In an attempt to reduce the extraordinarily long travel times for voyaging to distant stars, some people have suggested travelin

g at close to the speed of light. Suppose you wish to visit the red giant star Betelgeuse, which is 430 lyly away, and that you want your 20,000 kgkg rocket to move so fast that you age only 36 years during the round trip.
A. How fast (v) must the rocket travel relative to earth?
B. How much energy is needed to accelerate the rocket to this speed?
C. How many times larger is this energy than the total energy used by the United States in the year 2000, which was roughly 1.0 x 10^20 J?

Answer:

a) v=0.999124c

b) E=7.566*10^{22}

c) E_a=760 times\ larger

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Distance to Betelgeuse d_b=430ly

Mass of Rocket M_r=20000

Total Time in years traveled T_d=36years

Total energy used by the United States in the year 2000 E_{2000}=1.0*10^20

Generally the equation of speed of rocket v mathematically given by

v=\frac{2d}{\triangle t}

v=860ly/ \triangle t

where

\triangle t=\frac{\triangle t'}{(\sqrt{1-860/ \triangle t)^2}}

\triangle t=\frac{36}{(\sqrt{1-860/ \triangle t)^2}}

\triangle t=\sqrt{(860)^2+(36)^2}

\triangle t=860.7532

Therefore

v=\frac{860ly}{ 860.7532}

v=0.999124c

b)

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

E=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-(v/c)^2} }-1(20000kg)(3*10^8m/s)^2

E=7.566*10^{22}

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

E_a=\frac{E}{E_{2000}}

E_a=\frac{7.566*10^{22}}{1.0*10^{20}}

E_a=760 times\ larger

Answer: The force was 13.92 Newtons.

Explanation:

First, let's recall the second Newton's law:

The net force is equal to the mass times the acceleration, or:

F = m*a

where:

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration.

When the player hits the ball with the bat, he applies a force that accelerates the ball for a small period of time, that increases greatly the speed of the ball.

In this case, we know that:

the mass of the ball is 0.145 kg

The acceleration of the ball is 96m/s^2

Then we can input those values in the above equation to find the force.

F = 0.145kg*96m/s^2 = 13.92 N

The force was 13.92 Newtons.

Imagine a skinny straw in the water, standing right over the hole. The WEIGHT of the water in that straw is the force on the tape. Now, the volume of water in the straw is (1 mm^2) times (20 cm). Once you have the volume, you can use the density and gravity to find the weight. And THAT's the force on the tape. If the tape can't hold that force, then it peels off and the water runs out through the hole. /// This is a pretty hard problem, because it involved mm^2, cm, and m^3. You have to be very very very careful with your units as you work through this one. If you've been struggling with it, I'm almost sure the problem is the units.

4. A net force of 15 N is exerted on a book to cause it to accelerate at a rate of 5 m/s2. Determine the mass of the
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

<h2>3 kg </h2>

Explanation:

The mass of an object given it's force and acceleration can be found by using the formula

m =  \frac{f}{a}  \\

f is the force

a is the acceleration

From the question we have

m =  \frac{15}{5}  = 3 \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>3 kg</h3>

Hope this helps you
