12. Unmanned Space Probe A 2500 kg unmanned space probe is moving in a straight line at a constant speed of 300 m/s. Control roc

k- ets on the space probe execute a burn in which a thrust of 3000 N acts for 65.0 s. (a) What is the change in the magnitude of the probe’s translational momentum if the thrust is backward, forward, or di- rectly sideways? (b) What is the change in kinetic energy under the same three conditions? Assume that the mass of the ejected burn products is negligible compared to the mass of the space probe.

Answer:

a) Backward - \Delta p = - 195000\,kg\cdot \frac{m}{s}, Forward - \Delta p = + 195000\,kg\cdot \frac{m}{s}, Directly sideways - \Delta p = \pm 195000\,kg\cdot \frac{m}{s}, b) Backward - \Delta K = -50895000\,J, Forward - \Delta K = + 66105000\,J, Directly sideways - \Delta K = + 7605000\,J.

Explanation:

a) All scenarios are analyzed by means of the Principle of Momentum Conservation and the Impact Theorem.

Case I - Backward

\Delta p = -(3000\,N)\cdot (65.0\,s)

\Delta p = - 195000\,kg\cdot \frac{m}{s}

Case II - Forward

\Delta p = +(3000\,N)\cdot (65.0\,s)

\Delta p = + 195000\,kg\cdot \frac{m}{s}

Case III - Directly sideways

\vec p _{2}-\vec p_{1} = 0\,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}\cdot i \pm 195000\, \,\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}\cdot j

The magnitude of the change of the probe's translational momentum is:

\Delta p = \pm 195000\,kg\cdot \frac{m}{s}

b) The change in kinetic energy is given by the Work-Energy Theorem:

Case I - Backward

The final speed of the probe is:

v= 300\,\frac{m}{s}-\left(\frac{3000\,N}{2500\,kg}\right)\cdot (65\,s)

v = 222\,\frac{m}{s}

The change in kinetic energy is:

\Delta K = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (2500\,kg)\cdot \left[(222\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(300\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2} \right]

\Delta K = -50895000\,J

Case II - Forward

The final speed of the probe is:

v= 300\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(\frac{3000\,N}{2500\,kg}\right)\cdot (65\,s)

v = 378\,\frac{m}{s}

The change in kinetic energy is:

\Delta K = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (2500\,kg)\cdot \left[(378\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(300\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2} \right]

\Delta K = + 66105000\,J

Case III - Directly sideways

The final speed of the probe in the direction perpendicular to the motion line is:

v= 0\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(\frac{3000\,N}{2500\,kg}\right)\cdot (65\,s)

v = 78\,\frac{m}{s}

The change in kinetic energy is:

\Delta K = \frac{1}{2} \cdot (2500\,kg)\cdot \left[(300\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2} + (78\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2} -(300\,\frac{m}{s} )^{2} \right]

\Delta K = + 7605000\,J

The 1994 Winter Olympics included the aerials competition in skiing. In this event skiers speed down a ramp that slopes sharply
kykrilka [37]

Answer: Got It!

<em>Explanation:  </em>let s = speed at launch

v = 0 at top = s sin 63 - g t

so at top

t = s sin 63/g = .0909 s

h = 13.6 = s sin 63 t - 4.9 t^2

13.6 = .081s^2 - .0405 s^2

s^2 = 336

s = 18.3 m/s

denpristay [2]

Answer:0.669

Explanation:

Given

mass of clock 93 kg

Initial force required to move it 610 N

After clock sets in motion it requires a force of 514 N to keep moving it with a constant velocity

Initially static friction is acting which is more than kinetic friction

thus 613 force is required to overcome static friction

\mu _smg=610

\mu _s\times 93\times 9.8=610

\mu _s=0.669

A student used a yardstick to model the displacement of rock at a fault during an earthquake. The student bent the yardstick wit
jonny [76]
I think the correct answer would be B. The process of elastic rebound is being shown by the student. It is a theory that is used to explain earthquakes. It focuses on how energy is being spread in times of earthquakes. As the rocks on the fault experiences shift and force, these rocks would be accumulating energy causing it to deform reaching the internal strength and eventually exceeding it. At that moment, a rapid motion would happen along the fault, which releases the energy, then the rocks would go back to its original shape or the undeformed state. This theory is the first theory that sufficiently was able to explain earthquakes.
