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

What is the difference between scientific law and scientific theory
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

In general, a scientific law is the description of an observed phenomenon. It doesn't explain why the phenomenon exists or what causes it. The explanation of a phenomenon is called a scientific theory.

As part
umka21 [38]

Answer:

Part a)

a = 3.68 m/s^2

Part b)

a = 11.8 m/s^2

Explanation:

Part a)

For force conditions of two blocks we will have

m_1g - T = m_1 a

T - m_2g = m_2 a

now from above equations we have

(m_1 - m_2) g = (m_1 + m_2) a

a = \frac{m_1 - m_2}{m_1 + m_2} g

now we know that

m_1 = \frac{908}{9.8} = 92.65 kg

m_2 = \frac{412}{9.8} = 42 kg

now from above equation we have

a = \frac{92.65 - 42}{92.65 + 42}(9.8)

a = 3.68 m/s^2

Part b)

When heavier block is removed and F = 908 N is applied at the end of the string then we have

F - mg = ma

908 - 412 = 42 a

a = 11.8 m/s^2

A surfer is moving at a constant velocity of 5.2 m/s north relative to a wave which is pushing him west at a constant velocity o
Vika [28.1K]
The speed and distances are directly proportional. Use ratios to solve for vertical y-distance. The ratio of x-distance west to y-distance north equals the x-velocity to y-velocity.

x/y = vx/vy
41/y = 8.6/5.2
41/y = 1.65
41/1.65 = y
24.8 m = y

An object traveling in a straight line accelerates. What will definitely happen due to the acceleration?
Damm [24]
"Acceleration" means any change in the speed or direction of motion ... speeding up, slowing down, or turning.  So . . .

<span>-- </span><span>The distance traveled in a certain time may increase or decrease.

-- The displacement covered in a certain time may increase or decrease.

-- The speed of the object may increase or decrease.

-- The velocity of the object (speed/direction) will change.
