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

A moving walkway at an airport has a speed v1 and a length L. A woman stands on the walkway as it moves from one end to the othe
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

t=L/V_1

Explanation:

<u>solution:</u>

Let E be an observer, and B a second observer traveling with velocity V_{BE}  as measured by E. If E measures the velocity of an object A as V_{AE}  then B will measure A velocity as

V_{AB} = V_{AE} -  V_{BE}  

Applied here,

the walkway (W) and the man (M) are moving relative to Earth (E}, the velocity of the man relative to the moving walkway is

V_{MW} = V_{ME} -  V_{WE}  

V_1=V_{WE},

V_2=V_{MW}

The time required for the woman, traveling at constant speed V_1 relative to the ground, to travel distance L relative to the ground is :

t=L/V_1

Different between conventional and non conventional energy sources​
masha68 [24]

CONVENTIONAL SOURCE OF ENERGY:

The conventional sources of energy are generally non-renewable sources of energy, which are being used since a long time. These sources of energy are being used extensively in such a way that their known reserves have been depleted to a great extent.

At the same time it is becoming increasingly difficult to discover and exploit their new deposits. It is envisaged at known deposits of petroleum in our country will get exhausted by the few decades and coal reserves are expected to last for another hundred years. The coal , petroleum, natural gas and electricity are conventional sources of energy.

>Conventional sources of energy are not abundant, present in limited quantity, e.g. coal, petroleum, natural gas.

>conventional source have been in use for a long time.

>conventional source aren’t refill continuously. They are formed over a million years.

>Conventional source are called non-renewable fuel sources of energy.

> Conventional source are mostly used industrial and commercial purposes.

NON-CONVENTIONAL SOURCE OF ENERGY:

Energy generated by using wind, tides, solar geothermal heat and biomass including farm and animal waste as well as human excreta is known as non-conventional energy. All these sources are renewable or inexhaustible and do not cause environment pollution. More over they do not require heavy expenditure.

> Non-conventional sources of energy are abundant in nature, e.g. solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, bio-gas from biomass etc.

>Non-Conventional source are development phase over the past few years.

>Non-conventional source are continuously fill by natural processes.

>Non-conventional source are called renewable source of energy.

>Non-conventional source are mostly used for household purposes.

A rock is placed on a balance and its mass is determined as 18.3 g. When the rock is then placed in a graduated cylinder that or
Crank

Answer : The density of rock reported should be, 3.1 g/mL

Explanation :

Mass of rock = 18.3 g

Original volume of water = 11.1 mL

New volume of water = 17.0 mL

First we have to calculate the volume of rock.

Volume of rock = New volume of water - Original volume of water

Volume of rock = 17.0 mL - 11.1 mL

Volume of rock = 5.9 mL

Now we have to determine the density of rock.

Formula used :

\text{Density of rock}=\frac{\text{Mass of rock}}{\text{Volume of rock}}

\text{Density of rock}=\frac{18.3g}{5.9mL}=3.1g.mL

Thus, the density of rock reported should be, 3.1 g/mL
