A spaceship is traveling through deep space towards a space station and needs to make a course correction to go around a nebula.

The captain orders the ship to travel 1.7 ✕ 106 kilometers, then turn 70° and travel an additional 2.7 ✕ 106 kilometers to reach the space station. If the captain had not ordered a course correction, what would have been the magnitude and direction of the path of the spaceship if it has traveled through the nebula?

Answer:

Magnitude = 3.64 × 10^6  

စ = 43.9°

Explanation:

given data

ship to travel = 1.7 × 10^6    kilometers

turn = 70°

travel an additional = 2.7 × 10^6   kilometers

solution

we will consider here

Px = 1.7 × 10^6  

Py = 0

Qx =2.7 × 10^6  cos(70)

Qy= 2.7 × 10^6  sin(70)

so that

Hx = Px + Qx    ............1

Hx = 2.62 × 10^6  

and

Hy = Py + Qy      ..........2

Hy = 2.53 × 10^6  

so Magnitude = \sqrt{((2.62 \times 10^6  )^2+(2.53 \times 10^6)^2)}

Magnitude = 3.64 ×  

so direction  will be

tan စ = Hy ÷ Hx    ......................3

tan စ  = \frac{2.53}{2.62}

tan စ  = 0.9656

စ = 43.9°

Puck 1 (1 kg) travels with velocity 20 m/s to the right when it collides with puck 2 (1 kg) which is initially at rest. After th
Burka [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Mass of Puck 1, m = 1 kg

Mass of Puck 2, M = 1 kg

Initial velocity of Puck 1, u = 20 m/s

Initial velocity of Puck 2, U = 0 m/s

Final velocity of Puck 1, v = 5 m/s

Since we are told that momentum is conserved, we apply the principle of conservation of momentum:

Total initial momentum of the system = Total final momentum of the system

mu + MU = mv + MV

(1 * 20) + (1 * 0) = (1 * 5) + (1 * V)

20 = 5 + V

V = 20 - 5 = 15 m/s

Puck 2 moves with a velocity of 15 m/s

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

A fire hose must be able to shoot water to the top of a building 35.0 m tall ... Water enters this hose at a steady rate of 0.500 m3/s and shoots out of a round nozzle. ... I know that Flow rate=0.500 m3/s=A*V. I know the pressure needed to ... The first equation has no potential while the second has no kinetic.

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

v = 3.5 \times 10^5 m/s

Explanation:

At some distance from the Earth the force of attraction due to moon is balanced by the force due to Moon

so we will have

\frac{GM_em}{r^2} = \frac{GM_m}{(d-r)^2}

now we have

\frac{d - r}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{M_m}{M_e}}

\frac{3.844\times 10^8 - r}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{7.36 \times 10^{22}}{5.9742\times 10^{24}}}

so we will have

r = 3.46 \times 10^8 m

Now by energy conservation

-\frac{GM_e}{R_e} - \frac{GM_m}{d - (R_e + R_m)} + \frac{1}{2}v^2 = -\frac{GM_e}{r} - \frac{GM_m}{d - r}

-6.26 \times 10^{8} - 13046 + \frac{1}{2}v^2 = -1.15 \times 10^6 - 1.28 \times 10^5

v = 3.5 \times 10^5 m/s

Assume a small 11 kg crate is attached to a parachute. The chute pulls up on the crate with 150 N.
MaRussiya [10]

Explanation:

a. The net force is the upward force of the chute minus the weight of the crate.

∑F = F − mg

∑F = 150 N − (11 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

∑F = 42.2 N

b. From Newton's second law, the net force equals the mass times acceleration:

∑F = ma

42.2 N = (11 kg) a

a = 3.84 m/s²

c. Acceleration is the change in velocity over change in time.  Assuming the crate is released from rest:

v = at + v₀

v = (3.84 m/s²) (5 s) + (0 m/s)

v = 19.2 m/s

Would you have been a Federalist or an Anti-Federalist? Why?
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

I would have been an anti-federalist. They favored a weak central government because they related it to the British tyranny. Federalists believed in a strong central government, almost controlling. I would not have respected this type of government.
