Answer:
a) 
b) 
c) 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
Distance to Betelgeuse 
Mass of Rocket 
Total Time in years traveled 
Total energy used by the United States in the year 2000 
Generally the equation of speed of rocket v mathematically given by


where




Therefore


b)
Generally the equation of the energy E required to attain prior speed mathematically given by


c)Generally the equation of the energy
required to accelerate the rocket mathematically given by



Answer:
V = a * t = 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.3 s = 22.5 m/s velocity after 2.3 s
S = 1/2 g t^2 since initial speed is zero
S = 1/2 * 9.8 m/s^2 * 5.29 s^2 = 25.9 m
Kinetic energy has nothing to do with anything other than motion of the particle.
When a particle with velocity v collides another particle(suppose it is at rest for simplication), assuming that there is perfectly elastic collision between them, the velocity of particle which was at rest becomes mv/M ( assuming mass of particle in motion to be m and at rest to be M) from convervation of linear momentum. And all this transfer of energy happens in a fraction of seconds which is not visible to naked eyes.
Hence 1st option is correct!
Answer:
17.71N/m
Explanation:
The period of the spring is expressed according to the expression;

m is the mass of the object
k is the force constant
Given
m = 5.50kg
T = 3.50s
Substitute into the formula;

Hence the force constant of the spring is 17.71N/m
