A spaceship, at rest in some inertial frame in space, suddenly needs to accelerate. The ship forcibly expels 103 kg of fuel from

its rocket engine, almost instantaneously, at velocity (3IS)c in the original inertial frame; afterwards the ship has a mass of 106 kg. How fast will the ship then be moving, valid to three significant figures?

Answer:

V_s = 1.8*10^5m/s

Explanation:

There is no external force applied, therefore there is a moment's preservation throughout the trajectory.

<em>Initial momentum  = Final momentum. </em>

The total mass is equal to

m_T= m_1 +m_2

Where,

m_1 = mass of ship

m_2 = mass of fuell expeled.

As the moment is conserved we have,

0=V_fm_2+V_sm_1

Where,

V_f = Velocity of fuel

V_s =Velocity of Space Ship

Solving and re-arrange to V_swe have,

V_s = \frac{V_f m_2 }{m_1}

V_s = \frac{3/5c}{10^6}

V_s = 3.5*10^{-3}c

Where c is the speed of light.

Therefore the ship be moving with speed

V_s = \frac{3}{5}*10^{-3}*3*10^8m/s

V_s = 1.8*10^5m/s

A helicopter flying at a distance of 20.0 km from a radio transmitter receives a signal of intensity 35.1 μW/m2.
irinina [24]

Answer:

a) 0.162 V/m

b) 0.54 nT

c) 22 kW

Explanation:

Given

Distance of flight, d = 20 km

Intensity of signal, I = 35.1 μW/m²

Magnitude of the electric component is gotten using the formula

E(m) = √(2Iμc), where

E(m) = √(2 * 35*10^-6 * 4*3.142*10^-7 * 3*10^8)

E(m) = √(2 * 35*10^-6 * 1.257*10^-6 * 3*10^8)

E(m) = √0.0264

E(m) = 0.162 V/m

Magnitude of magnetic component can be gotten by using the relation

B(m) = E(m) / c

B(m) = 0.162 / 3*10^8

B(m) = 5.4*10^-10

B(m) = 0.54 nT

Transmission power, P = IA

where A = 1/2 * 4πr²

P = 2Iπr²

P = 2 * 35*10^-6 * 3.142 * (10000)²

P = 2 * 35*10^-6 * 3.142 * 1*10^8

P = 21994 W

Thus, the transmission power is 22 kW

Which scientific theory explains that the universe originated from a small, country densely packed space?
andrey2020 [161]
<h2>Answer: The Big Bang theory</h2>

Explanation:

The Big Bang theory explains that billions of years ago, before the current universe was born, matter was concentrated in an infinitely small and highly dense point. Then, a large explosion caused this matter to expand in all directions, creating the universe we now know (including space and time).

In addition, this theory explains that our universe still continues its expansion process.

Research indicates that an all have the same capacity for language as humans. true or false
Svetradugi [14.3K]

false (if your talking about animals) animals cannot form letters. Animals cant do this because they dont have voice boxes capable pf creating a word, thats why animals chirp, yip, bark, cry, and chitter.
