Imagine a landing craft approaching the surface of Callisto, one of Jupiter's moons. If the engine provides an upward force (thr

ust) of 3432 N, the craft descends at constant speed; if the engine provides only 2317 N, the craft accelerates downward at 0.39 m/s2. What is the weight of the landing craft in the vicinity of Callisto's surface?

Answer:

W = mg = 3432 N

Explanation:

The force applied by the engine, F = 3432 N (upward) the craft descends at constant speed.

If the engine provides only 2317 N, the craft accelerates downward at 0.39 m/s².

On applying the force of 3432 N, the ship descends at a constant velocity such that the net force acting on it equal to 0. So, the upward normal force is equal to the weight of the landing craft.

So, the weight of the landing craft in the vicinity of Callisto's surface is 3432 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 23 and its mass number is 90?
givi [52]

Answer:

67

Explanation:

- The atomic number (Z) of an atom is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus

- The mass number (A) of an atom is equal to the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus

Therefore, calling p the number of protons and n the number of neutrons, for element X we have:

Z = p = 23

A = p + n = 90

Substituting p=23 into the second equation, we find the number of neutrons:

n = 90 - p = 90 - 23 = 67

Why is it that an object can accelerate while
posledela

For the same reason that you can skate around a curve at constant speed but not with constant velocity.

The DIRECTION you're going is part of your velocity, but it's not part of your speed.

If the DIRECTION changes, that's a change of velocity.

The object doesn't have to change speed to have a different velocity. A change of direction is enough to do it.

And any change of velocity is called acceleration.

A car moving at a speed of 36 km/h reaches the foot of a smooth
boyakko [2]

Answer:

d = 10.2 m

Explanation:

When the car travels up the inclined plane, its kinetic energy will be used to do the work in climbing up. So according to the law of conservation of energy, we can write that:

Kinetic\ Energy\ of\ the \ Car = Work\ Done\ while\ moving\ up\ the\ plane\\\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = Fd

where,

m = mass of car

v = speed of car at the start of plane = (36 km/h)(1000 m/1 km)(1 h/3600 s)

v = 10 m/s

F = force on the car in direction of inclination = W Sin θ

W = weight of car = mg

θ = Angle of inclinition = 30°

d = distance covered up the ramp = ?

Therefore,

\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = mgdSin\theta\\\frac{1}{2}v^{2} = gdSin\theta\\\frac{1}{2}(10\ m/s)^{2} = d(9.81\ m/s^{2}) Sin\ 30^{0}

<u>d = 10.2 m</u>
