A small spaceship with a mass of only 1.5 * 10^3 kg (including an astronaut) is drifting in outer space with negligible gravitational forces acting on it. If the astronaut turns on a 10 kW laser beam, what speed will the ship attain in 1.0 day because of the momentum carried away by the beam?
The IKAROS spacecraft, launched in 2010, was designed to test the feasibility of solar sails for spacecraft propulsion. These large, ultralight sails are pushed on by the force of light from the sun, so the spacecraft doesn't need to carry any fuel. The force on IKAROS's sails was measured to be 1.12 mNmN.
If this were the only force acting on the 290 kgkg spacecraft, by how much would its speed increase after 9.0 months of flight? Assume there are 30 days in each month.

While traveling faster than sound at 4000 m altitude, he shot a burst of rounds.Then, after allowing the cannons to cool, he shot another burst at 2000 m; his speed was then 344 m/s, the speed of the rounds relative to him was 730 m/s, and he was still in a dive. Almost immediately the canopy around him was shredded and his right air intake was damaged.With little flying capability left, the jet crashed into a wooded area, but Attridge managed to escape the resulting explosion. Explain what apparently happened just after the second burst of cannon rounds.

Quantum physicists then decides to design and build a machine that is able to move the Higgs Boson from x7 to x1. How much work should the machine do to achieve this feat?
