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

Experiment 1: A study is done to determine which of two fuel mixtures allows a rocket to travel farther over a period of time. R
leva [86]

Answer: D

Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the mass of the rockets. Any variation in mass may cause a discrepancy in the distance traveled.

This is the answer to the question because:

  • Both experiments do have a confounding variable.
  • Experiment 1 doesn't have to stay constant.
  • A double-blind experiment will not do anything to the placebo.
  • High blood pressure people will not make the results confusing.

The answer has to be the option D. Hope this helps you!

Be sure to answer all parts. Assume the diameter of a neutral helium atom is 1.40 × 102 pm. Suppose that we could line up helium
ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The number of atoms are 1.86\times10^{8}.

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter D = 1.40\times10^{2}\ pm

D=1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}\ m

Distance = 2.60 cm

We calculate the number of atoms

Using formula of numbers of atoms

Number\ of\ atoms =\dfrac{2.60\times10^{-2}}{1.40\times10^{2}\times10^{-12}}

Number\of\atoms =1.86\times10^{8}

Hence, The number of atoms are 1.86\times10^{8}.

Diamonds Choose one:
Daniel [21]

Answer:

D. are brought from the mantle to the surface in magma that hardens into komatiite.

Explanation:

Diamond :

 It is the hardest form of carbon.The atomic atoms arrange in the cubic crystal structure and this is known as diamond cubic.Another form of the diamond at room temperature is graphite.This is used for making jewelry.This is also used in the cutting process because it has high strength.

Therefore the correct option for the diamond is D.
