Small robots that can move around on the surface of a planet are called space shuttles.

1 answer:

5 0

No. "Shuttle" has been pretty much used to indicate shuttling
between Earth and Earth-orbit.

The devices that have tooled around on the surface of Mars
have been referred to as "rovers". That was also the nickname
of the buggy on which the Apollo astronauts moved around on
the Moon in the early 1970s ... the "lunar rover".

A racquetball strikes a wall with a speed of 30 m/s and rebounds in the opposite direction with a speed of 26 m/s. The collision

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the ball during the collision with the wall is $a=2,800m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Known Data

We will asume initial speed has a negative direction, $v_{i}=-30m/s$ , final speed has a positive direction, $v_{f}=26m/s$ , $\Delta t=20ms=0.020s$ and mass $m_{b}$ .

Initial momentum

$p_{i}=mv_{i}=(-30m/s)(m_{b})=-30m_{b}\ m/s$

final momentum

$p_{f}=mv_{f}=(26m/s)(m_{b})=26m_{b}\ m/s$

Impulse

$I=\Delta p=p_{f}-p_{i}=26m_{b}\ m/s-(-30m_{b}\ m/s)=56m_{b}\ m/s$

Average Force

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} =\frac{56m_{b}\ m/s}{0.020s} =2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}$

Average acceleration

$F=ma$ , so $a=\frac{F}{m_{b}}$ .

Therefore, $a=\frac{2800m_{b} \ m/s^{2}}{m_{b}} =2800m/s^{2}$

A satellite’s velocity is 30000m/s. After 60 secs, it’s velocity shows to 15000m/a. What is the satellite’s acceleration?

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Acceleration = 9 × 10^5 m/s^2 ( deceleration )

Explanation:

From the first equation of motion:

V = u + at

15000 = 30000 + 60a

a = ( 15000-30000)/60

a = 9 × 10^5 m/s^2

If the same fish is attached to the end of the unstretched spring and then allowed to fall from rest, through what maximum dista

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

x=2d

Explanation:

initial stretch in the spring is d

so using Hook's law

at equilibrium position

k×d=mg

where k= spring constant

m= mass of fish

g= acceleration due to gravity.

d=mg/k ................ (1)

in second case by energy conservation

1/2 kx^2=mgx

x=2mg/k

using equation 1

x=2d

A balloon full of air has more _____ than the same balloon with no air in it. A. mass (only) B. inertia (only) C. weight (only)

valina [46]

Answer:

A. Mass(only)

Explanation:

The correct answer is A because if the balloon is filled with air, it's filled with matter. Matter is anything that has space and occupies mass. The air occupies mass in the balloon but that doesn't mean that the balloon is heavier. People confuse themselves with mass and weight saying it means the same thing. Mass, like I said is the amount of matter an object contains whereas weight is how much an object weighs.

Speed is velocity in a given direction O True O False

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Velocity = speed with direction.

Think of speed and direction like rockets and missiles. Rockets are not smart. Missiles are smart. Rockets go in one direction. Missiles can track their targets, they have a specific destination, a specific direction.

Velocity is often used in physics, because its almost useless to know how fast an object is going if you don't know which direction it is going.

Think of it like this. If the Weather man told you a hurricane was traveling at 30 miles an hour, but didn't tell you which direction it was going, you would have no idea where to run, or if it was going to hit you at all. However, if he told you it was going 30 miles an hour to the North, and you were West of it, you would be fine, and wouldn't have to worry.
