A 20.0-kg space probe fires an ion engine for 10.0 s during which time it experiences a force given by F(t) = (6.00 N/s2 )t2 i.

If it was originally moving in the x-direction at 40.0 m/s, what is its velocity at t = 5.00 s?

Answer:

190 m/s

Explanation:

Acceleration = Force/ mass

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

Where F = force, m = mass of the space probe.

Given: m = 20 kg,

F(t) = 6.00t²

when t = 10 s.

F = 6.00(10)²

F = 600 N

Substituting these values into equation 1

a = 600/20²

a = 30 m/s.

But.

a = (v-u)/t

Where a = acceleration of the body, v = final velocity of the body, u = initial velocity of the body, t = time.

making v the subject of the equation,

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

Given: a = 30 m/s², u = 40 m/s, t = 5.00 s.

v = 40 + 30(5)

v = 40+150

v = 190 m/s

Thus the velocity of the space probe = 190 m/s

A ship maneuvers to within 2.50 x 103 m of anisland's 1.80 x 103 m high mountain peak and fires aprojectile at an enemy ship 6.1
const2013 [10]

Answer:

Distance between peak height (vertically) of projectile and mountain height = (2975.2 - 1800) = 1175.2 m

Distance between where the projectile lands and ship B = (3188.8 - 3110) = 8.8 m

Explanation:

Given the velocity and angle of shot of the projectile, one can calculate the range and maximum height attained by the projectile.

H = (v₀² Sin²θ)/2g

v₀ = initial velocity of projectile = 2.50 × 10² m/s = 250 m/s

θ = 75°, g = 9.8 m/s²

H = 250² (Sin² 75)/(2 × 9.8) = 2975.2 m

Range of projectile

R = v₀² (sin2θ)/g

R = 250² (sin2×75)/9.8

R = 250² (sin 150)/9.8 = 3188.8 m

Height of mountain = 1.80 × 10³ = 1800 m

Maximum height of projectile = 2975.2 m

Distance between peak height (vertically) of projectile and mountain height = 2975.2 - 1800 = 1175.2 m

Distance of ship B from ship A = 2.5 × 10³ + 6.1 × 10² = 2500 + 610 = 3110 m

Range of projectile = 3188.8 m

Distance between where the projectile lands and ship B = 3188.8 - 3110 = 8.8 m

The environment affects people, but people don't affect the environment.<br><br><br>TRUE OR FALSE
Drupady [299]

Answer: False

Explanation:

The statement that the environment affects people, but people don't affect the environment is incorrect. It should be noted that people also affect the environment.

Some of our impact on the environment include pollution, deforestation, overpopulation, burning of fossil fuels etc. Thus has resulted in changes such as erosion, climate change, etc.

Scorpion4ik [409]

In a series circuit . . .

-- The total resistance is the sum of the individual resistors.

-- The current is the same at every point in the circuit.

The total resistance in this circuit is (3Ω + 6Ω )  =  9Ω

The current at every point is (V/R) = (12v / 9Ω ) = <em>1.33 A</em> .

Pick choice<em> (a)</em>.
