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

Paraphin [41]

Answer: M^-1 L^-3T^4A^2

Explanation:

From coloumb's law

K = q1q2 / (F × r^2)

Where;

q1, q2 = charges

k = constant (permittivity of free space)

r = distance

Charge (q) = current(A) × time(T) = TA

THEREFORE,

q1q2 = (TA) × (TA) = (TA)^2

Velocity = Distance(L) / time(T) = L/T

Acceleration = change in Velocity(L/T) / time (T)

Therefore, acceleration = LT^-2

Force(F) = Mass(M) × acceleration (LT^-2)

Force(F) = MLT^-2

Distance(r^2) = L^2

From ; K = q1q2 / (F × r^2)

K = (TA)^2 / (MLT^-2) (L^2)

K = T^2A^2M^-1L^-1T^2 L^-2

T^2+2 A^2 M^-1 L^-1-2

Four different vehicles are shown. Assume that all four vehicles are traveling at the same speed on a highway. Which is true abo
klasskru [66]

Answer:

Option C. The delivery van has the greatest kinetic energy because its mass is greater than that of the other

vehicles.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

K.E = ½mv²

Where:

K.E is the kinetic energy.

m is the mass of the object.

v is the velocity of the object.

From the formula above, we can say that:

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the mass of the object and the square of the velocity of the object. This simply means that objects with higher mass will have a greater kinetic energy than objects will lighter mass even if their velocities are the same.

From the question given above, it is obvious that the delivery van has a greater mass than the rest object.

Therefore, the delivery van will have the greatest kinetic energy because its mass is greater than that of the other

vehicles.
