Suppose you are navigating a spacecraft far from other objects. The mass of the spacecraft is 2.0 104 kg (about 20 tons). The ro

cket engines are shut off, and you're coasting along with a constant velocity of ‹ 0, 28, 0 › km/s. As you pass the location ‹ 4, 4, 0 › km you briefly fire side thruster rockets, so that your spacecraft experiences a net force of ‹ 7.0 105, 0, 0 › N for 21 s. The ejected gases have a mass that is small compared to the mass of the spacecraft. You then continue coasting with the rocket engines turned off. Where are you an hour later? (Think about what approximations or simplifying assumptions you made in your analysis. Also think about the choice of system: what are the surroundings that exert external forces on your system?)

Answer:

   r = <2.640 10⁶, 1.01 10⁸, 0> m

Explanation:

For this exercise we are going to solve it for each direction separately,

we locate a fixed reference frame in space at the height of the rocket, such that the position of the rocket is

  r₀ = <4, 4, 0> 10³ m

X axis

the initial velocity of the ship on this axis is v₀ₓ = 0, when it passes through the point x₀ = 4 km it ignites the rockets, experiencing a force of Fₓ = 7.0 10⁵ N for 21 s and the rockets turn off

They ask where it is after one hour t = 1 h = 3600 s

Let's apply Newton's second law

        Fₓ = m aₓ

        aₓ = Fₓ / m

        aₓ = 7.0 10⁵/2 10⁴

        aₓ = 3.5 10¹ m / s

Let's use kinematics to find the distance

for the first t₁ = 21 s the movement is accelerated

        x₁ = x₀ + v₀ t₁ + ½ aₓ t₁²

        x₁ = x₀ + ½ aₓ t₁²

        x₁ = 4000 + ½ 35 21² = 4000 + 7717,.5

        x₁ = 11717.5 m

this instant has a speed of

        vₓ = v₀ₓ + aₓ t

        vₓ = aₓ t ₁

        vₓ = 35  21

        vₓ = 735 m / s

the rest of the time there is no acceleration so it is uniform motion at this speed

        t₂ = 3600 - 21

        t₂ = 3576 s

         vₓ = x₂ / t₂

         x₂ = vₓ t₂

         x₂ = 735  3576

         x₂ = 2,628 10⁶ m

the total distance traveled in this direction is

         x_total = x₁ + x₂

         x_total = 11717.5 + 2.628 10⁶

         x_total = 2,640 10⁶ m

Y axis

on this axis it is in the initial position of y₀ = 4000 m, with an initial velocity of v_{oy} = 28 10³ m / s and there is no force on this axis F_{y} = 0

The movement in this axis is uniform,

       v_{y} = y / t

       y = v_{y} t

       y = 28 10³/3600

       y = 1.01 10⁸ m

the total distance is

       y_total = y₀ + y

       y_total = 4000 + 1.01 10⁸

       y_total = 1.01 10⁸ m

Z axis

the initial position is z₀ = 0, with an initial velocity of v₀ = 0 and in this axis there is no force F_{z} = 0

the movement is uniform

         z = 0

the final position of the rocket after 1 h is

      r = <2.640 10⁶, 1.01 10⁸, 0> m

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

The magnetic field due to straight wire is into the square coil.

As the current in straight wire decreases the magnetic flux in the coil decreases . The induced magnetic field is into the coil.The induced current is along +y direction

For the image of the overhead projector to be in focus, the distance from the projector lens to the image, <img src="https://tex
rjkz [21]
Given:
distance from the projector lens to the image, di
projector lens focal length, f
distance from the transparency to the projector lens, do

thin lens equation: 1/f = 1/di + 1/do
do = 4 inches
di = 8 feet

convert feet to inches, for uniformity.
1 foot = 12 inches
8 feet * 12 inches/ft = 96 inches
 
1/f = 1/96 inches + 1/4 inches

Adding fractions, denominator must be the same.

1/f = (1/96 * 1/1) + (1/4 * 24/24)
1/f = 1/96 + 24/96
1/f = 25/96

to find the value of f, do cross multiplication
1*96 = f * 25
96 = 25f
96/25 = f
3.84 = f

The focal length of the project lens is 3.84 inches

A cylindrical can 150 mm in diameter is filled to a depth of 100 mm with a fuel oil. The oil has a mass of 1.56 kg. Calculate it
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Density (φ) = 0,8827 Kg/L

Specific weight (Ws) = 8,65 N/L

Specific gravity (Gs) = 0,8827 (without unit)

Explanation:

The density formula: φ = \frac{m}{V}

I know the mass "m", I need to find out the volume of the cylinder (V)

V = π* r²*h

The radius "r" is equal to half the diameter (150mm) = 75mm

Now I can find out the density (φ)

φ = \frac{1,56Kg}{1,767145L} = 0,8827 Kg/L

The specific weight (Ws) is the relationship between the weight of substance (oil) and its volume. We apply the following formula:

Ws = φ*g

(g = gravity = 9,8 m/s²)

Finally, specific gravity (Gs) is the ratio between the density of a substance (oil) "φ(o)" and the density of water "φ(w)" :

Gs = φ(o) /  φ(w)

(φ(w) = 1 Kg/L

Hope this can help you !!
