Answer:

The final momentum of the spacecraft is, p' = 57363368.4 kg m/s    

Explanation:

Given data,

The mass of the spacecraft. m = 44495 kg

The initial speed of the spacecraft, u = 1290 m/s

The thruster fires for the time, t= 27.4 s

The continuous force exerted by the thruster, F = 1284 N

The initial momentum of the spacecraft, p = mu

                              p = 44495 x 1290

                                 = 57398550 kg m/s

The final momentum of the spacecraft, p' = mv

According to newton's II law, the rate of change of momentum is equal to the force acting on the body.

                    F=\frac{mv -mu}{t}  

                                p' = Ft + mu

                                    = -1284 x 27.4 + 57398550

                                    = 57363368.4 kg m/s

Hence, the final momentum of the spacecraft is, p' = 57363368.4 kg m/s

Answer:

A. 2.82 eV

B. 439nm

C. 59.5 angstroms

Explanation:

A. To calculate the energy of the photon emitted you use the following formula:

E_{n1,n2}=-13.4(\frac{1}{n_2^2}-\frac{1}{n_1^2})     (1)

n1: final state = 5

n2: initial state = 2

Where the energy is electron volts. You replace the values of n1 and n2 in the equation (1):

E_{5,2}=-13.6(\frac{1}{5^2}-\frac{1}{2^2})=2.82eV

B. The energy of the emitted photon is given by the following formula:

E=h\frac{c}{\lambda}   (2)

h: Planck's constant = 6.62*10^{-34} kgm^2/s

c: speed of light = 3*10^8 m/s

λ: wavelength of the photon

You first convert the energy from eV to J:

2.82eV*\frac{1J}{6.242*10^{18}eV}=4.517*10^{-19}J

Next, you use the equation (2) and solve for λ:

\lambda=\frac{hc}{E}=\frac{(6.62*10^{-34} kg m^2/s)(3*10^8m/s)}{4.517*10^{-19}J}=4.39*10^{-7}m=439*10^{-9}m=439nm

C. The radius of the orbit is given by:

r_n=n^2a_o   (3)

where ao is the Bohr's radius = 2.380 Angstroms

You use the equation (3) with n=5:

r_5=5^2(2.380)=59.5

hence, the radius of the atom in its 5-th state is 59.5 anstrongs

A 6.00-kg box sits on a ramp that is inclined at 37.0° above the horizontal. the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box
forsale [732]
We need to see what forces act on the box:

In the x direction:

Fh-Ff-Gsinα=ma, where Fh is the horizontal force that is pulling the box up the incline, Ff is the force of friction, Gsinα is the horizontal component of the gravitational force, m is mass of the box and a is the acceleration of the box.

In the y direction:

N-Gcosα = 0, where N is the force of the ramp and Gcosα is the vertical component of the gravitational force. 

From N-Gcosα=0 we get: 

N=Gcosα, we will need this for the force of friction.

Now to solve for Fh:

Fh=ma + Ff + Gsinα,

Ff=μN=μGcosα, this is the friction force where μ is the coefficient of friction. We put that into the equation for Fh.
G=mg, where m is the mass of the box and g=9.81 m/s²

Fh=ma + μmgcosα+mgsinα

Now we plug in the numbers and get:

Fh=6*3.6 + 0.3*6*9.81*0.8 + 6*9.81*0.6 = 21.6 + 14.1 + 35.3 = 71 N

The horizontal force for pulling the body up the ramp needs to be Fh=71 N.

A runner achieves a velocity of 11.1 m/s, 9 sec after he begins. What is his
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

1.23 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 11.1 m/s

t = 9 s

Find: a

Equation:

v = at + v₀

Plug in:

11.1 m/s = a (9 s) + 0 m/s

a = 1.23 m/s²

The runner's acceleration is 1.23 m/s².
