A spaceship is traveling through deep space to a space station and needs to make a course correction to go around a nebula. The

captain orders the ship to travel 2.3 106 kilometers before turning 70° and traveling 1.5 106 kilometers to reach the space station. If the captain had not ordered a course correction, what would have been the magnitude and direction of the path of the spaceship if it had traveled to the space station through the nebula?

Answer:

Explanation:

Using the given values

Let

Px= 2.3 x 10^6, Py=0, Qx=1.5x10^6cos(70),

Qy= 1.5x10^6sin(70)

So let

Hx= Px+Qx=2.813 x 10^6, Hy=Py+Qy=1.401 x 10^6

Magnitude = √ ((2.813 x 10^6)^2+(1.401 x 10^6)^2)= 3.14 x 10^6

To find direction

tan စ = Hy/Hx = 1.401/2.813= 0.4980

စ = 26.5°

A box, initially at rest, has 36.7 N of force exerted on it for 2.81 s. If the box has a mass of 7.41 kg, what was its velocity
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

13.91 m/s

Explanation:

First we need to find the acceleration:

Acceleration = Force/mass

Acceleration = 36.7N/7.41 kg

Acceleration = 4.95 m/s² (rounded to two decimal places)

Then we find the velocity:

Velocity = Acceleration * Time

Velocity = 4.95 m/s² * 2.81 s

Velocity = 13.91 m/s (rounded to two decimal places)

Find the following answer based on the image.
saul85 [17]

<u>We are given:</u>

Mass of Neptune = 1.03 * 10²⁶ kg

Distance from the center of Neptune (r) = 2.27 * 10⁷

now, computing the value of the acceleration due to gravity (g)

<u>Finding g:</u>

We know the formula:

g = G(mass of planet) / (r)²

g = [6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ * 1.03*10²⁶] / (2.27*10⁷)                      [since G is 6.67*10⁻¹¹]

g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵) / (5.15 * 10¹⁴)

which can be rewritten as:

g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵ * 10⁻¹⁴) / 5.15

g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵⁻¹⁴) / 5.15

g = (6.87/5.15) * 10

g = 1.34 * 10

g = 13.4 m/s² <em>(approx)</em>

Light striking a metal surface causes electrons to be emitted from the metal via the photoelectric effect.In a particular experi
ANEK [815]

The number of electrons emitted from the metal per second increases if the intensity of the incident light is increased.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

As a result of photoelectric effect, electrons are emitted by the light incident on a metal surface. The emitted electrons count and its kinetic energy can measure as the function of light intensity and frequency. Like physicists, at the 20th century beginning, it should be expected that the light wave's energy (its intensity) will be transformed into the kinetic energy of emitted electrons.

In addition, the electrons count emitting from metal must vary with light wave frequency. This frequency relationship was expected because the electric field oscillates due to the light wave and the metal electrons react to different frequencies. In other words, the number of electrons emitted was expected to be frequency dependent and their kinetic energy should be dependent on the intensity (constant wavelength) of light.

Thus, the maximum in kinetic energy of electrons emitted increases with increase in light's frequency and is experimentally independent of light intensity. So, the number of emitted electrons is proportionate to the intensity of the incident light.
