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

Physicist Max Planck showed how objects like stars give off different colors based on their temperature. What color are the hott
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

the brightest found are Blue - White with

Explanation:

The energy emission of objects increases with their temperature, specifically Wien described the process in an expression

 

          \lambda_{maximum} T = 2,898 10⁻³

With this expression we can find the temperature of the stars by the color they emit.

Specifically the Sun has a color of 550 nm which corresponds to 5400K

bright stars have a BLUE color corresponding to 7500K

the brightest found are Blue - White with a temperature of 20000K

A circuit contains a single 270-pf capacitor hooked across a battery. it is desired to store four times as much energy in a comb
yan [13]
The energy stored by a system of capacitors is given by
U= \frac{1}{2}C_{eq} V^2
where Ceq is the equivalent capacitance of the system, and V is the voltage applied.

In the formula, we can see there is a direct proportionality between U and C. This means that if we want to increase the energy stored by 4 times, we have to increase C by 4 times, if we keep the same voltage.

Calling C_1 = 270 pF the capacitance of the original capacitor, we can solve the problem by asking that, adding a new capacitor with C_x, the new equivalent capacitance of the system C_{eq} must be equal to 4C_1. If we add the new capacitance X in parallel, the equivalent capacitance of the new system is the sum of the two capacitance
C_{eq} = C_1 + C_x
and since Ceq must be equal to 4 C1, we can write
C_1+C_x = 4C_1
from which we find
C_x=3C_1=3 \cdot 270 pF=810 pF
