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

The spectra of most stars are dark-line spectra because ________.
pav-90 [236]
Because dark line spectra result from passing white light through ionized gasses and plasmas, which is what the atmosphere of stars are made of.  These frequencies are scattered by the star's atmosphere as it leaves the surface (photosphere) of the star, and don't make it to earth.

An iron atom (Fe) has 26 protons in it. If the atom has 20 electrons in it, explain what type of charge it has and how you can t
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation.

Explanation:

The atom has a nucleus, where the protons and neutrons, which are the subatomic particles with the highest mass, are located. Practically all the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus.Protons have a positive electrical charge, while neutrons have no charge.

Electrons move around the nucleus with other negatively charged particles.

An iron atom (Fe) has 26 protons and 20 electrons in it.  That is, there are 6 more protons than electrons. As mentioned, protons are positively charged. So <u><em>the iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation</em></u>.
