A “sun yacht” is a spacecraft with a large sail that is pushed by sunlight. Although such a push is tiny, it can be used to send the spacecraft outward from the Sun in a cost-free but slow propulsion. Suppose that the spacecraft has a mass of 900 kg and receives a push of 20 N,a) What is the magnitude of the resulting acceleration?b) How far will it travel in 1 day?
c) How fast will it then be moving?

- 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.arrow_forwardIn the law of universal gravitation, Newton assumed that the force was proportional to the product of the two masses (m1m2) . While all scientific conjectures must be experimentally verified, can you provided arguments as to why this must be? (You may wish to consider simple examples in which any other form would lead to contradictory results.)arrow_forwardAs a rocket ascends, its acceleration increases even though the net force on it stays constant. Why? (Assume a traveling distance small enough that the thrust, acceleration due to gravity and atmosphere do not change.) As the rocket ascends, fuel is burned at a faster rate resulting in a larger acceleration.The rocket's mass decreases as its fuel is consumed. The same net force acting on a smaller mass results in a larger acceleration. The faster a rocket moves the more acceleration is imparted to it from a given force.As a rocket ascends its momentum increases with its speed. The greater the momentum of the rocket, the greater the acceleration imparted to it from a given force.arrow_forward
- Recently, the Amazon and Virgin groups launched commercial space flights. These flights do not store fuel on board, instead, they inhale oxygen from the air.
