A 3000-kg spaceship is moving away from a space station at a constant speed of 3 m/s. The astronaut in the spaceship decides to

return to the space station by switching on engines that expel fuel so that the sum of the forces exerted on the spaceship by the expelled fuel points toward the space station. What is the magnitude of the minimum force needed to bring the spaceship back to the space station

Answer:

P = m (v2 - v1)     change in momentum

P = - m v1  if v2 is to be zero

F = P / t     change in momentum equals applied force

F = m a = - m v1 / t

a = -v1 / t     or a * t = -v1`

Any combination of a and t that is greater than v1 will bring the space station to a halt

If a is small then t must be large

Any applied force will eventually bring the ship to a halt and then begin the acceleration towards the starting point

57. Example of the law of force and acceleration
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Newton's Second Law of Motion says that acceleration (gaining speed) happens when a force acts on a mass (object). Riding your bicycle is a good example of this law of motion at work. Your bicycle is the mass. Your leg muscles pushing pushing on the pedals of your bicycle is the force.

Sunlight reflects from a concave piece of broken glass, converging to a point 34 cm from the glass. what is the radius of curvat
wolverine [178]
The rays of light coming from the Sun are parallel to each other, so when they are reflected by the concave piece of glass (which acts as a concave mirror) they converge into the focus of the mirror, which is
f=34 cm
The radius of curvature of a concave mirror is twice its focal length, so in this case it is:
r=2f = 2 \cdot 34 cm=78 cm
