Ezekiel is standing inside a spaceship ( S′ frame) that moves to the right at a speed of v=0.5c , where c is the speed of light.

Flashlights emitting light signals are located at the front and back ends of the spaceship. The signals from the flashlights reach Ezekiel at the same time. Sabrina stands on Earth observing the same flashlights.According to your friend, which signal was emitted first?
a. The signal from the front flashlight b. The signal from the back flashlight c. Both signals are simultaneous d. Cannot be determined

Answer:

c. Both signals are simultaneous.

Explanation:

The speed of light is the same in all frame of reference.

Since an observer inside the ship receives both signals at the same time, then the signals from both flashlight are simultaneously.

One of your summer lunar space camp activities is to launch a 1090 kg rocket from the surface of the Moon. You are a serious spa
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

ΔP.E = 6.48 x 10⁸ J

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon:

g = GM/R²

where,

g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

M = Mass of moon = 7.36 x 10²² kg

R = Radius of Moon = 1740 km = 1.74 x 10⁶ m

Therefore,

g = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²)(7.36 x 10²² kg)/(1.74 x 10⁶ m)²

g = 2.82 m/s²

now the change in gravitational potential energy of rocket is calculated by:

ΔP.E = mgΔh

where,

ΔP.E = Change in Gravitational Potential Energy = ?

m = mass of rocket = 1090 kg

Δh = altitude = 211 km = 2.11 x 10⁵ m

Therefore,

ΔP.E = (1090 kg)(2.82 m/s²)(2.11 x 10⁵ m)

<u>ΔP.E = 6.48 x 10⁸ J</u>

A quarterback passes a football from height h = 2.1 m above the field, with initial velocity v0 = 13.5 m/s at an angle θ = 32° a
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

a)    x = v₀² sin 2θ / g

b)    t_total = 2 v₀ sin θ / g

c)    x = 16.7 m

Explanation:

This is a projectile launching exercise, let's use trigonometry to find the components of the initial velocity

        sin θ = v_{oy} / vo

        cos θ = v₀ₓ / vo

         v_{oy} = v_{o} sin θ

         v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

         v_{oy} = 13.5 sin 32 = 7.15 m / s

         v₀ₓ = 13.5 cos 32 = 11.45 m / s

a) In the x axis there is no acceleration so the velocity is constant

         v₀ₓ = x / t

          x = v₀ₓ t

the time the ball is in the air is twice the time to reach the maximum height, where the vertical speed is zero

          v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

          0 = v₀ sin θ - gt

          t = v_{o} sin θ / g

         

we substitute

       x = v₀ cos θ (2 v_{o} sin θ / g)

       x = v₀² /g      2 cos θ sin θ

       x = v₀² sin 2θ / g

at the point where the receiver receives the ball is at the same height, so this coincides with the range of the projectile launch,

b) The acceleration to which the ball is subjected is equal in the rise and fall, therefore it takes the same time for both parties, let's find the rise time

at the highest point the vertical speed is zero

          v_{y} = v_{oy} - gt

          v_{y} = 0

           t = v_{oy} / g

           t = v₀ sin θ / g

as the time to get on and off is the same the total time or flight time is

           t_total = 2 t

           t_total = 2 v₀ sin θ / g

c) we calculate

          x = 13.5 2 sin (2 32) / 9.8

          x = 16.7 m

In order to place a satellite into orbit, it requires enough fuel to supply the necessary mechanical energy. Into what types of
nexus9112 [7]

When a satellite is revolving into the orbit around a planet then we can say

net centripetal force on the satellite is due to gravitational attraction force of the planet, so we will have

F_g = F_c

\frac{GM_pM_s}{r^2} = \frac{M_s v^2}{r}

now we can say that kinetic energy of satellite is  given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}M_s v^2

KE = \frac{GM_sM_p}{2r}

also we know that since satellite is in gravitational field of the planet so here it must have some gravitational potential energy in it

so we will have

U = -\frac{GM_sM_p}{r}

so we can say that energy from the fuel is converted into kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy of the satellite

A 5 kg block is being pushed horizontally across a level surface at a constant velocity. What is the magnitude of the Normal for
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

50 N.

Explanation:

On top of a horizontal surface, the normal force acting on an object is equivalent to the force of gravity acting on the object. That is:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} F_N = F_g & = ma \\ & = mg\end{aligned}

The mass of the block is 5 kg and the given force due to gravity is 10 N/kg. Substitute and evaluate:

\displaystyle F_N = F_g = (5\text{ kg})(10 \text{ N/kg}) = 50 \text{ N}

In conclusion, the normal force acting on the block is 50 N.
