A 44,495 kg spacecraft is traveling through space with an initial speed of 1,290 m/s relative to Earth. A thruster fires for 27.

4 seconds, exerting a continuous force of -1,284 N on the spacecraft. Calculate the final momentum of the spacecraft.

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

Water from a vertical pipe emerges as a 10-cm-diameter cylinder and falls straight down 7.5 m into a bucket. The water exits the
cupoosta [38]

The diameter of the column of the water as it hits the bucket is 4.04 cm

The equation of continuity occurs in the fluid system and it asserts that the inflow and the outflow of the volume rate at the inlet and at the outlet of the system are equal.

By using the kinematics equation to determine the speed of the water in the bucket and applying the equation of continuity to estimate the diameter of the column, we have the following;

Using the kinematics equation:

\mathbf{v_f ^2 = v_i^2 + 2gh}

\mathbf{v_f ^2 =(2.0)^2 + 2\times 9.8 \times 7.5}

\mathbf{v_f ^2 =151 m/s}

\mathbf{v_f  =\sqrt{151 m/s}}

\mathbf{v_f  =12.29 \ m/s}  

From the equation of continuity:

\mathbf{A_iV_i = A_fV_f}

\mathbf{\pi r^2_iV_i = \pi r^2_fV_f}

\mathbf{ r^2_iV_i =  r^2_fV_f}

\mathbf{ (\dfrac{10}{2})^2\times 2.0 =  r_f^2 \times 12.29}

\mathbf{ 50 = 12.29 \times r_f^2}

\mathbf{ r_f=  \sqrt{\dfrac{50}{12.29} }}

\mathbf{ V_f= 2.02 \ cm }

Since diameter = 2r;

∴

The diameter of the column of the water is:

= 2(2.02) cm

= 4.04 cm

Two objects are raised off the ground and one of them is three times as high as the other one. How do their potential energy com
DochEvi [55]

The potential energy of any object depends on its mass as well as its height off the ground.

Potential energy = mass x gravity x height.

We don't have enough information to compare the potential energies of these two objects because we don't know their masses.

How do interest groups and PACs keep us from
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Interest groups help democracy because they represent the interests of such large numbers of people and encourage political participation by many groups. The stable, cooperative relationship often develops among a congressional committee, an administrative agency, and one or more supportive interest groups.

Interest groups try to influence the government to adopt legislation that would benefit them. Email, letter, faxes, phone calls, providing research and information (to bring about change by proving your cause with facts by funded research).
