A 7750 kg space probe, moving nose-first toward Jupiter at 179 m/s relative to the Sun, fires its rocket engine, ejecting 72.0 k

Reika [66]

Answer:

179.47m/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum

m1u1 + m2u2 = (m1+m2)v

m1 and m2 are the masses

u1 and u2 are the initial velocities

v is the final velocity

Substitute

7750(179)+72(230) = (7750+72)v

1,387,250+16560 = 7822v

1,403,810 = 7822v

v = 1,403,810/7822

v= 179.47m/s

Hence the final velocity of the probe is 179.47m/s

A hydraulic machine can be used to lift extremely heavy objects. Why is the fluid in the hydraulic machine a liquid rather than

Sauron [17]

Hi,

The force that acts on hydraulic machine is heavy therefore the content must be something that cannot be compressed by that kind of force, the gas can easily be compressed while a liquid is nearly impossible to.

The energy band gap of GaAs is 1.4eV. calculate the optimum wavelength of light for photovoltaic generation in a GaAs solar cell

Viktor [21]

Answer:

λ = 8.88 x 10⁻⁷ m = 888 nm

Explanation:

The energy band gap is given as:

Energy Gap = E = 1.4 eV

Converting this to Joules (J)

E = (1.4 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV)

E = 2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

The energy required for photovoltaic generation is given as:

E = hc/λ

where,

h = Plank's Constant = 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of light = ?

Therefore,

2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ

λ = (6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(2.24 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

A convex mirror, like the passenger-side rearview mirror on a car, has a focal length of -3.0 m . An object is 6.0 m from the mi

Artist 52 [7]

A) -2.0 m

Look at the ray diagram attached in the picture, where:

p identifies the location of the object

q identifies the location of the image

F identifies the focus of the mirror

Each tick represents 1 m

We have

p = 6.0 m is the distance of the object from the mirror

f = -3.0 m is the focal length

From the ray diagram, we see that q has a distance of 2.0 m from the mirror, and it's on the other side of the mirror compared to the object, so

q = -2.0 m

This can also be verified by using the mirror equation:

$\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{-3.0 m}-\frac{1}{6.0 m}=-\frac{3}{6.0 cm}\\q = \frac{-6.0 cm}{3}=-2.0 cm$

B) Upright and virtual

As we see from the picture, the image is upright, since it has same orientation as the object.

Also, we notice that the image is on the other side of the mirror, compared to the object. For a mirror,

- An image is said to be real if it is on the same side of the object

- An image is said to be virtual if it is on the opposite side of the mirror

Therefore, this means that the image is virtual.

A flying saucer lifts the Physical Science building 10,000 ft into the air before discovering it is useless and discards the rem

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

500000000 lbft/s

Explanation:

F = Force or weight = 1000000 lbf

s = Displacement = 10000 ft

t = Time taken = 20 seconds

Work done is given by

$W=Fs\\\Rightarrow W=1000000\times 10000\\\Rightarrow W=10000000000\ lb-ft$

Power is given by

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{10000000000}{20}\\\Rightarrow P=500000000\ lbft/s$

One Saucer power is 500000000 lbft/s
