You are on an interstellar mission from the Earth to the 8,7 light-years distant star Sirius. Your spaceship can travel with 70%

the speed of light and has a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 6 m at the front surface and a length of 25 m. You have to cross the interstellar medium with an approximated density of 1 hydrogen atom/m3 (a) Calculate the time it takes your spaceship to reach Sirius. (b) Determine the mass of interstellar gas that collides with your spaceship during the mission. Note:use 1,673x 10^-27 kg as proton mass

Answer:

Time = 12.43 years

Mass = 4.71.43kg

Explanation:

Given the following :

Distance = 8.7 light years

Speed = 70% the speed of light

Diameter = 6m

Lengtg = 25m

Density = 1 hydrogen atom/m^3

Mass of proton(Me) = 1.673x 10^-27

A.) time it takes your spaceship to reach Sirius :

From the relation: Speed = (distance / time)

Time = distance / speed

Time = (70/100) × 1 light year

Distance = 8.7 light years

Time = 8.7 / 0.7 = 12.4285 years

Time = 12.43 years

B.) Mass of inter-stellar gas that collides with the spaceship can be calcuted by finding the product of the surface area of the cylindrical space ship and the mass of proton.

That is ;

surface area * mass of proton

Surface area of a cylinder = 2πrh + πr^2×Me

= 2πrh + Me×πr^2)

=( 2 × 22/7 × 3 × 25) + (22/7 × 3^2 × 1.673 * 10^-27)

= 2× 235.714 + 28.285) × 1.673 * 10^-27

= 471.428 + 47.31 * 10^-27

= 471.428 + 4.73 × 10^-26

= 4.71.43kg approximately

A 70.9-kg boy and a 43.2-kg girl, both wearing skates face each other at rest on a skating rink. The boy pushes the girl, sendin
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of boy m_b=70.9\ kg

mass of girl m_g=43.2\ kg

speed of girl after push v_g=4.64\ m/s

Suppose speed of boy after push is v_b

initially momentum of system is zero so final momentum is also zero because momentum is conserved

P_i=P=f

0=m_b\cdot v_b+m_g\cdot v_g

v_b=-\frac{m_g}{m_b}\times v_g

v_b=-\frac{43.2}{70.9}\times 4.64  

v_b=-2.82\ m/s

i.e. velocity of boy is 2.82 m/s towards west

Sound waves have relatively long wavelengths. We can hear people around the corner before we can see them. Which wave behavior d
pogonyaev
I'd say diffraction since sound waves can bend around objects like corners. Let's say you're in the hallway and you can hear sound coming from a door. The sound waves diffract around the door and spread out into the hallway, making it possible for you to hear.  
Also, you can hear it before you see it because light waves are shorter than sound waves and hardly diffract around doors.

A 7.7 kg sphere makes a perfectly inelastic collision with a second sphere initially at rest. The composite system moves with a
klemol [59]

Answer:

15.4 kg.

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

mu+m'u' = V(m+m').................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the first sphere, m' = mass of the second sphere, u = initial velocity of the first sphere, u' = initial velocity of the second sphere, V = common velocity of both sphere.

Given: m = 7.7 kg, u' = 0 m/s (at rest)

Let: u = x m/s, and V = 1/3x m/s

Substitute into equation 1

7.7(x)+m'(0) = 1/3x(7.7+m')

7.7x = 1/3x(7.7+m')

7.7 = 1/3(7.7+m')

23.1 = 7.7+m'

m' = 23.1-7.7

m' = 15.4 kg.

Hence the mass of the second sphere = 15.4 kg
