The Space Shuttle travels at a speed of about 7.8 ✕ 10³ m/s. The blink of an astronaut's eye lasts about 120 ms. How many football fields (length = 91.4 m) does the Shuttle cover in the blink of an eye?

_____Football Fields

Expert Solution

Total distance travelled in one blink= 7.8* 10³ *120*10^-3

= 936m

No of football fields covered=Total distance travelled/ length of one football field

= 936/91.4

=10.24

Approximately 10 football fields are covered in blink of an eye.

A small object with mass m, charge q, and initial speed v0 = 6.00×103 m/s is projected into a uniform electric field between two parallel metal plates of length 26.0 cm (Figure 1). The electric field between the plates is directed downward and has magnitude E = 700 N/C . Assume that the field is zero outside the region between the plates. The separation between the plates is large enough for the object to pass between the plates without hitting...

1) A 1000 kg rocket travels in outer space at 5000 m/s. The rocket then separates into two sections: a 250 kg section that travels at 8000 m/s, and a 750 kg section. All of this takes place in a straight line that you can consider as your x-axis. (Do not assume kinetic energy is constant throughout this process.) A) What is the total momentum of the system before the separation? B) What is the total kinetic energy of the...

A missile in space is traveling at a speed of 1.00×105 m/s along the positive x- axis. The missile breaks into two pieces during an explosion. The larger of the two pieces has a mass that is 80.0 % of the mass of the entire missile. The two pieces separate at different angles with respect to the direction of the initial velocity of the missile before the explosion. Piece 1, the larger, breaks away at an angle of 14.0 degrees...
