Answer:

t = 12,105.96 sec

Explanation:

Given data:

weight of spacecraft is 2000 kg

circular orbit distance to saturn = 180 km

specific impulse = 300 sec

saturn orbit around the sun R_2 = 1.43 *10^9 km

earth orbit around the sun R_1= 149.6 * 10^ 6 km

time required for the mission is given as t

t = \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{\mu_sun}} [\frac{1}{2}(R_1 + R_2)]^{3/2}

where

\mu_{sun} is gravitational parameter of sun =  1.32712 x 10^20 m^3 s^2.t = \frac{2\pi}{\sqrt{ 1.32712 x 10^{20}}} [\frac{1}{2}(149.6 * 10^ 6 +1.43 *10^9 )]^{3/2}

t = 12,105.96 sec

Describe the changes in the velocity of a ball thrown straight up into the air. then describe the changes in the ball's accelera
expeople1 [14]

There is a displacement. Just because the ball is thrown up, and not crossways, doesn't mean its location is not moving. Remember, positive displacement is together a displacement in the direction east, right, and up.  The velocity is the distance over time. To compute that, you must look how high the ball moved before falling back down. Acceleration is expected to be constant at 9.80m/s^2. That is the force of gravity. But remember that you are disregarding air friction when you are computing the acceleration.

Why is Radiology important in the medical field?
juin [17]

Answer:

Radiology plays a huge role in disease management by giving physicians more options, tools, and techniques for detection and treatment. Diagnostic imaging allows for detailed information about structural or disease-related changes. With the ability to diagnose during the early stages, patients may be saved.

Why do objects not cool to absolute zero by emitting all their thermal energy
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Because the object should shrink its volume to zero, which is impossible

Explanation:

Let's talk about gases for simplicity. Ideal gases are governed by the ideal gas equation:

pV=nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V is the volume of the gas

n is the number of moles

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature

From the formula, we see that T and V are directly proportional: therefore, in order for a gas to have an absolute temperature of zero, it must also have a volume of zero, which is impossible.
