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.

(b) A Blu-ray laser has a power of 5 milliwatts (1 watt = 1 J s−1). How many photons of light are produced by the laser in 1 hou
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

The number of photons of light produced by the laser in 1 hour is

1 Photon / hour

Explanation:

Number of photons of light produced is given by

Number of photons = \frac{Power}{Energy}

From the question,

Power = 5 mW (milliwatts) = 5 × 10⁻³ W

Since 1 Watt = 1 Js⁻¹

Then, 5 × 10⁻³ W = 5 × 10⁻³ Js⁻¹

For the Energy,

As given from the question

Energy=(Power)x(time)

Time = 1 hour = (1 × 60 × 60) s = 3600 s

∴ Energy = 5 × 10⁻³ Js⁻¹ x 1 x 3600s

Energy =18.0 J

Now for the Number of photons produced,

Number of photons = \frac{Power}{Energy}

Power = 5 × 10⁻³ Js⁻¹ = 0.005 Js⁻¹

Number of photons = \frac{0.005}{18}

Number of photons = 2.78 × 10⁻⁴ Photons / sec

This is the number of photons produced in 1 second.

For the number of photons produced in 1 hour, we will multiply the result by 3600

(NOTE: 1 sec = \frac{1}{3600} hour)

Number of photons = 2.78 × 10⁻⁴ Photons / sec

= 2.78 × 10⁻⁴ × 3600 Photons / hour

= 1.0008 Photons / hour

≅ 1 Photon / hour

Hence, the number of photons of light produced by the laser in 1 hour is

1 Photon / hour
