The NASA spacecraft Deep Space I was shut down on December 18, 2001, following a three-year journey to the asteroid Braille and

the comet Borrelly. This spacecraft used a solar-powered ion engine to produce 0.064 ounces of thrust (force) by stripping electrons from neon atoms and accelerating the resulting ions to 70,000 mi/h. The thrust was only as much as the weight of a couple sheets of paper, but the engine operated continuously for 16,000 hours. As a result, the speed of the spacecraft increased by 7900 mi/h. What was the mass of Deep Space I?

Answer:

The mass will be "8.86 lb".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Force

= 70,000 mi/h

Speed

= 7900 mi/h

On applying the Law of momentum, we get

⇒  V_{1}m_{1}=V_{2}m_{2}

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒  70000 = 7900\times mass \ of \ deepspace \ 1

⇒  mass \ of \ deepspace \ 1 = \frac{70000}{7900}

⇒                                    =8.86 \ lb

Imagine that the above hoop is a tire. the coefficient of static friction between rubber and concrete is typically at least 0.9.
Stels [109]
The hoop is attached.

Consider that the friction force is given by:
F = μ·N
   = μ·m·g·cosθ

We also know, considering the forces of the whole system, that:
F = -m·a + m·g·sinθ
and
a = (1/2)·<span>g·sinθ

Therefore:
</span>-(1/2)·m·g·sinθ + m·g·sinθ = <span>μ·m·g·cosθ
</span>(1/2)·m·g·sinθ = <span>μ·m·g·cosθ
</span>μ = (1/2)·m·g·sinθ / <span>m·g·cosθ
   = </span>(1/2)·tanθ

Now, solve for θ:
θ = tan⁻¹(2·μ)
   = tan⁻¹(2·0.9)
   = 61°

Therefore, the maximum angle <span>you could ride down without worrying about skidding is 61°.</span>

Two objects are placed in thermal contact and are allowed to come to equilibrium in isolation. the heat capacity of object a is
Harman [31]
Given:
Ca = 3Cb                      (1)
where
Ca =  heat capacity of object A
Cb =  heat capacity f object B

Also,
Ta = 2Tb                     (2)
where
Ta = initial temperature of object A
Tb = initial temperature of object B.

Let
Tf =  final equilibrium temperature of both objects,
Ma = mass of object A,
Mb = mass of object B.

Assuming that all heat exchange occurs exclusively between the two objects, then energy balance requires that
Ma*Ca*(Ta - Tf) = Mb*Cb*(Tf - Tb)           (3)

Substitute (1) and (2) into (3).
Ma*(3Cb)*(2Tb - Tf) = Mb*Cb*(Tf - Tb)
3(Ma/Mb)*(2Tb - Tf) = Tf - Tb

Define k = Ma/Mb, the ratio f the masses.
Then
3k(2Tb - Tf) = Tf - Tb
Tf(1+3k) = Tb(1+6k)
Tf = [(1+6k)/(1+3k)]*Tb

Answer:
T_{f} =( \frac{1+6k}{1+3k} )T_{b}= \frac{1}{2}( \frac{1+6k}{1+3k})T_{a}
where
k= \frac{M_{a}}{M_{b}}
