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.

A motorcycle is following a car that is traveling at constant speed on a straight highway. Initially, the car and the motorcycle
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

t₂ = 3.89 s

Explanation:

given,

speed of car  = 23 m/s

speed of motorcycle = 23 m/s

after time of 4 s distance between them is equal to = 53 m

motorcycle accelerates at = 7 m/s

time taken to catch up with car = ?

let t₂ be the time in which motorcycle catches car.

distance traveled by car in t₂ s

d = 23 t₂ + 53

distance traveled by motorcycle

using equation of motion

s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

s = 23 t_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 7 \times t_2^2

now, equating both the distances

23t_2 + 53= 23 t_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 7 \times t_2^2

t_2^2 = 15.143

    t₂ = 3.89 s

time taken by the motorcycle to catch the car is equal to 3.89 s

Monochromatic light of wavelength 687 nm is incident on a narrow slit. On a screen 1.65 m away, the distance between the second
Sophie [7]

Answer:

a ) 1.267 radian

b ) 1.084 10⁻³ mm

Explanation:

Distance of screen D = 1.65 m

Width of slit d = ?

Wave length of light   λ  = 687 nm.

Distance of second minimum fro centre y = 2.09 cm

Angle of diffraction = y / D

=  2.09 /1.65  

= 1.267. radian

Angle of diffraction of second minimum

= 2 λ / d

so 2 λ / d = 1.267

d = 2 λ / 1.267 = (2 x 687 ) /1.267 nm

=1084.45 nm = 1.084 x 10⁻³ mm.

Which is the result of using a machine?
Eddi Din [679]
Correct Answers is A.

The machines gives us some mechanical advantage. This means the mechanical average makes the work output greater than the work input
Simple most example is a lever. The force applied is smaller and the output work is larger as compared to input.

Option B cannot be true, as there must be a force to get some work done.
Option C and D are inverse of what a machine is designed for. A small force can be exerted through a large distance to have a large force exerted through a small distance. Common Example of this principle is a screw opener.
