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

A 3.9 kg block is pushed along a horizontal floor by a force of magnitude 30 N at a downward angle θ = 40°. The coefficient of k

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The frictional force $F_{fri} =$ 6.446 N

The acceleration of the block a = 6.04 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

Explanation:

Mass of the block = 3.9 kg

$\theta = 40$ °

$\mu$ = 0.22

(a). The frictional force is given by

$F_{fri} = \mu R_{N}$

$R_{N} = mg \cos \theta$

$R_{N} =$ 3.9 × 9.81 × $\cos 40$

$R_{N} =$ 29.3 N

Therefore the frictional force

$F_{fri} =$ 0.22 × 29.3

$F_{fri} =$ 6.446 N

(b). Block acceleration is given by

$F_{net} = F - F_{fri}$

F = 30 N

$F_{fri}$ = 6.446 N

$F_{net}$ = 30 - 6.446

$F_{net}$ = 23.554 N

The net force acting on the block is given by

$F_{net} = ma$

23.554 = 3.9 × a

a = 6.04 $\frac{m}{s^{2} }$

This is the acceleration of the block.

______ is the percent ionization of a weak acid in water increases as the concentration of acid decreases.

Nuetrik [128]

The ratio of concentration of ionized acid to the initial concentration of acid multiplied by 100 will give the percent ionization of a weak acid in water increases as the concentration of acid decreases.

Explanation:

Percent ionization is used for quantifying the number of ions present in the weak acid when dissolved in a solution. So it is similar to the pKa value. The percent ionization value can be determined as negative log of dissociation constant. Also the as the number of ions increases in weak acid, the concentration of acid will be decreasing . It can be calculated using the formula for percent ionization as follows:

$Percent ionization = \frac{Ionized acid concentration}{Initial concentration of acid} * 100$

As the water volume or concentration increases, the acid will get diluted much more thus leading to decrease in the concentration of acid.

So the ratio of concentration of ionized acid to the initial concentration of acid multiplied by 100 will give the percent ionization of a weak acid in water increases as the concentration of acid decreases.

An 67-kg jogger is heading due east at a speed of 2.3 m/s. A 70-kg jogger is heading 61 ° north of east at a speed of 1.3 m/s. F

ololo11 [35]

Answer

given,

mass of jogger = 67 kg

speed in east direction = 2.3 m/s

mass of jogger 2 = 70 Kg

speed = 1.3 m/s in 61 ° north of east.

jogger one

$P_1 = m_1 v_1 \hat{i}$

$P_1 = 67 \times 2.3\hat{i}$

$P_1 = 154.1 \hat{i}$

$P_2 = m_2 v_2 \hat{i} +m_2 v_2 \hat{j}$

$P_2 = 70\times v cos \theta \hat{i} +70\times v sin \theta \hat{j}$

$P_2 = 70\times 1.3 cos 61^0 \hat{i} +70\times 1.3 sin 61^0\hat{j}$

$P_2 = 44.12\hat{i} +79.59\hat{j}$

now

P = P₁ + P₂

$P = 198.22 \hat{i} +79.59 \hat{j}$

magnitude

$P = \sqrt{198.22^2 + 79.59^2}$

$P =213.60 kg.m/s$

$\theta = tan^{-1}\dfrac{79.59}{198.22}$

$\theta = 21.87$

the angle is $\theta = 21.87$ north of east
