A small spaceship with a mass of only 2.6 ✕ 103 kg (including an astronaut) is drifting in outer space with negligible gravitati

onal forces acting on it. If the astronaut turns on a 12 kW laser beam, what speed will the ship attain in 1.0 day because of the momentum carried away by the beam?

Answer:

 v = 2.66 10⁻³ m/s

Explanation:

To work this problem we must use the relationship between the amount of movement and energy for an electromagnetic wave

    p = U / c

They give us the power of the laser, which is the relationship between work and time. Work is the variation of energy, in a laser beam that is an electromagnetic wave. We have its power

   P = W / t

   W = P t

Work is the variation of energy W = U

   p = P t / c

   ½ m v = P t / c

   v = 2 P t / m c

Let's reduce time to SI units

   t = 1.0 day (24 h / 1 day) (3600 s / 1 h) = 86400 s

Let's calculate

   v = 2 12 10³ 86400 / (2.6 10³ 3 10⁸)

   v = 2.66 10⁻³ m / s

Why does a balloon stick to a wall questions and problems answers?
Akimi4 [234]
<span>The reason that the balloon will stick to the wall is because the negative charges in the balloon will make the electrons in the wall move to the other side of their atoms and this leaves the surface of the wall positively charged.</span>

Dimas [21]
The answer is <span>It protects the seed until it matures.

Through the process of elimination:
- </span><span>It protects the seed until it matures. YES. A female pine cone the unfertilized seeds until they become mature. Then, the cone opens and seeds fall out of the cone.

</span><span>- It makes food for the adult plant. NO. The food of plants in made of green leaves that contain chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis.
- It allows for photosynthesis to occur. NO. The cones have nothing to do with photosynthesis but they are responsible for reproduction.
- It acts as an object to attract birds. NO. The birds look for colourful flowers while cones are woody.
- It serves as an ornamental object on the tree. NO. Every part of plants has more important function than serving as an ornamental object.</span><span>

In practice, if a voltmeter was connected across any combination of the terminals, the potential difference would be less than w
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

This difference is kept to a minimum because the resistance in transformers is a few tens of ohms and the resistance of modern voltmeters is of the order of MΩ.

Explanation:

A voltmeter is built by a galvanometer and a resistance in series, this set is connected in parallel to the resistance where the voltage is to be measured, therefore the voltage is divided between the voltmeter and the element to be measured, consequently the measured voltage It is less than the calculated one, since for them the resistance of the voltmeter is assumed infinite.

This difference is kept to a minimum because the resistance in transformers is a few tens of ohms and the resistance of modern voltmeters is of the order of MΩ.
