A space probe is traveling in outer space with a momentum that has a magnitude of 3.87 x 107 kg·m/s. A retrorocket is fired to s

low down the probe. It applies a force to the probe that has a magnitude of 1.41 x 106 N and a direction opposite to the probe's motion. It fires for a period of 9.55 s. Determine the momentum of the probe after the retrorocket ceases to fire.

Force = change in momentum / time, Force in opposite direction so negative
-1.41 x 10⁶ = (p₂ - 3.87 x 10⁷) / 9.55
p₂ = 2.52 x 10⁷ Ns

By what factor would your weight increase if you could stand on the sun? (never mind that you can't.)
Fofino [41]

Gravity on the surface of sun is given as

g = \frac{GM}{R^2}

here we know that

M = 1.98 \times 10^{30} kg

R = 6.95 \times 10^8 m

now we will have

g = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(1.98 \times 10^30)}{(6.95 \times 10^8)^2}

g = 273.4 m/s^2

now we need to find the ratio of weight on surface of sun and on surface of Earth

R = \frac{mg_{sun}}{mg_{earth}}

R = \frac{273.4}{9.8} = 28 times

so weight will increase by 28 times

In what factors sound can be heard​
MariettaO [177]

Explanation:

Loudness of sound is a measure of response of sound to our ear. Loudness of sound is not simply the energy reaching the human ear, but it also tells about the sensitivity of human ear detecting this energy. Loudness of sound is measured in decibel (dB). As energy reaching the ear depends on square of amplitude, loudness of sound depends on various factors namely,

(i) Amplitude of sound waves

(ii) Sensitivity of ear

(iii) Distance from the source of the sound and the listener.

An electron and a proton are held on an x axis, with the electron at x = + 1.000 m
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

  r2 = 1 m

therefore the electron that comes with velocity does not reach the origin, it stops when it reaches the position of the electron at x = 1m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use conservation of energy

the electric potential energy is

          U = k \frac{q_1q_2}{r_{12}}

for the proton at x = -1 m

          U₁ =- k \frac{e^2 }{r+1}

for the electron at x = 1 m

          U₂ = k \frac{e^2 }{r-1}

starting point.

        Em₀ = K + U₁ + U₂

        Em₀ = \frac{1}{2} m v^2 - k \frac{e^2}{r+1} + k \frac{e^2}{r-1}

final point

         Em_f = k e^2 ( -\frac{1}{r_2 +1} + \frac{1}{r_2 -1})

   

energy is conserved

        Em₀ = Em_f

        \frac{1}{2} m v^2 - k \frac{e^2}{r+1} + k \frac{e^2}{r-1} = k e^2 (- \frac{1}{r_2 +1} + \frac{1}{r_2 -1})              

       

        \frac{1}{2} m v^2 - k \frac{e^2}{r+1} + k \frac{e^2}{r-1} = k e²(  \frac{2}{(r_2+1)(r_2-1)} )

we substitute the values

½ 9.1 10⁻³¹ 450 + 9 10⁹ (1.6 10⁻¹⁹)² [ - \frac{1}{20+1} + \frac{1}{20-1} ) = 9 109 (1.6 10-19) ²( \frac{2}{r_2^2 -1} )

          2.0475 10⁻²⁸ + 2.304 10⁻³⁷ (5.0125 10⁻³) = 4.608 10⁻³⁷ ( \frac{1}{r_2^2 -1} )

          2.0475 10⁻²⁸ + 1.1549 10⁻³⁹ = 4.608 10⁻³⁷     \frac{1}{r_2^2 -1}

          \frac{2.0475 \ 10^{-28} }{1.1549 \ 10^{-37} } = \frac{1}{r_2^2 -1}

          r₂² -1 = (4.443 10⁸)⁻¹

           

          r2 = \sqrt{1 + 2.25 10^{-9}}

          r2 = 1 m

therefore the electron that comes with velocity does not reach the origin, it stops when it reaches the position of the electron at x = 1m
