A 300 kg space probe in deep space has an initial velocity v =(12,–9,20) km/s. It fires its thrusts which exert a force of F =(247,0,–96)kN on the probe. (a) What is the angle between the force and momentum vectors? (b) Find the component of the force parallel to the probe's momentum vector. (c) Find the component of the force perpendicular to the probe's momentum vector. (d) Calculate the radius of curvature of the probe's path at this point.

An unstable uranium-238 suddenly bursts apart (fission) into thorium-234 (3.886×10-25 kg) and helium-4 (6.646×10-27 kg) for which both fission products moves in opposite direction. If helium gains a kinetic energy of 3.176×10-13 J after the fission process, what are the speed of fission products after the decay of uranium-238?

The carbon isotope 14C is used for carbon dating of archaeological artefacts. 14C decays to 14N by a process known as beta decay, in which the nucleus emits an electron (also known as a beta particle) and a subatomic particle called a neutrino. In one such decay, the electron and the neutrino are emitted in opposite directions to each other. The electron has a speed of 5 x 10 m/s and the neutrino has a momentum of 5 x 1024 kg m/s. n as What is the recoil speed of the resulting 14N nucleus? (Take the mass of the carbon-14 and nitrogen-14 nuclei to be 2.34 x 10 26 kg and the mass of the electron to be 9.11 x 1031 kg. If you were aware of such things and concerned, please ignore relativistic effects.)

A NASA probe traveling through interplanetary space has a mass of 81 kg and is traveling at a speed of 29 m/s. When it is at location F = [ -280, -232, 394 ] m it begins firing two booster rockets. The rockets exert constant forces of F1 =[ 90, 150, 195 ] N and F2 = [ 90, -90, -585 ] N, without significantly decreasing the mass of the probe. The rockets fire until the probe reaches location Ff = [ -272, -233, 399] m. a) How much work does booster rocket #1 do during that time? b) How much work does booster rocket #2 do during that time? c) What is the probe's speed when it reaches location F? m/s
