Voyager 2 is a space probe, launched in 1977, to study the outer planets. It will continue to travel through space for thousands

of years without stopping. Which one of Newton's laws does this describe?
(I'm new to this website so Im just getting the hang of it)

Answer:

a. $\displaystyle k_o=1350\ J$

b. $\displaystyle k_1=0\ J$

c. $\Delta k=-1350\ J$

d. $W=-1350\ J$

e. $F=-675\ N$

Explanation:

<u>Work and Kinetic Energy </u>

When an object moves at a certain velocity v0 and changes it to v1, a change in its kinetic energy is achieved:

$\Delta k=k_1-k_0$

Knowing that

$\displaystyle k=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

We have

$\displaystyle \Delta k=\frac{mv_1^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}$

The work done by the force who caused the change of velocity (acceleration) is

$\displaystyle W=\frac{mv_1^2}{2}-\frac{mv_0^2}{2}$

If we know the distance x traveled by the object, the work can also be calculated by

$W=F.x$

Being F the force responsible for the change of velocity

The 75 kg baseball player has an initial velocity of 6 m/s, then he slides and stops

a. Before the slide, his initial kinetic energy is

$\displaystyle k_o=\frac{mv_0^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle k_o=\frac{(75)6^2}{2}$

$\boxed{\displaystyle k_o=1350\ J}$

b. Once he reaches the base, the player is at rest, thus his final kinetic energy is

$\displaystyle k_1=\frac{(75)0^2}{2}$

$\boxed{\displaystyle k_1=0\ J}$

c. The change of kinetic energy is

$\Delta k=k_1-k_0=0\ J-1350\ J$

$\boxed{\Delta k=-1350\ J}$

d. The work done by friction to stop the player is

$W=\Delta k=k_1-k_0$

$\boxed{W=-1350\ J}$

e. We compute the force of friction by using

$W=F.x$

and solving for x

$\displaystyle F=\frac{W}{x}$

$\displaystyle F=\frac{-1350\ J}{2\ m}$

$\boxed{F=-675\ N}$

The negative sign indicates the force is against movement

What is force and measurement

NeTakaya

Explanation:

In physics, force is a quantitative description of an interaction that causes a change in an object's motion. ... It is defined as Mass x Acceleration = Force. The SI unit of force is the newton (N); defined as the unit of force which would give to a mass of one kilogram an acceleration of 1 meter per second squared. hope this helps you discover the best answer
