The proton is traveling at a constant speed of 5.5 × 105 m/s, and the radius of the kissing circle is 0.02 m. The mass of a proton is 1.7 × 10-27 kg. When the proton is at location A, what are the magnitude and direction (d|p→|/d⁢t)(p^) of the parallel component of dp→/d⁢t?
Mechanic Physics: Please make sure this is right In the figure, a ball of mass m = 56 g is shot with speed vi = 23 m/s (in the negative direction of an x axis) into the barrel of a spring gun of mass M = 263 ginitially at rest on a frictionless surface. The ball sticks in the barrel at the point of maximum compression of the spring. Assume that the increase in thermal energy due to friction between the ball and the barrel is negligible. (a) What is the speed of the spring gun after the ball stops in the barrel? (b)What fraction of the initial kinetic energy of the ball is stored in the spring?
I. With external gravitational field In this second part you are asked to analyze rocket propulsion with the present of gravitational field g. This appears for instance when the rocket is launching from the surface of a planet. (1) Describes why you are not allowed to use the momentum conservation here. (2) Evaluate the speed of the rocket measure by inertial observer on the ground as a function of time v(t) if the speed of the gas propulsion with respect to the rocket is vret and the burning rate is constant constant! dm dt (3) Plot v(t) that you obtained from point (2) above, for three different values of gravitational field (assuming similar initial mass), which is: Imoon = 1.62 m/s? • Gearth = 9.81 m/s? Ijupiter = 24.79 m/s? in a single plot, if the burn dm ate is constant = 1500 kg/s. Analyze your result and dt describes how the speed increases for each situation! 20:18 Ai 11/03/2022
We have two spheres (m and M) that are separated by a small distance; m is to the left of M. A sphere of mass m (identical to one of the two initial spheres) is moving towards m at a speed V0. Show that when M is smaller than or equal to m, there will be 2 collisions and calculate the final speeds. Show that when M is larger than m, there will be three collisions and calculate the final velocities.
Our brave astronaut Ms. Rose Noneck is at rest spacewalking 9.3 m away from her spaceship when her jetpack runs out of electricity (powered by TCC?). And worst – she is down to 60 seconds of oxygen left – there's plenty in her spaceship as well as her delicious lunch of baba ganoush. She remembers Prof. P's class and throws her 23.6 kg jetpack in the opposite direction of her spaceship at 1.4 m/s. Her mass is 55 kg. Will she make it back to her spaceship before she runs out of air? Convince me with numbers - tell me how long in seconds it takes for her to get back. Will we be seeing her in Exam 4? Or is it the end for her?
