Chapter 1: Q10Q (page 39)

A spaceship far from all other objects uses its thrusters to attain a speed of 1脳104m/s. The crew then shuts off the power. According to Newton's first law, what will happen to the motion of the spaceship from then on?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The spaceship will move with constant speed, until an unbalanced force starts acting upon it.

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Here given is a space ship moving at a speed of 1脳104ms-1.

02

About Newton’s first law

The first law of Newton's asserts that if a body is at rest or travelling in a straight path at a constant speed, it will remain at rest or continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed until acted upon by a force.

03

Analyzing the situation

According to Newton鈥檚 first law, the spaceship will keep moving with the same speed of 1脳104ms-1until and unless a force acts upon it and changes its direction or speed.

Therefore, the spaceship will move as it is.

In the periodic table on the inside front cover of this book (or one you find on the internet), for each element there is given the "atomic number," the number of protons or electrons in an atom, and the "atomic mass," which is essentially the number of nucleons, protons plus neutrons, in the nucleus, averaged over the various isotopes of the element, which differ in the number of neutrons. Make a graph of the number of neutrons vs. the number of protons in the elements. You needn't graph every element, just enough to see the trend. What do you observe about the data? (This reflects the need for more neutrons in proton-rich nuclei in order to prevent the electric repulsion of the protons of each other from destroying the nucleus.)
