Answer:
a) 3673469.39 seconds
b) 6.61×10¹⁴ m
Explanation:
t = Time taken
u = Initial velocity
v = Final velocity = 0.12×3×10⁸ m/s
s = Displacement
a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²
Equation of motion
Time taken to reach 12% of light speed is 3673469.39 seconds
The distance it would have to travel is 6.61×10¹⁴ m
The resulting change in momentum of the system will be +18.6 Ns. The momentum is conserved.
According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.
The given data in the problem is;
m is the mass =6.0 kg
t is the time interval=2 second
From Newton's second law;
From the graph;
The change in the momentum is;
Hence, the resulting change in momentum of the system will be +18.6 Ns.
