In a novel from 1866 the author describes a spaceship that is blasted out of a cannon with a speed of about 11.000 m/s. The spac

eship is approximately 274 m long but part of it is packed with gunpowder, so it accelerates over a distance of only 213 m. What was the acceleration (in m/s2) experienced by the occupants of the spaceship during the launch?

Answer:

a=0.284\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initially, the spaceship was at rest, u = 0

Final velocity of the spaceship, v = 11 m/s

Distance accelerated by the spaceship, d = 213 m

We need to find the acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship during the launch. It is a concept based on the equation of kinematics. Using the third equation of motion to find acceleration.

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2d}\\\\a=\dfrac{(11)^2-(0)^2}{2\times 213}\\\\a=0.284\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration experienced by the occupants of the spaceship is 0.284\ m/s^2.

If an impulse of 400 Ns acts on an object for 15s, what is the force of the object?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

J for impulse

t for time

F for force

formula is J=F×t

Explanation:

putting values in eqs after rearranging

we need to find force so

F=J ÷t

F=400÷15

=26.67

=27(rounded off)

27N is the Force applied.

Mars moves in an elliptical orbit around the sun, and the mass of mars is much less than the mass of the sun. at the instant sho
Bess [88]
I believe the answer would be that the system potential energy will increase; while the Mar's angular momentum will remain the same. 
Mars rotates on its axis, completing one revolution every 24.6 hours. The axis of mars is tilted at 25 degrees and 12 minutes relative to its orbital plane about the Sun. This produces seasons on the surfaces of Mars, similar to the seasons on Earth.

Which can be replenished?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer: B.

Explanation:

A replenishable resource is the one which can be produced by natural cycle and can be reused. Such a resource is called renewable resource. The renewable resource can be renewed with due course of time.

Option B is the correct option as it includes the forest. The forest when clear cut for wood or any other need can be grown again by using seeds of the same kind of plants used to grow earlier or by planting plantlets so as to restore the forest again. It is an example of replenishable renewable resource.
