The force needed to keep the space shuttle moving at constant speed is 0.

The given parameters;

weight of the space shuttle, F = 750,000 N
constant speed of the space shuttle, v = 28,000 km/h

The mass of the space shuttle is calculated as follows;

$W = mg\\\\m = \frac{W}{g} \\\\m = \frac{750,000}{9.8} \\\\m = 76,530.61 \ kg$

The force needed to keep the space shuttle moving at constant speed is calculated as follows;

$F = ma$

$F = 76,530.61 \times a$

where;

a is the acceleration of the space shuttle

At a constant speed, acceleration is zero.

F = 76,530.61 x 0

F = 0

Thus, the force needed to keep the space shuttle moving at constant speed is 0.

A train at a constant 79.0 km/h moves east for 27.0 min, then in a direction 50.0° east of due north for 29.0 min, and then west

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Magnitude of avg velocity, $|v_{avg}| = 18.9 km/h$

$\theta' = 56.85^{\circ}$

Given:

Constant speed of train, v = 79 km/h

Time taken in East direction, t = 27 min = $\frac{27}{60} h$

Angle, $\theta = 50^{\circ}$

Time taken in $50^{\circ}$ east of due North direction, t' = 29 min = $\frac{29}{60} h$

Time taken in west direction, t'' = 37 min = $\frac{27}{60} h$

Solution:

Now, the displacement, 's' in east direction is given by:

$\vec{s} = vt = 79\times \frac{27}{60} = 35.5\hat{i} km$

Displacement in $50^{\circ}$ east of due North for 29.0 min is given by:

$\vec{s'} = vt'sin50^{\circ}\hat{i} + vt'cos50^{\circ}\hat{j}$

$\vec{s'} = 79(\frac{29}{60})sin50^{\circ}\hat{i} + 79(\frac{29}{60})cos50^{\circ}\hat{j}$

$\vec{s'} = 29.25\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} km$

Now, displacement in the west direction for 37 min:

$\vec{s''} = - vt''hat{i} = - 79\frac{37}{60} = - 48.72\hat{i} km$

Now, the overall displacement,

$\vec{s_{net}} = \vec{s} + \vec{s'} + \vec{s''}$

$\vec{s_{net}} = 35.5\hat{i} + 29.25\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} - 48.72\hat{i}$

$\vec{s_{net}} = 16.03\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j} km$

(a) Now, average velocity, $v_{avg}$ is given:

$v_{avg} = \frac{total displacement, \vec{s_{net}}}{total time, t}$

$v_{avg} = \frac{16.03\hat{i} + 24.54\hat{j}}{\frac{27 + 29 + 37}{60}}$

$v_{avg} = 10.34\hat{i} + 15.83\hat{j}) km/h$

Magnitude of avg velocity is given by:

$|v_{avg}| = \sqrt{(10.34)^{2} + (15.83)^{2}} = 18.9 km/h$

(b) angle can be calculated as:

$tan\theta' = \frac{15.83}{10.34}$

$\theta' = tan^{- 1}\frac{15.83}{10.34} = 56.85^{\circ}$

How does the movement of particles of matter change when temperature decreases

Zanzabum

INCREASE in temperature of the material practically increase the energy of the particles. which increases their motion due to increase in energy . thus when the temperature is decreased the energy level decreases which causes the particle's motion to slow down.. the motion of the particle is highly reduced when the temperature is lowered

A flatbed truck is carrying a 20.0 kg crate along a level road. the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the bed

Dahasolnce [82]

3.92 m/s^2 Assuming that the local gravitational acceleration is 9.8 m/s^2, then the maximum acceleration that the truck can have is the coefficient of static friction multiplied by the local gravitational acceleration, so 0.4 * 9.8 m/s^2 = 3.92 m/s^2 If you want the more complicated answer, the normal force that the crate exerts is it's mass times the local gravitational acceleration, so 20.0 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 196 kg*m/s^2 = 196 N Multiply by the coefficient of static friction, giving 196 N * 0.4 = 78.4 N So we need to apply 78.4 N of force to start the crate moving. Let's divide by the crate's mass 78.4 N / 20.0 kg = 78.4 kg*m/s^2 / 20.0 kg = 3.92 m/s^2 And you get the same result.

Which of the following best describes why tidal energy is considered a renewable energy resource? A. The Moon receives energy fr

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

D. Tidal energy is replaced naturally by the Moon's gravity.

Explanation:

The reason tidal energy is considered a renewable energy resource is that Tidal energy is replaced naturally by the Moon's gravity. The Moon's gravity creates bulges on the side of Earth that is closest and farthest from the Moon. These bulges also pull water causing high tides in those areas. As the Earth rotates these areas experience low tide while the areas that had low tide now experience high tide. This constant shift creates tidal energy every day, which is replenished naturally.
