This speed is measured with respect to the space station the spacecraft was originally launched from. In interstellar space the

gravitational pull from the stars is negligible, because the stars are extremely far. The spacecraft turns its main rocket engine on for a time period of 6.5 hours. The rocket engine provides a thrust of 896 N of force. What is the new speed of the craft after the engine is turned off? The mass of the spacecraft is 1380 kg. The rocket engine is very efficient, it uses only a very small amount of rocket fuel during this whole acceleration process without changing the mass of the craft.

Answer:

15193.62 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 6.5 hours

u = Initial velocity = 0 (Assumed)

m = Mass of rocket = 1380 kg

F = Thrust force = 896 N

v = Final velocity

a = Acceleration of the rocket

Force

F=ma\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{F}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{896}{1380}\\\Rightarrow a=0.6493\ m/s^2

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+0.6493\times 6.5\times 60\times 60\\\Rightarrow v=15193.62\ m/s

The velocity of the rocket after 6.5 hours of thrust is 15193.62 m/s

GalinKa [24]
Evidence for the particle nature of light are not: 1. refraction, 2.  many colors of light, 3. diffraction. These are all phenomenon that support wave theory of light. Evidence for particle nature of light is photoelectric effect. Because it was discovered that you need discrete energies of light to eject electrons from a metal surface and not continuous as the wave theory of light suggests.

arlik [135]

Answer:

\ m/s

Explanation:

F = Force =

m = Mass of proton = 1.7\times 10^{-27\ kg

t = Time taken = 2\times 10^{-14}\ s

Acceleration is given by

a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{}{1.7\times 10^{-27}}\\\Rightarrow a=\ m/s^2

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=+\times 2\times 10^{-14}\\\Rightarrow v=+\times 2\times 10^{-14}\\\Rightarrow v=+\\\Rightarrow v=\ m/s

The velocity of the proton is \ m/s

Why do the passengers on a high-flying airplane not appear weightless, similar to the astronauts on the space station?
sergey [27]

<span>Even in space, there is still presence of gravity. The cause of weightlessness is not how far above the earth the space shuttle is but rather how fast it is travelling. The shuttle is in free fall causing weightlessness, but it is travelling fast enough to miss the earth as it falls. Similarly, the airplane could also provide weightlessness if it went free fall as well. However, that ends as the plane hits the ground. </span>

Calculate the minimum thickness (in nm) of an oil slick on water that appears blue when illuminated by white light perpendicular
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The minimum thickness = 83.92 nm

Explanation:

The relation between the wavelength in a particular medium and refractive index \lambda_n = \frac{ \lambda }{n}

where ;

\lambda = wavelength of the light in vacuum

n = refractive index of medium with respect to vacuum

For one phase change :

2t = \frac{\lambda_n}{2}\\\\where \ \lambda_n = \frac{\lambda}{n}\\\\Then \ \\\\2t = \frac{\lambda}{2n}\\\\t = \frac{\lambda_n}{4n}

Replacing 1.43 for n and 480 nm for λ; we have:

t = \frac{480}{4(1.43)}

t = 83.92 nm

Thus; the minimum thickness = 83.92 nm
