The NASA spacecraft Deep Space I was shut down on December 18, 2001, following a three-year journey to the asteroid Braille and

the comet Borrelly. This spacecraft used a solar-powered ion engine to produce 0.064 ounces of thrust (force) by stripping electrons from neon atoms and accelerating the resulting ions to 70,000 mi/h. The thrust was only as much as the weight of a couple sheets of paper, but the engine operated continuously for 16,000 hours. As a result, the speed of the spacecraft increased by 7900 mi/h. What was the mass of Deep Space I?

Answer:

The mass will be "8.86 lb".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Force

= 70,000 mi/h

Speed

= 7900 mi/h

On applying the Law of momentum, we get

⇒  V_{1}m_{1}=V_{2}m_{2}

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒  70000 = 7900\times mass \ of \ deepspace \ 1

⇒  mass \ of \ deepspace \ 1 = \frac{70000}{7900}

⇒                                    =8.86 \ lb

Which row shows what happens to the temperature of a solid as it melts and what happens to the temperature when
frez [133]

When ice melts, its temperature doesn't change ... ice at 32 degrees becomes water at 32 degrees.

When water boils, its temperature doesn't change ... water at 212 degrees becomes steam at 212 degrees.

The row that says both of these is row-D .

Chromatic aberration occurs when:___.
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

b. a lens does not focus all colors of light to the same place.

Explanation:

Chromatic aberration is a defect of a lens. In this defect, the lens is unable to focus the different wavelengths of the light on a single focal point. It is also known as chromatic distortion and color fringing. It is caused by the dispersion of light while passing through a lens. As a result, the image might become blurred and different colors are observed around its edges. It can be corrected by the use of a combination of converging and diverging lenses.

Hence, the correct option will be:

<u>b. a lens does not focus all colors of light to the same place.</u>
