A space probe in outer space has a mass of 111kg, and it is traveling at a speed of29m/s. When it is at location(445,535,350)mit begins firing two booster rockets. The rockets exert constant forces of(90,150,190)Nand(90,90,585)N, respectively. The rockets fire until the spacecraft reaches location(449,541,354)m. Now what is its speed? There is negligible mass loss due to the rocket exhaust.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The speed of the rocket derived from the given values is 29.8鈥尘/蝉.

Step by step solution

01

Given Data

The mass ism=111kg

The initial speed isv=29m/s

The initial position isdi=(445,535,350)鈥尘

The final position isdf=(449,541,354)鈥尘

The constant forces exerted by the rockets,(90,150,190)鈥塏

The displacement of the space probe is(90,90,585)鈥塏

02

Concept of the kinetic energy equation and energy principle

Find for the displacement of the probe by subtracting the initial position from the final position.

d=dfdid=dfdi

Apply the energy principle where the change in energy of a system or object is equal to the work done and energy input of the surroundings. This can be expressed as,

Ef=Ei+W

The system has two kinds of energy, the kinetic energy which associated with its motion and the rest energy where it has zero speed. The summation of both energies called the particle energy.

Then can be further expressed(Kf+mc2)=(Ki+mc2)+W.

03

Determine the value of displacement of the probe

The formula above can be broken down into another expression where in the rest energy (mc2)can be cancelled out since there is no change in its rest energy. In this expression, K=12mv2

12mvf2+mv2=12mvi2+mv2+W12mvf2=12mvi2+W

Wcan be broken down as (F1d+F2d)

d=dfdi=(449,541,354)鈥尘(445,535,350)鈥尘=(4,6,4)鈥尘

04

Determine the value of kinetic energy

Ef=Ei+W12mvf2=12mvi2+(F1d+F2d)12(111kg)(vf2(29ms1)2)=[((90,150,195)鈥塏(4,6,4)鈥尘)+((90,90,585)鈥塏(4,6,4)鈥尘)]55.5vf246675.5鈥塉=2640鈥塉vf=2640+46675.555.5鈥尘/蝉=29.8鈥尘/蝉

Therefore, the speed of the rocket is29.8m/s .

A nucleus whose mass is 3.49961210-25kgundergoes spontaneous alpha decay. The original nucleus disappears and there appear two new particles: a He-4 nucleus of mass 6.64067810-27kg(an 鈥渁lpha particle鈥 consisting of two protons and two neutrons) and a new nucleus of mass3.43313210-25kg (note that the new nucleus has less mass than the original nucleus, and it has two fewer protons and two fewer neutrons). (a) When the alpha particle has moved far away from the new nucleus (so the electric interactions are negligible), what is the combined kinetic energy of the alpha particle and new nucleus? (b) How many electron volts is this? In contrast to this nuclear reaction, chemical reactions typically involve only a few eV.
