to apply 78.4 N of force to start the crate moving. Let's divide by the crate's mass 78.4 N / 20.0 kg = 78.4 kg*m/s^2 / 20.0 kg = 3.92 m/s^2 And you get the same result.</span>

A parallel-plate air capacitor is made from two plates 0.210 m square, spaced 0.815 cm apart. it is connected to a 120 v battery
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

at the beginning: 2.3\cdot 10^{-10} F

when the plates are pulled apart: 1.1\cdot 10^{-10} F

Explanation:

The capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor is given by

C=k \epsilon_0 \frac{A}{d}

where

k is the relative permittivity of the medium (for air, k=1, so we can omit it)

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m is the permittivity of free space

A is the area of the plates of the capacitor

d is the separation between the plates

In this problem, we have:

A=0.210 m^2 is the area of the plates

d=0.815 cm=8.15\cdot 10^{-3} m is the separation between the plates at the beginning

Substituting into the formula, we find

C=(1)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m)\frac{0.210 m^2}{8.15\cdot 10^{-3} m}=2.3\cdot 10^{-10} F

Later, the plates are pulled apart to d=1.63 cm=0.0163 m, so the capacitance becomes

C=(1)(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}F/m)\frac{0.210 m^2}{0.0163 m}=1.1\cdot 10^{-10} F

Which observation would be evidence that heat was transferred by radiation
Masteriza [31]
Radiation is a type of heat transfer wherein there is no need for medium or media through which the heat will flow. Consequently, the radiation waves are able to travel through vacuum. The best observation as evidence to conclude that heat is indeed transferred by radiation is the increase of temperature of the receiving body.
