NASA is designing a Mars-lander that will enter the Martian atmosphere at high speed. To land safely it must slow to a constant
Viktor [21]

Answer:

a) maximum mass of the Mars lander to ensure it can land safely is 200 kg

b) area of the parachute required is 480 m² which is larger than 400 m²

c) area of the parachute should be 12.68 m²

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

V = 20 m/s

A = 200 m²

drag co-efficient CD = 1.855

g = 3.71 m/s²

density of the atmospheric pressure β = 0.01 kg/m³

a. Calculate the maximum mass of the Mars lander to ensure it can land safely?

Drag force FD = 1/2 × CD × β × A × V²

we substitute

FD = 1/2 × 1.855 × 0.01 kg/m × 200 m² × ( 20 m/s )²

FD = 742 N

we know that;

FD = Fg

Fg = gravity force

Fg = mg

so

FD = mg

m = FD/g

we substitute

m = 742 N / 3.71 m/s²

m = 200 kg

Therefore, the maximum mass of the Mars lander to ensure it can land safely is 200 kg

b. The mission designers consider a larger lander with a mass of 480 kg. Show that the parachute required would be larger than 400 m²;

Given that;

M = 480 kg

Show that the parachute required would be larger than 400 m²

we know that;

FD = Fg = Mg = 480 kg × 3.71 m/s²

FD = 1780.8 N

Now, FD = 1/2 × CD × β × A × V², we solve for A

A = FD / 0.5 × CD × β × V²

we substitute

A = 1780.8  / 0.5 × 1.855 × 0.1 × (20)²

A = 1780.8 / 3.71

A = 480 m²

Therefore, area of the parachute required 480 m² which is larger than 400 m²

c. To test the lander before launching it to Mars, it is tested on Earth where g = 9.8 m/s^2 and the atmospheric density is 1.0 kg m-3. How big should the parachute be for the terminal speed to be 20 m/s, if the mass of the lander is 480 kg?

Given that;

g = 9.8 m/s²,

β" = 1 kg/m³

v" = 20 m/s

M" = 480 kg

we know that;

FD = Fg = M"g

FD = 480 kg × 9.8 m/s² = 4704 N

from the expression; FD = 1/2 × CD × β × A × V²

A = FD / 0.5 × CD × β" × V"²

we substitute

A = 4704 / 0.5 × 1.855 × 1 × (20)²

A = 4704 / 371

A = 12.68 m²

Therefore area of the parachute should be 12.68 m²

A 0.20 kg mass attached to the end of a spring causes it to stretch 3.0 cm. What is the spring constant? What is the potential e
SVEN [57.7K]

Given that the mass is m = 0.2 kg and the displacement is x = 3 cm = 0.03 m

We have to find the spring constant and potential energy.

The spring constant can be calculated by the formula

\begin{gathered} F=\text{ kx} \\ mg\text{ = kx} \\ k\text{ = }\frac{mg}{x} \end{gathered}

Here, k is the spring constant.

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity.

Substituting the values, the spring constant will be

\begin{gathered} k=\frac{0.2\times9.8}{0.03} \\ =\text{ 65.33 N/m } \end{gathered}

The potential energy can be calculated as

\begin{gathered} U=\frac{1}{2}kx^2 \\ =\frac{1}{2}\times65.33\text{ }\times(0.03)^2 \\ =\text{ 0.0293 J} \end{gathered}

A boat with a mass of 1000 kg drifts with the current down a straight section of river parallel to the +x+x axis with a speed of
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Our values are defined by,

m=1000kg\\v = 2m/s\\a = 2.7 \angle 45\°

We can express also in a vectorial way, then

v=2\hat{i} \rightarrowno values in \hat{j}

Acceleration as follow,

a= 2.7cos45 \hat{i} + 2.7 sin45 \hat{j}

We know that velocity is given by,

V(t) = v_0+at \rightarrow v_0 = 2

We need to calculate for t=3, then

v(3) = 2\hat{i} +(2.7cos45 \hat{i} + 2.7 sin45 \hat{j})*3

v(3) = (2\hat{i}+3*2.7cos45 \hat{i})+(3*2.7 sin45 \hat{j})

v(3) = (2+3*2.7cos45)\hat{i}+(5.7 sin45 )\hat{j}

v(3) = 7.7\hat{i}+5.7\hat{j}

Our mass is 1000Kg, so the momentum is

P = mv

P= 1000(7.7\hat{i}+5.7\hat{j})

P=7700\hat{i}+5700\hat{j}
