When a Lunar Module landed on the Moon, it used thrusters to slow its descent to the surface. When other spacecraft are returned

to Earth, they use parachutes to slow their descent. Why wouldn't a parachute be useful on the Moon?

A parachute is a device designed to generate a LOT of air resistance.
Parachutes do that very well in places where there's any air to work with.
There is no air on the Moon.

If the velocity of a pitched ball has a magnitude of 44.5 m/s and the batted ball's velocity is 55.5 m/s in the opposite directi
Lelu [443]

Answer:

ΔP = 14.5 Ns

I = 14.5 Ns

ΔF = 5.8 x 10³ N = 5.8 KN

Explanation:

The mass of the ball is given as 0.145 kg in the complete question. So, the change in momentum will be:

ΔP = mv₂ - mv₁

ΔP = m(v₂ - v₁)

where,

ΔP = Change in Momentum = ?

m = mass of ball = 0.145 kg

v₂ = velocity of batted ball = 55.5 m/s

v₁ = velocity of pitched ball = - 44.5 m/s (due to opposite direction)

Therefore,

ΔP = (0.145 kg)(55.5 m/s + 44.5 m/s)

<u>ΔP = 14.5 Ns</u>

The impulse applied to a body is equal to the change in its momentum. Therefore,

Impulse = I = ΔP

<u>I = 14.5 Ns</u>

the average force can be found as:

I = ΔF*t

ΔF = I/t

where,

ΔF = Average Force = ?

t = time of contact = 2.5 ms = 2.5 x 10⁻³ s

Therefore,

ΔF = 14.5 N.s/(2.5 x 10⁻³ s)

<u>ΔF = 5.8 x 10³ N = 5.8 KN</u>

At sunset, red light travels horizontally through the doorway in the western wall of your beach cabin, and you observe the light
Nady [450]

Answer:

9.8\cdot 10^{-6}m

Explanation:

For light passing through a single slit, the position of the nth-minimum from the central bright fringe in the diffraction pattern is given by

y=\frac{n \lambda D}{d}

where

\lambda is the wavelength

D is the distance of the screen from the slit

d is the width of the slit

In this problem, we have

\lambda=700 nm = 7.00\cdot 10^{-7}m is the wavelength of the red light

D = 14 m is the distance of the screen from the doorway

d = 1.0 m is the width of the doorway

Substituting n=1 into the equation, we find the distance between the central bright fringe and the first-order dark fringe (the first minimum):

y=\frac{(1)(7.00\cdot 10^{-7} m)(14 m)}{1.0 m}=9.8\cdot 10^{-6}m
