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

<span>Every 10s 5 waves; t1 = 2s for each wave

A 15 kg runaway grocery cart runs into a spring with spring constant 230 N/m and compresses it by 56 cm .What was the speed of t
liubo4ka [24]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of kinetic energy and elastic potential energy. Thus we will have that the kinetic energy is

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

And the potential energy is

PE = \frac{1}{2} kx^2

Here,

m = mass

v = Velocity

x = Displacement

k = Spring constant

There is equilibrium, then,

KE = PE

\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} kx^2

Our values are given as,

x=0.56m\\k=230N/m\\m=15kg

Replacing we have that

\frac{1}{2} (15)v^2 = \frac{1}{2} (230)(0.56)^2

v = 2.19m/s

Therefore the speed of the cart is 2.19m/s

How have the competing explanations' experiments on atoms affected the development of the atomic model?
zaharov [31]

Answer:Competing explanations' experiments on atoms gave a perfect modal of an atom

Explanation

There is a long story of atom. Different scientist gave different theories related to atomic modal but no one individually gave a perfect modal they perfect each other work and finally we got a perfect modal of atom.

Here is a short story of atom

in 400 B.C.E, Democritus was the first philosopher who gave the concept of atom. He believes that everything is made up of tiny spheres  and these spheres are known as atoms.

in 1803, Dalton said that atoms of an element are similar. For example all atoms of carbon are similar.

in 1904 J. J. Thomson proposed that atom is sphere in which positively charged matter is filled and electrons are randomly scattered in that positively charged matter.

in 1911, Rutherford gave the concept of nucleus he believed that at the center of atoms all positively charged  particles are present and this center is known as nucleus. He said that negatively charge electrons revolves around the nucleus in particular orbit.

In 1913, Niels Bohr gave a new model he believes that atomic model is similar to planetary modal. He believed that the electrons in an atom revolves around  the nucleus in sets of orbits in a similar manner like the planets revolves around the sun.

In 1919, Rutherford gave the concept of proton.  

In 1932, James Chadwick gives the concept of neutron.

In this way different scientist gave different theories related to atoms and finally they all gave a perfect modal of atom.

Calculate the current in a circuit if 500 C of charge passes through it in 10 minutes. *
Sloan [31]

Answer:

Choice a. Approximately 0.83\; \rm A on average.

Explanation:

The electric current through a wire is the rate at which electric charge flows through a cross-section of this wire.

Assume that electric charge of size Q flowed through a wire cross-section over a period of time t. The average current in that wire would be:

\displaystyle I = \frac{Q}{t}.

For this question:

  • Q = 500\; \rm C, whereas
  • t = 10\; \rm \text{minutes}.

Therefore, the average current in this circuit would be:

\displaystyle I = \frac{Q}{t} = \frac{500\; \rm C}{10\; \text{minutes}} = 50\; \rm C /\text{minute}.

However, the units in the choices are all in \rm A (for Amperes.) One Ampere is equal to one \rm C / \text{second}. It will take some unit conversations to change the unit of I = 50\; \rm C/ \text{minute} (coulombs-per-minute) to coulombs-per-second.

\begin{aligned}I &= 50\; \rm C/ \text{minute} \\ &= \frac{50\; \rm C}{1\; \rm \text{minute}} \times \frac{1 \; \text{minute}}{60\; \rm \text{seconds}} \approx 0.83\; \rm C/ \text{second} = 0.83 \; \rm A\end{aligned}.

Hence, the most accurate choice here would be choice a.
