A: particles are more spread out in gas
<span>c. They help discard some myths about objects in space.
When we learn something new, then we know more stuff,
and that helps us avoid ignorance and superstition.
The REAL question is:
</span><span>Why should we continue to send robotic spacecrafts,
and NOT spacecrafts piloted by people ?</span>
Answer:
a) 23.51 m/s
b) 1.07 kg
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Kinetic energy, K = 295 J
Momentum, p = 25.1 kgm/s
a) The kinetic energy of a body is given as:

where m = mass of the body and v = speed of the body
We know that momentum is given as:
p = mv
Therefore:
K = 1/2 * pv
=> v = 2K / p
v = (2 * 295) / 25.1 = 23.51 m/s
The velocity of the body at that instant is 23.51 m/s.
b) Momentum is given as:
p = mv
=> m = p / v
m = 25.1 / 23.51 = 1.07 kg
The mass of the body at that instant is 1.07 kg
