Exhibit 4-2
Newton approximated motion in a circle as a series of linear motions, as in the polygon below.
Assume that the particle moves at constant speed vA from A to B, and at constant speed vB from B to C.
Use this exhibit to answer the following question(s).
Refer to Exhibit 4-2. The direction of the change in velocity,
, at point B, is shown by the arrow ina.
Physics & Space Science
Velocity Addition: A spaceship is moving away from an asteroid with a speed of 0.80c relative to the asteroid. The spaceship then fires a missile with a speed of 0.50c relative to the spaceship. What is the speed of the missile measured by astronauts on the asteroid if the missile is fired toward the asteroid?
A. 0.30c B. 0.50c C. 0.93c D. 1.3c E. 0.65c
Two radio antennas are 10 km apart on a north-south axis on high mountain tops at the seacoast. The antennas broadcast identical AM radio signals, in phase, at a frequency of 4.70 MHz
A steamship, 200 km offshore, travels toward the north at 15 km/h and passes east of the antennas. A radio on board the ship is tuned to the broadcast frequency. The reception of the radio signal on the ship is a maximum at a given instant. How much later until the next occurrence of maximum reception? (c = 3.00 × 108 m/s) A) 5.1 min B) 3.8 min C) 6.4 min D) 7.7 min E) 8.9 min
A heat pump has a coefficient of performance of 4 . If the heat pump absorbs 20 cal of heat from the cold outdoors in each cycle, the heat expelled (in cal) to the warm indoors is
a. 34 b. 27 c. 36 d. 40 e. 80
