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

Answer:

(a)There are no magnetic monopoles. true

(c) There must be a vector potential. true

(d) Charges create electric fields.2. true

Explanation:

a) there are no magnetic monopoles because magnetic field is created by charges (electrons) and these electrons have dipole field so it is not possible to have magnetic dipoles, more ever Gauss's law always explained that there are not magnetic dipoles. furthermore magnetic monopoles aree caused by magnetic charges and we have electric charges.

c)vector potential is a vector field which serves as a potential for magnetic field so, the magnetic field B by Faraday and Gauss's law is also known as vector potential.

d) electric field is solely generated by charges be it static charges or moving charges if there are no charges it is not possible to have an electric field.
