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.

What does the area between the line and the x-axis represent on a velocity vs. time graph?
Finger [1]

Answer:

It has been learned in this lesson that the area bounded by the line and the axes of a velocity-time graph is equal to the displacement of an object during that particular time period. ... Once calculated, this area represents the displacement of the object.

Stolb23 [73]

Answer: f=150cm in water and f=60cm in air.

Explanation: Focal length is a measurement of how strong light is converged or diverged by a system. To find the variable, it can be used the formula:

\frac{1}{f} = (nglass - ni)(\frac{1}{R1} - \frac{1}{R2}).

nglass is the index of refraction of the glass;

ni is the index of refraction of the medium you want, water in this case;

R1 is the curvature through which light enters the lens;

R2 is the curvature of the surface which it exits the lens;

Substituting and calculating for water (nwater = 1.3):

\frac{1}{f} = (1.5 - 1.3)(\frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{15})

\frac{1}{f} = 0.2(\frac{1}{30})

f = \frac{30}{0.2} = 150

For air (nair = 1):

\frac{1}{f} = (1.5 - 1)(\frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{15})

f = \frac{30}{0.5} = 60

In water, the focal length of the lens is f = 150cm.

In air, f = 60cm.
