The Space Shuttle does not directly inject into its prescribed mission orbit. Rather, themain engine shutdown occurs at the apog

ee of an elliptical orbit with 100-km altitudeand the external tank is discarded. Perigee of this orbit is at 30-km altitude. After thetank is released, the Shuttle uses its orbital maneuvering system (OMS) to maneuverinto an elliptical orbit with perigee at 100-km altitude and apogee at 250-km altitude.This is called the OMS-1 burn. At the new apogee, the Shuttle performs the OMS-2burn to circularize into the 250-km altitude mission orbit. Calculate:
(a) the burnout speed at apogee in the external tank disposal orbit;(b) the ΔV required for the OMS-1 maneuver;(c) the ΔVrequired for the OMS-2 maneuver;(d) if launching from the Kennedy Space Center, without a plane change maneuver,what is the range of inclinations possible for the Shuttle mission orbit? Why?

Stells [14]

Answer:

v=0.04m/s

Explanation:

To solve this problem we have to take into account the expression

\omega=\frac{v}{r}

where v and r are the magnitudes of the velocity and position vectors.

By calculating the magnitude of r and replacing w=0.02rad/s in the formula we have that

|r|=\sqrt{(-1.18m)^2+(-0.9m)^2}=2.01m\\\\v=\omega r=(0.02\frac{rad}{s})(2.01m)=0.04\frac{m}{s}

the maximum relative velocity is 0.04m/s

hope this helps!!

diamong [38]

Answer

speed of the molecules

s₁ = v t

when velocity is doubled

s₂ = (2 v)t

   = 2 s₁

they will hit the wall of container two times as often.

the momentum of molecule

p₁ = mvr

p₂ = m(2v)r = 2(mvr)

    = 2 p₁

the momentum change is two times as great.

force is change in momentum

Δp = F(Δt)

mv-(-mv) = 2 mv

F = \dfrac{2 mv}{\Delta t}

F α v

therefore average force impart to the wall on each collision is two times

p = \dfrac{F_{total}}{A}

p = \dfrac{Nmv^2}{3LA}

p α v²

here the velocity is doubled it means pressure becomes four times.

What can you conclude about the total mechanical energy of a pendulum as it swings back and forth?
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The total mechanical energy of a pendulum is conserved neglecting the friction.

Explanation:

  • When a simple pendulum swings back and forth, it has some energy associated with its motion.
  • The total energy of a simple pendulum in harmonic motion at any instant of time is equal to the sum of the potential and kinetic energy.
  • The potential energy of the simple pendulum is given by P.E = mgh
  • The kinetic energy of the simple pendulum is given by, K.E = 1/2mv²
  • When the pendulum swings to one end, its velocity equals zero temporarily where the potential energy becomes maximum.
  • When the pendulum reaches the vertical line, its velocity and kinetic energy become maximum.
  • Hence, the total mechanical energy of a pendulum as it swings back and forth is conserved neglecting the resistance.

A proton is released from rest at the origin in a uniform electric field that is directed in the positive x direction with magni
Vika [28.1K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Electric field, E=950\ N/C

We need to find the change in the electric potential energy of the proton-field system when the proton travels to x = 2.5 m

From the conservation of energy, the loss in potential energy is equal to the gain in kinetic energy and kinetic energy is is equal to the work done.

W=F\times x

W=q\times E\times x

W=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 950\times 2.5

W=3.8\times 10^{-16}\ J

So, the change in electric potential energy of the proton field system is 3.8\times 10^{-16}\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.
