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.

Which of the following objects has more kinetic energy than it does potential energy? Select the correct answer below:______1.a
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The pendulum of the clock.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The kinetic energy is the energy associated with the velocity of the object. The potential energy is the energy associated with the position of the object. In the objects listed in the question, only one object is moving: the pendulum of the clock (assuming that the clock is functioning). If the clock functions, the pendulum is moving when it is at the lowest point of its arc of motion and with maximum velocity. All potential energy that the pendulum stored when it reached the highest height, is transformed into kinetic energy at the lowest point. Thus, at that point, the object has more kinetic energy than potential energy.

What is the energy of a 5 kg object that is held at a height of 3 m above the ground?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

a 5 kilogram mass, at a height of 3 meters, while acted on by Earth's gravity would have 147.15 Joules of potential energy, PE = 3kg * 9.81 m/s2 * 5m = 147.15 J.
