A spaceship at rest relative to a nearby star in interplanetary space has a total mass of 2.50 104 kg. Its engines fire at t = 0, steadily burning fuel at. 76.7 kg/s with an exhaust speed of 4.25 103 m/s. Calculate the spaceships (a) acceleration at t = 0, (b) mass at t = 125 s, (c) acceleration at t = 125 s, and (d) speed at t = 125 s, relative to the same nearby star.
An object is dropped from an altitude of one Earth radius above Earth's surface. If M is the mass of Earth and R is its radius, the speed of the object just before it hits Earth is given by: GM R 0 GM 2R O GM V2R 0 GM VR 2GM R
Grab a meter stick or any uniform thin piece of wood about 1m in length. (e.g. the handle of a broom with the head removed). Place your index fingers at either end so that you are holding the stick up with just two fingers. Move your fingers slowly together. Where do they end up? Describe the motion of your fingers. Explain why this happens.
Your friend Travis claims to have set the new world speed record for riding a unicycle. His top speed, he says, was 55 m/s. Do you believe him? Explain.
1. Consider a mass m initially at rest at a large distance I from center of the earth (l>R the earth's radius). The mass m is released and falls toward the earth. (a) Calculate the speed of the mass as a function of its distance x from the center of the earth. (b) In the approximation that l>>R, how much time does it take for the mass m to reach the earth? Express your answers in terms of R, 1, g (acceleration at the earth's surface) and (for part a) x.
Spring Gun: Planet X was just discovered orbiting a nearby star! It orbits a start that is 6.9 times the mass of our sun in a solar system just 31.3 light-years away. The acceleration due to gravity there is 0.07 g. After making some measurements in lab, you start to daydream about travel to other planets. Your spring gun can launch a projectile with a speed of 3.7 m/s. What would happen if you were to launch a projectile at an angle of 32 ° above horizontal on Planet X? (a) What maximum height would the projectile reach? (b) How far would the projectile travel before it hit the ground? Assume the projectile lands at the same height it was launched from.
A piano has been pushed to the top of the ramp at the back of a moving van. The workers think it is safe, but as they walk away, it begins to roll down the ramp. Neglect the friction between the piano and the ramp. If the back of the truck is 1.5 mm above the ground and the ramp is inclined at 26 ∘∘ , how much time do the workers have to get to the piano before it reaches the bottom of the ramp?
A person of mass 50kg is falling at a terminal velocity of 60m/s. how much force does a superhero need to exert if it takes 0.1sec to stop the fall? If the person can withstand a maximum acceleration of 7g, what minimum time should it take the superhero to stop the fall? ans: 1.02s
A hockey puck with mass 0.1 kg is at rest at the origin (x = 0) on the horizontal, frictionless surface of the rink. At time t = 0 a player applies a force of 0.2 N to the puck, parallel to the x-axis; she continues to apply this force until t = 2 5. (a) What is the speed of the puck at t = 2 s? Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
A 1,865.66 kg car at rest at the top of a hill 20 m high is given a nudge and begins to roll down the hill. It rolls up a 8.39 m hill on the other side. How fast is it moving as it tops the lower hill?
One newly discovered light particle has a mass of m and property q. Suppose it moves within the vicinity of an extremely heavy (fixed in place) particle with a property Q and mass M. When the light particle is xi distance from the heavy particle, it is moving directly away from the heavy particle with a speed of vi. a) What is the lighter particle's speed when it is xf away from the heavy particle? Amım2 Consider a new expression for gravitation potential energy as: PEgrav = É, where A is a constant, m, and m2 are the masses of the two r objects, and r is the distance between them. Moreover, the new particle has an additional interaction with the heavy particle through the following force expression 1 qQ 4TE, r? Fnew where Eo is a constant that is read as epsilon subscript 0, q and Q are their new properties, r is the distance between the new particle and the heavy particle. Solution: We may solve this using two approaches. One involves the Newton's Laws and the other involving…
