The acceleration and velocity of the plane is 78.57 m/s² and 157.14 m/s respectively

To calculate the acceleration of the plane, we use the formula below.

<h3>Formula:</h3>

a = F/m..................... Equation 1

Where:

a = Acceleration of the plane
F = Force applied to the plane
m = mass of the plane.

From the question,

Given:

F = 550000 N
m = 7000 kg

Substitute these values into equation 1

a = 550000/7000
a = 78.57 m/s²

To calculate the velocity, we use the formula below.

v = u+at............. Equation 2

Where:

v = Final velocity
u = initial velocity
a = acceleration
t = time.

From the question,

Given:

u = 0 m/s
a = 78.57 m/s
t = 2.0 seconds

Substitute these values into equation 2

v = 0+2(78.57)

v = 157.14 m/s

Hence, The acceleration and velocity of the plane is 78.57 m/s² and 157.14 m/s respectively.

I know it, X-rays, gamma rays and beta particles are all used in medicine to treat internal organs. X-rays are produced by firing electrons at a metal target and gamma rays are emitted by the nucleus of radioactive atoms. Gamma rays are used to kill cancer cells, to sterilise medical equipment and in radioactive tracers.

Sally and Sam are in a spaceship that comes to within 17,000 km of the asteroid Ceres. Determine the force Sally experiences, in

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

0.01606 Newtons

Explanation:

r = Distance between the asteroid and Sally = 17000000 m

m₁ = Mass of the asteroid = 8.7× 10²⁰ kg

m₂ = Mass of Sally = 80 kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

From Newton's Universal law of gravity

$F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \frac{8.7\times 10^{20}\times 80}{17000000^2}\\\Rightarrow F=0.01606\ N$

The force Sally experiences is 0.01606 Newtons

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Kepler's third law as well as the calculation of distances in orbits with eccentricities.

Kepler's third law tells us that
