The space probe Deep Space 1 was launched on October 24th, 1998 and it used a type of engine called an ion propulsion drive. An

ion propulsion drive generates only a weak force (or thrust), but can do so for long periods of time using only a small amount of fuel. Suppose the probe, which has a mass of 474 kg is travelling at an initial speed of 275 m/s. No forces act on it except the 5.60 x 10⁻² N thrust from the engine. This external force is directed PARALLEL to the displacement. The displacement has a magnitude of 2.42 x 10⁹ m. {PART A} Calculate the INITIAL kinetic energy of the probe [2 marks] {PART B} Find the work done BY THE ENGINE on the space probe [2 marks] {PART C} Calculate the FINAL KINETIC ENERGY of the probe (Hint W=∆E) [2 marks] {PART D} Determine the final speed of the probe, assuming that its mass remains constant [3 marks]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of probe m = 474 Kg

initial speed u = 275 m /s

force acting on it F = 5.6 x 10⁻² N

displacement s = 2.42 x 10⁹ m

A )

initial kinetic energy = 1/2 m u²  , m is mass of probe.

= .5 x 474 x 275²

= 17923125 J  

B )

work done by engine

= force x displacement

= 5.6 x 10⁻² x 2.42 x 10⁹

= 13.55 x 10⁷ J  

C ) Final kinetic energy

= Initial K E + work done by force on it

= 17923125 +13.55 x 10⁷

= 1.79 x 10⁷ + 13.55 x 10⁷

= 15.34 x 10⁷ J

D ) If v be its velocity

1/2 m v² = 15.34 x 10⁷

1/2 x 474 x v² =  15.34 x 10⁷

v² = 64.72 x 10⁴

v = 8.04 x 10² m /s

= 804 m /s

How can a model be created to predict how forces affect objects at a distance?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Gravitational force increases as the masses of the objects increase and decreases as the distance between the objects increases. Balanced forces acting on an object cause no change in the motion of the object. When unbalanced forces act on an object, the sum of the forces is not equal to zero.

Anika asks Eva to roll a basketball and then a bowling
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

the bowling ball, because it has more mass and  therefore more inertia

Explanation:

As per law of inertia we know that if an object is having more inertia then it is difficult to change state of motion.

Inertia is the property of mass of an object which always resist to change the state of motion of the object.

If an object has more inertia then it is more difficult to change the state of motion.

Now we know that we have one bowling ball and one basket ball, since bowling ball is having more mass then it must have more inertia so it is difficult to start the motion in bowling ball.

So correct answer will be

the bowling ball, because it has more mass and  therefore more inertia

The coefficient of linear expansion of ordinary glass is three times that of Pyrex glass. An ordinary glass rod and a Pyrex glas
DochEvi [55]

Answer:

b. 3 times

Explanation:

Lets take

Coefficient for ordinary glass = α₁

Coefficient for pyrex glass = α₂

 Given that α₁ = 3 α₂

Initial length of both glasses are equal = L

Change in the temperature is also same .= ΔT

We know that change in the length  given as

ΔL =  L α ΔT

Therefore

\dfrac{\Delta L_1}{\Delta L_2}=\dfrac{L\alpha_1\Delta T}{L\alpha_2\Delta T}

\dfrac{\Delta L_1}{\Delta L_2}=\dfrac{3\alpha_2}{\alpha_2}

ΔL₁ = 3ΔL₂

Therefore change in the length of original glass is three time of pyrex glass.

b. 3 times
