A space probe has two engines. Each generates the same amount of force when fired, and the directions of these forces can be in-

dependently adjusted. When the engines are fired simultaneously and each applies its force in the same direction, the probe, starting from rest, takes 28 s to travel a certain distance. How long does it take to travel the same distance, again starting from rest, if the engines are fired simultaneously and the forces that they apply to the probe are perpendicular

Answer:

t = 39.60 s

Explanation:

Let's take a careful look at this interesting exercise.

In the first case the two motors apply the force in the same direction

            F = m a₀          

           a₀ = F / m

with this acceleration it takes t = 28s to travel a distance, starting from rest

           x = v₀ t + ½ a t²

           x = ½ a₀ t²

           t² = 2x / a₀

           28² = 2x /a₀          (1)

in a second case the two motors apply perpendicular forces

we can analyze this situation as two independent movements, one in each direction

           

in the direction of axis a, there is a motor so its force is F/2

               

the acceleration on this axis is

          a = F/2m

          a = a₀ / 2

so if we use the distance equation

             x = v₀ t + ½ a t²

as part of rest v₀ = 0

             x = ½ (a₀ / 2) t²

             

let's clear the time

             t² = (2x / a₀)  2

we substitute the let of equation 1

             t² = 28² 2

             t = 28 √2

             t = 39.60 s

You need a 450 microgram sample of gold, but you only have a mass balance that measures in decigrams. Convert the amount of gold
sveta [45]

The amount of gold in decigrams if 450 micrograms is needed is 4.5 × 10-³ decigrams.

<h3>How to convert micrograms to decigrams?</h3>

According to this question, 450 micrograms of a sample of gold is needed but we only have a mass balance that measures in decigrams.

This means that we are to convert the amount of gold you need to decigrams by comparing the exponents.

The conversion factor of micrograms to decigrams is as follows:

1 micrograms = 1 × 10-⁵ decigrams

This means 450 micrograms is equivalent to 450 × 1 × 10-⁵ = 4.5 × 10-³ decigrams

Therefore, the amount of gold in decigrams if 450 micrograms is needed is 4.5 × 10-³ decigrams.

describe an experiment to show how the frequency of a note emitted by a vibrating string depends on the tension of the string
mart [117]
Easy ! 

Take any musical instrument with strings ... a violin, a guitar, etc.

The length of the vibrating part of the strings doesn't change ...
it's the distance from the 'bridge' to the 'nut'.

Pluck any string.  Then, slightly twist the tuning peg for that string,
and pluck the string again.

Twisting the peg only changed the string's tension; the length
couldn't change.

-- If you twisted the peg in the direction that made the string slightly
tighter, then your second pluck had a higher pitch than your first one.

-- If you twisted the peg in the direction that made the string slightly
looser, then your second pluck had a lower pitch than the first one.
