The space shuttle fleet was designed with two booster stages. If the second stage provides a thrust of 73 ​kilo-newtons and the

space shuttle has an acceleration of 16,000 miles per hour squared ​, what is the mass of the spacecraft in units of​ pounds-mass ​?

Answer:

m = 81281.5 pounds.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force, F = 73 kN

Acceleration of the space shuttle, a = 16000 mi/h²

1 miles/h² = 0.0001241 m/s2

16000 mi/h² = 1.98 m/s²

We need to find the mass of the spacecraft.

According to Newton's second law,

F = ma

m is mass of the spacecraft

m=\dfrac{F}{a}\\\\m=\dfrac{73\times 10^3\ N}{1.98\ m/s^2}\\\\m=36868.68\ kg

Since, 1 kg = 2.20462 pounds

m = 81281.5 pounds

Hence, the mass of the spacecraft is 81281.5 pounds.

Question 1 (1 point)
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The work done by the frictional force is 600J.

Explanation:

The work W done by the frictional force is

W= Fd.

Now, F = 60N and d =10m; therefore,

W= (60N)(10m)

\boxed{W = 600J.}

Hence, the work done by friction is 660J.

Naddik [55]

Complete Question

The complete question iws shown on the first uploaded image  

Answer:

a

    y \to z \to x

b

  x \to z \to y

Explanation:

Now looking at the diagram let take that the magnetic field is moving in the x-axis

 Now the magnetic force is mathematically represented as

             F =  I L x B

Note (The x is showing cross product )

Note the force(y-axis) is perpendicular to the field direction (x-axis)

Now when the loop is swinging forward

 The motion of the loop is  from   y to z to to x to y

Now since the force is perpendicular to the motion(velocity) of the loop

Hence the force would be from z to y and back to z  

and from lenze law the induce current opposes the force so the direction will be from y to z to x

Now when the loop is swinging backward

   The motion of the induced current will now be   x to z to y

What will be the average velocity of a body falling in free fall on Earth for 3 s?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

29.4m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time  = 3s

Unknown:

Average velocity  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

      v  = u + gt

v is the average velocity

u is the initial velocity  = 0m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

t is the time

So;

        v  = 0 + (9.8 x 3)  = 29.4m/s
