A space ship has four thrusters positioned on the top and bottom, and left and right as shown below. The thrusters can be operat

ed independently or together to help the ship navigate in all directions.
Initially, the Space Probe is floating towards the East, as shown below, with a velocity, v. The pilot then turns on thruster #2.

Select one:

a.
Space ship will have a velocity to the West and will be speeding up.

b.
Space ship will have a velocity to the East and will be speeding up.

c.
Space ship will have a velocity to the East and will be slowing down.

d.
Space ship will have a velocity to the West and will be slowing down.

e.
Ship experiences no change in motion.

Answer:

The correct answer is - c.  Spaceship will have a velocity to the East and will be slowing down.

Explanation:

In this case, if turned on thruster #2 then it will exert force on the west side as thruster 2 is on the east side and it can be understood by Newton's third law that says each action has the same but opposite reaction.

As the spaceship engine applies force on the east side then according to the law the exhauster gas applies on towards west direction. It will try to decrease the velocity of the spaceship however, the direction of floating still be east side initally.

The distance covered is simply the length of the entire trip, which is 12m + 16m, or 28m.

The displacement is the distance from the starting point to the ending point along with the direction of the net motion. The dog walks 12m east then 16m west, so its resultant displacement is 4m west.

The free-fall acceleration at the surface of planet 1 is 22 m/s^2. The radius and the mass of planet 2 are twice those of planet
algol13

Answer:

g₂ = 11 m/s²

Explanation:

The value of free-fall acceleration on the surface of a planet is given by the following formula:

g = \frac{Gm}{r^2}

where,

g = free-fall acceleration

G = Universal Gravitational Constant

m = mass of the planet

r = radius of planet

FOR PLANET 1:

g_1 = \frac{Gm_1}{r_1^2}\\\\\frac{Gm_1}{r_1^2} = 22 m/s^2 --------------------- equation (1)

FOR PLANET 2:

g_2 = \frac{Gm_2}{r_2^2}\\\\g_2 = \frac{G(2m_1)}{(2r_1)^2}\\\\g_2 = \frac{1}{2}\frac{Gm_1}{r_1^2}\\\\

using equation (1):

g_2 = \frac{g_1}{2}\\\\g_2 = \frac{22\ m/s^2}{2}

<u>g₂ = 11 m/s²</u>

A cube is 4.4 cm on a side, with one corner at the origin. Part 1 (a) What is the unit vector pointing from the origin to the di
Sidana [21]

Answer:

(a) \hat{A} = \frac{\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}}{\sqrt{3}}

(b) \theta = 85.44^{\circ}

Solution:

As per the question:

Side of the cube, a = 4.4 cm

Coordinates of the diagonally opposite corner, A = <4.4, 4.4, 4.4> cm

Now,

(a) To calculate the unit vector:

\hat{A} = \frac{\vec{A}}{|A|}

\hat{A} = \frac{4.4\hat{i} + 4.4\hat{j} + 4.4\hat{k}}{\sqrt{()4.4}^{2} + (4.4)^{2} + (4.4)^{2}}

\hat{A} = \frac{4.4(\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k})}{4.4\sqrt{3}}

\hat{A} = \frac{\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}}{\sqrt{3}}

(b) To calculate the angle between the two vectors say A and A' is given by:

\vec{A}\cdot \vec{A'} = \vec{A}\vec{A'}cos\theta                      

\theta = cos^{- 1}(\frac{\vec{A}\cdot \vec{A'}}{\vec{A}\vec{A'}})        (1)

Now,

The coordinates of the diagonally opposite corner, A' is <0, 0, 1> cm

Thus

\vec{A'} = 0\hat{i} + 0\hat{j} + 1\hat{k} = \hat{k}

Now,

Using equation (1) :

\theta = cos^{- 1}(\frac{(\frac{\hat{i} + \hat{j} + \hat{k}}{\sqrt{3}})\cdot \hat{k}}{|A||A'|})

|A||A'| = (\sqrt{4.4^{2} +4.4^{2} + 4.4^{2}})(\sqrt{0^{2} + 0^{2} + 0^{2}}) = 7.261

Thus

\theta = cos^{- 1}(\frac{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}}{7.261})

\theta = cos^{- 1}(0.07946) = 85.44^{\circ}

A helicopter pulls upward by means of a rope on a 250 kg crate to lift it UNIFORMLY. What is the net force on the crate?
Cloud [144]

Answer:

The net force = 0

Explanation:

The given information includes;

The mass of the crate = 250 kg

The way the helicopter lifts the crate = Uniformly (constant rate (speed), no acceleration)

In order to pull the crate upwards, the helicopter has to provide a force equivalent to the weight of the crate keeping the helicopter on the ground.

The weight of the crate = The mass of the crate × The acceleration due gravity acting on the crate

The weight of the crate, F_w↓ = 250 kg × 9.81 m/s² = 2,452.5 N

The force the helicopter should provide to just lift the crate, F_{(helicopter)}↑ = The weight of the crate = 2,452.5 N

The net force, F_{(net)} = F_{(helicopter)}↑ - F_w↓ = 2,452.5 N - 2,452.5 N = 0

The net force = 0.
