Physics question A spacecraft descends vertically near the surface of Planet X. An upward thrust of 25.0kN from its engines slow

s it down at a rate of 1.20 m/s^2, but if an upward thrust of only 10.0 kN is applied, it speeds up at rate of .80m/s^2.

 F=m*a and m is constant on any planet 
25000-m*g=m*1.2 
10000-m*g=-m*0.80 
m*g is the weight 
25000/1.2-m*g/1.2=m 
10000/0.80-m*g/0.80=-25000/1.2+m*g/1.2 solve for m*g 
m*g=(10000/0.80+25000/1.2)/ (1/1.2+1/0.80) 
16 kN

A student pulls horizontally on a block with a spring scale. The block reads 24.5 Newtons before the block starts to move. It re
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The coefficient of friction causes the force on the object to be less than its initial reading on the spring scale.

Explanation:

Since the block reads 24.5 N before the block starts to move, this is its weight. Now, when the block starts to move at a constant velocity, it experiences a frictional force which is equal to the force with which the student pulls.

Now, since the velocity is constant so, there is no acceleration and thus, the net force is zero.

Let F = force applied and f = frictional force = μN = μW where μ = coefficient of friction and N = normal force. The normal force also equals the weight of the object W.

Now, since F - f = ma and a = 0 where a = acceleration and m = mass of block,

F - f = m(0) = 0

F - f = 0

F = f

Since the force applied equals the frictional force, we have that

F =  μW and F = 23.7 N and W = 24.5 N

So, 23.7 N = μ(24.5 N)

μ = 23.7 N/24.5 N

μ = 0.97

Since μ = 0.97 < 1, the coefficient of friction causes the force on the object to be less than its initial reading on the spring scale.

What do you mean by velocity ratio of a wheel and axle​
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

In wheel and axle. …with the system is the velocity ratio, or the ratio of the velocity (VF) with which the operator pulls the rope at F to the velocity at which the weight W is raised (VW). This ratio is equal to twice the radius of the large drum divided by the difference…
