Answer:
a) v = 19,149.6 m/s
b) f = 95%
c) t = 346.5min
Explanation:
First put all values in metric units:
The equation of motion you need is:
where is the final velocity, a is acceleration and t is time in hours.
Since the spaceship starts from 0 velocity:
Next, you need to calculate the distances traveled on each interval, considering that both starting and final intervals travel the same distance because the acceleration and time are equal. For this part you need the next motion equation:
solving for first and last interval:
Since the spaceship starts and finish with 0 velocity:
Then the ship traveled at constant speed, which means that it traveled:
Which in percentage is 95% of the trip.
to calculate total time you need to calculate the time used during constant speed:
That added to the other interval times:
Answer:
The magnitude of the resultant displacement is 21 mi and its direction is 16.7° north of west
Explanation:
Hi there!
Please see the figure for a better understanding of the problem. The total displacement vector will be the sum of both displacements:
The vector for the first displacement is:
First displacement = (20 mi, 0)
The second displacement:
Second displacement = (0, 6.0 mi)
The resultant displacement will be:
R = (20 mi, 0) + (0, 6.0 mi) = (20 mi + 0, 0 + 6.0 mi) = (20 mi, 6.0 mi)
The magnitude of this vector will be:
The magnitude of the vector displacement is 21 mi.
To find the direction of the vector R, we have to apply trigonometry:
In a right triangle the following trigonometric rule applies:
cos θ = adjacent side to the angle/ hypotenuse
In this case:
cos θ = 20 mi / magnitude of R
θ = 16.7°
The direction of the vector is 16.7° north of west.
