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

With what maximum precision can its position be ascertained? [hint: ?p=m?v.]
Nana76 [90]
The formula for the momentum is
p = mv
As a consequence of the conservation of energy, there is also the law of conservation of momentum.
So,
Δp = Δmv = mΔv
The maximum precision that the position can be ascertained is less than 100% because of dissipation.

A long, straight, cylindrical wire of radius R carries a current uniformly distributed over its cross section.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall solve this question with the help of Ampere's circuital law.

Ampere's ,law

∫ B dl = μ₀ I , B is magnetic field at distance x from the axis within wire

we shall find magnetic field at distance x . current enclosed in the area of circle of radius x

=  I x π x²  / π R²

= I x²  /  R²

B x 2π x = μ₀  x current enclosed

B x 2π x = μ₀  x  I x²  /  R²

B =  μ₀   I x  / 2π R²

Maximum magnetic B₀ field  will be when x = R

B₀ = μ₀I   / 2π R

Given

B = B₀ / 3

μ₀   I x  / 2π R² = μ₀I   / 2π R x 3

x = R / 3

b ) The largest value of magnetic field is on the surface of wire

B₀ = μ₀I   / 2π R

At distance x outside , let magnetic field be B

Applying Ampere's circuital law

∫ B dl = μ₀ I

B x 2π x = μ₀ I

B = μ₀ I / 2π x

Given B = B₀ / 3

μ₀ I / 2π x = μ₀I   / 2π R x 3

x = 3R .

Infrared radiation from young stars can pass through the heavy dust clouds surrounding them, allowing astronomers here on Earth
Semmy [17]

Answer:

\lambda=6.83\times 10^{-5}\ m

Explanation:

Given that,

An infrared telescope is tuned to detect infrared radiation with a frequency of 4.39 THz.

We know that,

1 THz = 10¹² Hz

So,

f = 4.39 × 10¹² Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the infrared radiation.

We know that,

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{4.39\times 10^{12}}\\\\=6.83\times 10^{-5}\ m

So, the wavelength of the infrared radiation is 6.83\times 10^{-5}\ m.
