A space vehicle is traveling at 2980 km/h relative to Earth when the exhausted rocket motor is disengaged and sent backward. The

relative speed between the motor and the command module is then 94 km/h. The mass of the motor is four times the mass of the module. What is the speed of the command module relative to Earth just after the separation

Answer:

3054.4 km/h

Explanation:

Using the conservation of momentum

momentum before separation = 5M × 2980 Km/h where M represent the mass of the module while 4 M represent the mass of the motor

initial momentum = 14900 M km/h

let v be the new speed of the motor so that the

new momentum = 4Mv and the new momentum of the module  = M ( v + 94 km/h )

total momentum = 4Mv + Mv + 93 M = 5 Mv + 93M

initial momentum = final momentum

14900 M km/h = 5 Mv + 93M

14900 km/h = 5v + 93

14900 - 93 = 5v

v = 2961.4 km/h

the speed of the module = 2961.4 + 93 = 3054.4 km/h

5. What is the density of 4.5 mL of a liquid that has a mass of 1.3 grams?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

A. 0.289g/mL

Explanation:

Using the equation for density which is d = m/v  or density = mass/volume, we input 1.3g/4.5mL and get 0.289g/mL.

The spectra of most stars are dark-line spectra because ________.
pav-90 [236]
Because dark line spectra result from passing white light through ionized gasses and plasmas, which is what the atmosphere of stars are made of.  These frequencies are scattered by the star's atmosphere as it leaves the surface (photosphere) of the star, and don't make it to earth.

The 2.50 kg cube in the figure has edge lengths d = 6.50 cm and is mounted on an axle
kozerog [31]

Answer:

0.191 s

Explanation:

The distance from the center of the cube to the upper corner is r = d/√2.

When the cube is rotated an angle θ, the spring is stretched a distance of r sin θ.  The new vertical distance from the center to the corner is r cos θ.

Sum of the torques:

∑τ = Iα

Fr cos θ = Iα

(k r sin θ) r cos θ = Iα

kr² sin θ cos θ = Iα

k (d²/2) sin θ cos θ = Iα

For a cube rotating about its center, I = ⅙ md².

k (d²/2) sin θ cos θ = ⅙ md² α

3k sin θ cos θ = mα

3/2 k sin(2θ) = mα

For small values of θ, sin θ ≈ θ.

3/2 k (2θ) = mα

α = (3k/m) θ

d²θ/dt² = (3k/m) θ

For this differential equation, the coefficient is the square of the angular frequency, ω².

ω² = 3k/m

ω = √(3k/m)

The period is:

T = 2π / ω

T = 2π √(m/(3k))

Given m = 2.50 kg and k = 900 N/m:

T = 2π √(2.50 kg / (3 × 900 N/m))

T = 0.191 s

The period is 0.191 seconds.
