You are in a spaceship far outside our solar system. Inside your spaceship there is not gravity and no air (and therefore no air

resistance). If you toss a ball across the spaceship, how do Newton's laws predict its motion will change as it moves?

According to Newton's first law, without any forces bodies save their state of rest or motion. Since you tossed a ball, it will continue going along direction of the force you initially exerted in a straight line. What would happen after collision with the spaceship's walls is frankly speaking unpredictable because you don't know configuration of the surfaces that the ball will hit, but what we can say is that after each collision the ball will move in straight lines.

Newtons first law: The ball will go at constant speed without stopping

Newtons third law: The ball will also push back at you causing you to go back as well

Suppose you designed a spacecraft to work by photon pressure. The sail was a completely absorbing fabric of area 1.0 km2 and you
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

(a) F = 6.14 *10⁻⁴ N

(b) P = 6.14* 10⁻¹⁰ Pa

(c) t = 27.2 min

Explanation:

Area of sail A = 1.0 km² = 1.0 * 10⁶m²

Wavelength of light  λ = 650 nm = 650 * 10⁻⁹ m

Rate of impact of photons R = 1 mol/s = 6.022 * 10²³ photons/s

(a)

Momentum of each photon is Ρ = h/λ = 6.625 * 10⁻³⁴ / 650 * 10⁻⁹

      = 1.0192 * 10⁻²⁷ kg.m/s

Since the photons are absorbed completely, in every collision the above momentum is transferred to the sail.  

Momentum transferred to the sail per second is product of rate of impact of photons and momentum transferred by each photon.

dp/dt = R * h/ λ

This is the force acting on the sail.

F = R * h/λ = 6.022 * 10²³ * 1.0192 * 10⁻²⁷ = 6.14 *10⁻⁴ N

F = 6.14 *10⁻⁴ N

b)

Pressure exerted by the radiation on the sail = Force acting on the sail / Area of the sail

P = F/A =  6.14 * 10⁻⁴ / 1.0 * 10⁶ =  6.14* 10⁻¹⁰ Pa

P = 6.14* 10⁻¹⁰ Pa

c)  

Acceleration of spacecraft a = F/m = 6.14 * 10⁻⁴ /1.0 = 6.14 * 10⁻⁴m/s²

As the spacecraft starts from rest, initial speed u=0,m/s ,

final speed is u = 1.0 m/s after time t  

v = u+at  

t = 1.0 - 0/ 6.14 * 10⁻⁴ =  1629s = 27.2 min

t = 27.2 min

What is the Isotope notation for a Lithium atom?
Serggg [28]
Lithium has five isotopes, and each will have different notation. Lithium-7 is commonly used in salt and nuclear reactors. .ZAX , where X is the atomic symbol for the element, here Li for lithium, Z is the mass number, or the total number of protons and neutrons, and A is the atomic number, or the number of protons

Acceleration is defined as a change in velocity over time. If a runner increases velocity
Anton [14]

Answer:

a = 0,1[m/s^2]

Explanation:

First we need to indentify the initial data.

And using this kinematic equation we have:

v = 4[m/s]\\v_{0}= 2 [m/s] \\t = 20[s]\\\\v= v_{0}+a*t\\a=\frac{v-v_{0}}{t} \\a= \frac{4-2}{20} \\a=0.1[m/s^{2}]
