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 20.00-kg lead sphere is hanging from a hook by a thin wire 2.80 m long and is free to swing in a complete circle. Suddenly it
Keith_Richards [3271]
Objects in vertical motion are an illustration of non-uniform motion. At the peak of the circle, centripetal force is balanced by the object's weight. Therefore, the minimum speed required at this top point is given by v = \sqrt{rg} = \sqrt{2.80 \times 9.8} = 5.23 m/s. As the sphere descends from the top to the bottom of the circle, according to the law of conservation of energy, potential energy can be expressed as

P.E_{highest} = mgh

, where h signifies the diameter of the circle (2r). Hence, the expression will be written as P.E_{highest} = mg(2r)

where u is the velocity at the lowest point. Consequently, the modified equation is

= \sqrt{v^{2} + 4gr}

= \sqrt{(5.23)^{2} + (4 \times 9.8 \times 2.80)}

= 11.71 m/s. The collision of the dart with the bullet is an inelastic one. According to the conservation of momentum: v = \frac{(m_{1} + m_{2})u}{m_{2}}

= \frac{(20 + 5) \times 11.71}{5}

= \frac{292.75}{5}

= 58.55 m/s. Thus, the dart's minimum initial speed for the combined system to complete a circular loop post-collision is 58.55 m/s.

Respuesta:

Opción e

Explicación:

La Ley de Gravitación Universal indica que toda masa puntual atrae a otra masa puntual en el universo con una fuerza que se dirige en línea recta entre los centros de masa de ambos, siendo esta fuerza proporcional a las masas de los objetos y inversamente proporcional a su separación. Esta fuerza atractiva siempre es dirigida del uno hacia el otro. La ley es aplicable a objetos de cualquier masa, sin importar su tamaño. Dos objetos grandes pueden ser considerados masas puntuales si la distancia entre ellos es considerablemente mayor que sus dimensiones o si presentan simetría esférica. En tales casos, la masa de cada objeto puede ser modelada como una masa puntual en su centro de masa.

La misma fuerza actúa sobre ambas bolas.

Determine the final state and temperature of 100 g of water originally at 25.0°c after 50.0 kj of heat have been added to it.
inna [3103]
The heat required to raise the temperature of a substance by \Delta T is represented by
Q=m C_p \Delta T
where m stands for the mass of the substance and C_p indicates the specific heat of the substance. In this situation, we possess m=100~g=0.1~Kg and C_p=4.19~KJ/(Kg K), the specific heat of water.
Consequently, we can ascertain the temperature rise \Delta T:
\Delta T = \frac{Q}{m C_p}= \frac{50~KJ}{0.1~Kg cdot 4.19~KJ/(Kg K)}=119~K =119^{\circ}C
Initially, the water's temperature was 25^{\circ}C, so the end temperature should be
T_f = 25^{\circ}C+119^{\circ}C=144^{\circ}C
Thus, the water is expected to be vapor by now.

However, to give a more accurate statement, during the liquid to vapor transition, the heat added to the system is used to break molecular bonds instead of raising the system's temperature. The heat necessary for the phase change from liquid to vapor is expressed as
Q=m C_L=0.1~Kg \cdot 2265~KJ/Kg=226.5~KJ
where C_L denotes the latent heat of vaporization for water.
Nevertheless, the initial heat input of 50 KJ is less than this requirement, indicating there isn't sufficient heat to finish the liquid-vapor transition. Therefore, the water will remain in the liquid-vapor change phase at a temperature of 100^{\circ}C (the temperature at which the phase change begins)
