This speed is measured with respect to the space station the spacecraft was originally launched from. in interstellar space the gravitational pull from the stars is negligible, because the stars are extremely far. the spacecraft turns its main rocket engine on for a time period of 6.5 hours. the rocket engine provides a thrust of 896 n of force. what is the new speed of the craft after the engine is turned off? the mass of the spacecraft is 1380 kg. the rocket engine is very efficient, it uses only a very small amount of rocket fuel during this whole acceleration process without changing the mass of the craft.

Ten students stand in a circle and are told to make a transverse wave. what best describes the motion of the students? each student bumps the shoulder of his or her neighbor. at the exact time, all students take a step to the right. the students skip clockwise, going in a circular motion. one at a time, each student lifts his or her hands up and then down.

We want to calculate the total metabolic heat generated by a singing canary taking into account heat transfer by radiation, convection and exhaling air. the air temperature is 20 oc, canary’s body internal and surface temperature is 33oc, external body surface convective heat transfer coefficient is 25.2 w/m2 .k, temperature difference between the inhaled and exhaled air is 4.3 oc, the ventilation rate is 0.74 cc of air per second, specific heat of air is 1.0066 kj/kg.k and density of air is 1.16 kg/m3 . assume the canary’s body to be a cylinder with 7 cm diameter and 9 cm length, and heat exchange is from the side as well as the top and bottom of cylinder. calculate 1) the net rate of heat lost by radiation, assuming heat gained by the bird through radiation from the surroundings is 11.5 w; 2) rate of heat transferred by convection to the surrounding air; 3) rate of heat transferred in the exhaling air without considering any internal evaporation; 4) total metabolic power.

Acrow drops a 0.11kg clam onto a rocky beach from a height of 9.8m. what is the kinetic energy of the clam when it is 5.0m above the ground? what is its speed at that point?
