Radio transmissions show observers in Houston that the International Space Station is 323 miles away, the Chi- nese space statio

n Tiangong is 462 miles away, and the angle International Space Station–Houston–Tiangong is 109 . How far apart are the two space stations?

Answer:

The two space stations are 644.1653 miles far apart.

Explanation:

The distance of Huston and the International Space Station is 323 miles.

The distance of Huston and the Chinese space station Tiangong is 462 miles.

Angle between the two stations = 109⁰

So, applying the law of cosines as;

c² = a² + b² - 2abcosC

From the picture shown below, a = 323 miles and b = 462 miles

So,

c² = 323² + 462² + 2(323)(462)cos109 = 104329 + 213444 - 298452cos109

cos109 = -0.3256

So,

c² = 414948.9712

<u>c = 644.1653 miles</u>

A 500kg car is driving through a neighborhood at 20m/s. Then the car hits a speed bump which causes it to slow to 15m/s. What wa
lawyer [7]

Based on the formula for calculating impulse, the impulse of the speed bump to the car is 2500 Ns.

<h3>What is the impulse of the speed bump?</h3>

  • Impulse = change in momentum
  • momentum = mass * velocity

Change in momentum = mu - mv

where u is initial velocity

v is final velocity

Impulse = 500 * 20  - 500 * 15

Impulse = 2500 Ns

Therefore, the impulse of the speed bump to the car is 2500 Ns.
