A Federation starship (8.5 ✕ 106 kg) uses its tractor beam to pull a shuttlecraft (1.0 ✕ 104 kg) aboard from a distance of 14 km

away. The tractor beam exerts a constant force of 4.0 ✕104 N on the shuttlecraft. Both spacecraft are initially at rest. How far does the starship move as it pulls the shuttlecraft aboard?

Consider the diagram below.

m₁ = 8.5 x 10⁶ kg, the starship's mass
m₂ = 10⁴ kg, the shuttlecraft's mass
a₁ =  acceleration of the starship
a₂ = the acceleration of the shuttle
F = 4 x 10⁴ N, the force exerted

Let y represent the distance covered by the starship
Let x denote the distance covered by the shuttlecraft
If t indicates the travel time, then
y = 0.5a₁t²                  (1)
x = 0.5a₂t²                  (2)

F = m₁a₁ = m₂a₂         (3)
Additionally,
x + y = 14000 m          (4)

From (2), we derive
a₁ = (4 x 10⁴ N)/(8.5 x 10⁶ kg) = 4.706 x 10⁻³ m/s²
a₂ = (4 x 10⁴ N)/(10⁴ kg) = 4 m/s²

From (1), (2) and (4), we find
0.5*(t s)²*(4 + 4.706 x 10⁻³ m/s²) = 14000 m
2.002353t² = 14000
t² = 6991.774 s²
t = 83.617 s

Thus
x = 0.5*4*6991.774 = 13984 m = 13.984 km
y = 0.5*4.706 x 10⁻³*6991.774 = 16.452 m

The starship moves roughly 16.5 meters while towing the shuttlecraft by 13.98 kilometers.

Result: The starship shifts by 16.5 m (to the nearest tenth)

A baseball thrown at an angle of 60.0° above the horizontal strikes a building 16.0 m away at a point 8.00 m above the point fro
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

a) v_{o} =16m/s

b) v=9.8m/s

c) \beta =-35.46º

Explanation:

According to the problem, the distance from the building where the ball hits is 16m, and its final elevation exceeds the initial height by 8m.

With this information, we can compute the ball’s starting speed.

a) Let's first assess the horizontal trajectory.

x=v_{ox}t

x=v_{o}cos(60)t

v_{o}=\frac{x}{tcos(60)}=\frac{16m}{tcos(60)} (1)

This gives us our initial equation.

Next, we need to examine the vertical trajectory.

y=y_{o}+v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}gt^2

y_{o}+8=y_{o}+v_{o}sin(60)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2

Utilizing v_{o} in our first equation (1)

8=\frac{16}{tcos(60)}sin(60)t-\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2

\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2=16tan(60)-8

Now let’s solve for t.

t=\sqrt{\frac{2(16tan(60)-8)}{9.8} } =2s

The ball takes two seconds to reach the adjacent building, allowing us to compute its initial speed.

v_{o}=\frac{16m}{(2s)cos(60)}=16m/s

b) To determine the velocity magnitude just before impact, we must calculate both x and y components.

v_{x}=v_{ox}+at=16cos(60)=8m/s

v_{y}=v_{oy}+gt=16sin(60)-(9.8)(2)=-5.7m/s

The computed velocity magnitude is:

v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}=\sqrt{(8m/s)^2+(-5.7m/s)^2}=9.8m/s

c) The ball's angle is:

\beta=tan^{-1}(\frac{v_{y} }{v_{x}})=tan^{-1}(\frac{-5.7}{8})=-35.46º

A brick is dropped (zero initial speed) from the roof of a building. The brick strikes the ground in 1.90 s. You may ignore air
Sav [3153]

Answer:

Height (h) = 17 m

Velocity (v) = 18.6 m/s

Explanation: This problem can be solved using kinematic motion equations.

Given Data

Initial velocity (u) = 0

Acceleration (a) = g

Time (t) = 1.9 seconds

First, we calculate the height.

s=ut+0.5at^2\\h=ut+0.5at^2\\h=0*1.9+0.5*9.81*1.9^2\\h=17.707 m

Then, we find the final velocity

v=u+at\\v=0+9.81*1.9\\v=18.639

The acceleration graph is a linear representation described by y=9.8, as it remains constant:

The velocity graph can be represented by y=9.8x (where y signifies velocity and x indicates time):

The displacement graph can be described as y=4.9x^2 (with x as time and y as displacement):

These graphs apply exclusively from x=0 to x=1.9, so disregard other sections of the graphs.

kicyunya [3294]

Answer:

An examination is conducted to assess how basic thin airfoils perform in slightly supersonic flow conditions, utilizing the nonlinear transonic theory initially proposed by von Kármán[1]. Formulas for the pressure coefficient across an oblique shock and a Prandtl-Meyer expansion are devised based on a transonic similarity variable. Aerodynamic coefficients are computed in similarity form for flat plates and asymmetric wedge airfoils, and their graphical representations are created. Sample plots are provided for a flat plate and a particular asymmetric wedge, shown on conventional coordinate axes of Cl, Cd, and Cmc/4 in relation to angle of attack and Cl against Mach Number to showcase distinct characteristics of nonlinear flow.

Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

1.32.225 N/C, moving away from the point charge

2. 8.972*10^-12 C

3. the field is oriented away from the axon

Explanation:

The calculation for the electric field is illustrated below:

E = k*|q|/r²

Where:

E = electric field; k = 8.98755*10⁹ N*m²/C²; r = distance separating the field being measured from the point charge = 0.05 m; q = point charge

For a length of 0.100 m of the axon, the value of q is calculated as:

q = (5.6*10¹¹)*(+e)*(0.001)

+e = charge of an electron = 1.60217*10^-19 C

Therefore:

q = (5.6*10¹¹)*(1.60217*10^-19)*(0.0001) = 8.972*10^-12 C

Consequently:

E = (8.98755*10⁹)*(8.972*10^-12)/0.05² = 32.255 N/C

A positive point charge produces an electric field that radiates outward, while a negative point charge creates an electric field directed inward.

The magnitude J(r) of the current density in a certain cylindrical wire is given as a function of radial distance from the cente
Softa [3030]
J(r) = Br. We know that the area of a small segment, dA, is represented as 2 π dr. Thus, I = J A and dI = J dA. Plugging in the values gives us dI = B r. 2 π dr which simplifies to dI= 2π Br² dr. Now, integrating the above equation: Given that B= 2.35 x 10⁵ A/m³, with r₁ = 2 mm and r₂ equal to 2 + 0.0115 mm, or 2.0115 mm.
