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

A disk of a radius 50 cm rotates at a constant rate of 100 rpm. What distance in meters will a point on the outside rim travel d
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

the distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is 157.1 m

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the disk, r = 50 cm = 0.5 m

angular speed of the disk, ω = 100 rpm

time of motion, t = 30 s

The distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is calculated as follows;

\theta = \omega t\\\\\theta = (100 \frac{rev}{\min}  \times \frac{2\pi \ rad}{1 \ rev} \times \frac{1\min}{60 s} ) \times (30 s)\\\\\theta = 100 \pi \ rad\\\\d = \theta r\\\\d = 100\pi  \ \times \ 0.5m\\\\d = 50 \pi \ m = 157.1 \ m

Therefore, the distance in meters traveled by a point outside the rim is 157.1 m

Determine qual é a carga elétrica de um corpo que possui 1 milhão de partículas?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

This can be translated to:

"find the electrical charge of a body that has 1 million of particles".

First, it will depend on the charge of the particles.

If all the particles have 1 electron more than protons, we will have that the charge of each particle is q = -e = -1.6*10^-19 C

Then the total charge of the body will be:

Q = 1,000,000*-1.6*10^-19 C = -1.6*10^-13 C

If we have the inverse case, where we in each particle we have one more proton than the number of electrons, the total charge will be the opposite of the one of before (because the charge of a proton is equal in magnitude but different in sign than the charge of an electron)

Q = 1.6*10^-13 C

But commonly, we will have a spectrum with the particles, where some of them have a positive charge and some of them will have a negative charge, so we will have a probability of charge that is peaked at Q = 0, this means that, in average, the charge of the particles is canceled by the interaction between them.

What type of nuclear radiation is emitted when carbon-14 decays
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Beta radiation

Explanation:

Beta radiation is a radioactive phenomenon of nuclear decay in which an unstable atom or isotop, by transforming a neutron into a proton, or by transforming a proton into a neutron, becomes stable. For example, the decay of carbon 14 produces beta radiation.
