We are given information:
m=1.0* 10^{4} kg \\ v=1200m/s \\ t=2min=120s \\ F = 25kN = 25000N

If we apply Newton's second law we can calculate acceleration:
F = m * a
a = F / m
a = 25000 / 10000
a = 2.5 m/s^2

Now we can use this information to calculate change of speed.
a = v / t
v = a * t
v = 2.5 * 120
v = 300 m/s

Force is being applied in direction that is opposite to a direction in which space craft is moving. This means that final speed will be reduced.
v = 1200 - 300
v = 900 m/s

Formula for momentum is:
p = m * v
Initial momentum:
p = 10000 * 1200
p = 12 000 000
p = 12 *10^6 kg*m/s
Final momentum:
p = 10000 * 900
p = 9 000 000
p = 9 *10^6 kg*m/s

denpristay [2]

Answer: E= KQ/r^2

Explanation: An electric field is a region where an electric charge(positive or negative ) will experience a force.

The magnitude of an electric field E, at a point is given by Coulombs law as

E/ F/q

Where F= Coulombs force exertedon the charge and q= electric charge

E= F/q=(KQq)/r^2q

E=KQ/r^2

A fisherman has caught a very large, 5.0kg fish from a dock that is 2.0m above the water. He is using lightweightfishing line th
agasfer [191]

Answer:

t = 2 s

Explanation:

As we know that fish is pulled upwards with uniform maximum acceleration

then we will have

T - mg = ma

here we know that maximum possible acceleration of so that string will not break is given as

T = 54 N

now we have

54 - (5 \times 9.8) = 5 a

a = 1 m/s^2

now for such acceleration we can use kinematics

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2

2 = \frac{1}{2}(1) t^2

t = 2 s

A ray of light crosses a boundary between two transparent materials. The medium the ray enters has a larger index of refraction.
Margarita [4]

Answer:

True, True, False, False, False, False.

Explanation:

The refraction index of a material is given by the formula n=c/v, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and v the speed of light in the material. If a ray of light crosses a boundary between two transparent materials and the medium the ray enters has a larger index of refraction it means that in this new medium the speed of light is smaller than on the other one, and then its wavelength is also reduced since f must remain the same (and \lambda=v/f), otherwise there is a discontinuity on number of vibrations per second, which cannot happen. So we know that:

1) The wavelength of the light decreases as it enters into the medium with the greater index of refraction. True.

2) The frequency of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials. True.

3) The speed of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials. False.

4) The speed of the light increases as it enters the medium with the greater index of refraction. False.

5) The frequency of the light decreases as it enters into the medium with the greater index of refraction. False.

6) The wavelength of the light remains constant as it transitions between materials.  False.

Two very large, flat plates are parallel to each other. Plate A, located at y=1.0 cm, is along the xz-plane and carries a unifor
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

 E ≈ 1.70 10⁵ N/C

Explanation:

The electric field is a vector quantity, so we can calculate the field of each plate and then add them. To calculate the field of a plate let's use Gauss's law

       Φ = ∫ E. dA = q_{int} / ε₀

To apply this law we must create a Gaussian surface that takes advantage of the symmetry of the problem. The electric field lines on the surface are perpendicular, so the Gaussian surface that will be a cylinder with the base parallel to the plate.

On this surface the normal to the base (A) is parallel to the field lines whereby the scalar product is reduced to the ordinary product. The normal on the sides of the cylinder is perpendicular to the field, therefore, the product scale is zero.

        ∫I E dA = q_{int}  /ε₀

Let's look for the load under the cylinder, let's use the concept of load density

        σ =  q_{int} / A

         q_{int} = σ A

Let's write Gauss's law for this case

       E A =  q_{int} /ε₀  

       E A = σ A / ε₀

       E = σ / ε₀

As the field is emitted for each side of the plate the value to only one side is

      E = G / 2ε₀  

This expression is the same for each plate, now let's add the electric field at the requested point

     R = (0.50, 0.00, 0.00) cm

We see that this point is on the X axis, between the plates that are at the points y = -1.0 cm and y = 1.0 cm, as the plates are very large the test point is between them

The negative plate has an incoming field and the positive plate has an outgoing field, the test load is always positive. The field due to the negative plate goes to the left, the field through the positive plate goes to the left at this point whereby two are added

     E = E_ + E +

     E = σ1 / 2ε₀  + σ2 / 2ε₀  

     E = 1 / 2o (σ1 + σ2)

Let's calculate the value

     E = 1/2 8.85 10⁻¹² (1.00 10⁻⁶ + 2.00 10⁻⁶)

     E = 3 10⁻⁶ / 17.7 10⁻¹²

     E = 1,695 10⁵ N / C

     E ≈ 1.70 10⁵ N/C
