Answer:

  1. \displaystyle(v_i)_y  \approx 29.25\ m/s
  2. \displaystyle(v_i)_x  \approx 41.78\  m/s  
  3. t\approx 5.97 \ \text{s}
  4. \triangle x \approx 304.47 \ \text{m}

Explanation:

Find the vertical component:

  • \displaystyle (v_i)_y =  v_i \cdot sin(\theta)
  • \displaystyle (v_i)_y =  51 \cdot sin(35)
  • \displaystyle (v_i)_y \approx 29.25

Find the horizontal component:

  • \displaystyle (v_i)_x =  v_i \cdot cos(\theta)  
  • \displaystyle (v_i)_x =  51 \cdot cos(35)
  • \displaystyle (v_i)_x \approx 41.78

We can use this constant acceleration kinematic equation to find the time of flight:

  • v_f=v_i+at  

Since we don't know the final velocity of the projectile at the end of its trajectory, we can use our knowledge that the final velocity when the projectile reaches its maximum height = 0 m/s.

Therefore, we will solve for half the total time t and double this at the end.

We are going to use the equation in terms of the y-direction since we know the acceleration in the y-direction = g.

  • 0=51\cdot sin(35) + (-9.8)t

Subtract the y-component of the initial velocity from both sides.

  • -51\cdot sin(35) = -9.8t

Divide both sides by -9.8 to solve for t.

  • t=2.984938597

Let's double this time to find the total time of flight.

  • 2t \approx 5.97

The time of flight is approximately 5.97 seconds.

Now we can use this kinematic equation to find the displacement in the x-direction:

  • \displaystyle \triangle x = v_i t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

Using our knowledge, we can assume that the acceleration in the x-direction is 0 m/s² since the question does not specify air resistance.

  • \displaystyle \triangle x=(51)(5.97) + \frac{1}{2} (0)(5.97)^2
  • \triangle x = (51)(5.97)
  • \triangle x = 304.47  

The displacement in the x-direction is approximately 304.47 meters.

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Kepler's third law as well as the calculation of distances in orbits with eccentricities.

Kepler's third law tells us that

T^2 = \frac{4\pi^2}{GM}a^3

Where

T= Period

G= Gravitational constant

M = Mass of the sun

a= The semimajor axis of the comet's orbit

The period in years would be given by

T= 1941-550\\T= 1391y(\frac{31536000s}{1y})\\T=4.3866*10^{10}s

PART A) Replacing the values to find a, we have

a^3= \frac{T^2 GM}{4\pi^2}

a^3 = \frac{(4.3866*10^{10})^2(6.67*10^{-11})(1.989*10^{30})}{4\pi^2}

a^3 = 6.46632*10^{39}

a = 1.86303*10^{13}m

Therefore the semimajor axis is 1.86303*10^{13}m

PART B) If the semi-major axis a and the eccentricity e of an orbit are known, then the periapsis and apoapsis distances can be calculated by

R = a(1-e)

R = 1.86303*10^{13}(1-0.997)

R= 5.58*10^{10}m

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

(A) Impulse = 9Ns

(B) F = 1286N

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum = m(v-u)

v = 0 (the hand comes to a stop)

u = -10m/s

Mass = 0.9kg

Impulse = 0.9 ×(0- (-10))

= 9Ns

(B) F×t = Impulse

F = Impulse/ t

t = 7ms = 7×10-³

F = 9/ (7×10-³)

F = 1286N.

Mila [183]

Even though the object is weightless, it would need inertia, I.e, you pushing it or any form of transportation. So you would still have to push that 500kg to just keep it moving in space. Say if it were a planet with less gravitational force, it would be weightless.
