At a time when mining asteroids has become feasible, astronauts have connected a line between their 3460-kg space tug and a 6430

-kg asteroid. They pull on the asteroid with a force of 366 N. Initially the tug and the asteroid are at rest, 493 m apart. How much time does it take for the ship and the asteroid to meet?

Answer:

77.8s

Explanation:

Let d distance between the asteroid and space tug

So;d=Xtug+Xspace

Xtug=VtT+0.5atT^2

Xspace=VsT+0.5asT^2

Since Vt=Vs=0 initial velocity

Then

d=0.5(atT^2+asT^2)

T^2( at+as)=2d

T=√(2d/at+as)

But force F = mass M*acceleration a

Hence at=Ft/mt ,as=Fs/ms

But note Ft=F=Fs since the Same force acts on it

Hence T=√( 2d/F(1/mt+1/Ms))

T=√(2*493/366(1/3460+1/6430)

T=√(986/0.1627)=√(6060.195)=77.8s

If the length of a building is 2 1 2 times the width and each dimension is increased by 7 ft, then the perimeter is 266 ft. Find
N76 [4]

Answer:

The original dimensions of the building is 95 ft × 38 ft.

Explanation:

Let the original length be 'l' and original width be 'w'.

Given:

Original length (l) = 2\frac{1}{2}\times original\ width

Original width = 'w'.

So, l=2\frac{1}{2}w=\frac{5}{2}w

Now, as per question:

Length and width is increased by 7 ft.

So, new length (l') = l+7=\frac{5w}{2}+7

New width (w') = w+7

New perimeter (P) = 266 ft

Perimeter is given as:

P=2(l' +w')\\\\266=2(\frac{5w}{2}+w)\\\\\frac{266}{2}=\frac{5w+2w}{2}\\\\266=7w\\\\w=\frac{266}{7}=38\ ft

Therefore, original width = 38 ft.

Original length is, l=\frac{5\times 38}{2}=\frac{190}{2}=95\ ft

Hence, the original dimensions of the building is 95 ft × 38 ft.

Deffense [45]

Johannes Kepler contributed to the study of planets : He provided mathematical support for the heliocentric model.

<h3>What is Kepler's first law of planetary motion?</h3>

Kepler's first law of planetary motion states that the planets revolve around the Sun in orbits elliptical in shape with the Sun at its one of the focus.

As the planets rotate around the Sun, the relative distance between the Sun and planets increases and decreases.

The heliocentric model in which the Earth and planets revolve around the Sun at the center of the universe. Johannes gave the mathematical calculations of this model.

Thus, last option is correct.

What is the change in velocity of a 15 kg object that experiences a 5 N force for 0.3 seconds?
alukav5142 [94]

Hello!

Δv = 0.1 m/s

Use the equation F = m · a to solve for the acceleration:

5 = 15 · a

a = 1/3

The equation to solve for acceleration can be rewritten to solve for the change in velocity:

Δv / t = a

Δv = at

We are given the acceleration and time, therefore:

Δv = (1/3)(0.3)

Δv = 0.1 m/s
