A nucleus that captures a stray neutron must bring the neutron to a stop within the diameter of the nucleus by means of the strong force. That force, which "glues" the nucleus together, is approximately zero outside the nucleus. Suppose that a stray neutron with an initial speed of 1.9 × 107 m/s is just barely captured by a nucleus with diameter d = 1.3 × 10-¹4 m. Assuming that the strong force on the neutron is constant, find the magnitude of that force. The neutron's mass is 1.67 × 10-27 kg.

Component Method: With your calculator, determine the x and y components of F1 and F2. Remember that Fx = Fcos θ and Fy = F sin θ. Find the x and y components of the resultant from the sum of x and y components. Draw a right triangle with x and y components as sides, and the hypotenuse representing the resultant. Calculate the magnitude of the resultant from the square root of (Rx2 + Ry2). Calculate the direction of the resultant by using θ R = tan-1 (Ry/Rx).

15-139. The missile weighs 40 000 lb. The constant thrust provided by the turbojet engine is T = 15 000 lb. Additional thrust is provided by two rocket boosters B. The propellant in each booster is burned at a constant rate of 150 lb/s, with a relative exhaust velocity of 3000 ft/s. If the mass of the propellant lost by the turbojet engine can be neglected, determine the velocity of the missile after the 4-s burn time of the boosters. The initial velocity of the missile is 300 mi/h.
Near the Sun, there is a flux of particles coming out as electromagnetic radiation that acts like some kind of wind. A ship with a large Sun sail, a large panel with a big surface area oriented towards the Sun, can use this flux as a source of energy for motion, similar to how a regular sailing ship catches the wind to move on the ocean. If the ship's mass is 423 kg, it's starting from rest, and the force of the Solar wind flux is 76 x 10-3 Newton, after how many days would the ship reach a speed of 205 m/s? Assume no friction in space, the Solar wind flux to be constant over that distance, and the gravitational pull of the Sun to be negligible. Give your answer in days with 3DDP. For example, one day and 12h in decimal form would be 1.500 days

Inkjet printerscan be described as either continuous or drop-on-demand. In a continuousinkjet printer, letters are built up by squirting drops of ink at thepaper from a rapidly moving nozzle. You are part of an engineeringgroup working on the design of such a printer. Each ink drop will havea mass of 1.4 * 10^-8 g. The drops will leave the nozzle and traveltowardthe paper at 50 m/s in a horizontal direction, passing througha charging unit that gives each drop a positive charge q by removingsome electrons from it. The drops will then pass between paralleldeflectingplates, 2.0 cm long, where there is a uniform verticalelectricfield with magnitude 8.0 * 10^4 N/C. Your team is working onthe design of the charging unit that places the charge on the drops.(a) If a drop is to be deflected 0.30 mm by the time it reaches the endof the deflection plates, what magnitude of charge must be given tothe drop? How many electrons must be removed from the drop to giveit this charge? (b) If the unit that…

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. There are several thousand objects orbiting Earth that are large enough to be detected by radar, but there are far greater numbers of very small objects, such as flakes of paint. Calculate the force exerted in newtons by a 0.200 mg chip of paint that strikes a spacecraft window at a relative speed of 4.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10−8 s.
