A satellite in a force - free space sweeps stationary interplanetary dust at a rate `dM//dt = alpha v`, where `M` is the mass , `v`is the velocity of the satellite and `alpha` is a constant. What is the deacceleration of the satellite ?

A

`-2 alphav^(2)//M`

B

`-2alphav^(2)//M`

C

`alphav^(2)//M`

D

`-alphav^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`F=-alphav^(2)`
`therefore a=(-alphav^(2))/(M)`

A car P is moving with a uniform speed 5sqrt3 m//s towards a carriage of mass 9 kg at rest kept on the rails at a point B as shown in figure. The height AC is 120 m. Cannon balls of 1 kg are fired from the car with an initial velocity 100m//s at an angle 30^@ with the horizontal. The first cannon hall hits the stationary carriage after a time t_0 and sticks to it. Determine t_0 . At t_0 , the second cannon ball is fired. Assume that the resistive force between the rails and the carriage is constant and ignore the vertical motion of the carriage throughout. If the second ball also hits and sticks to the carriage, what will be the horizontal velocity of the carriage just after the second impact?

An artificial satellite (mass m) of a planet (mass M) revolves in a circular orbit whose radius is n times the radius R of thhe planet in the process of motion the satellite experiences a slight resistance due to cosmic dust.

In problems involving electromagenetism it is often convenlent and informative to express answers in terms of a constant, alpha , which is a combination of the Coulomb constant, k_(e) = 1//4piepsi_(0) , the charge of the electron, e, and h = h//2 , h being Planck's constant. For instant, the lowest energy that a hydrogen atom can have is given by E = 1//2 alpha^(2) mc^(2) , wherer m is the mass of the electron and c is the speed of light. Which of the following is the correct expression for alpha ? (HINt : non-relativistic kinetic energy is 1//2 mv^(2) , where v is speed.)

The velocity of a particle moving in the positive direction of the x axis varies as v=alphasqrtx , where alpha is a positive constant. Assuming that at the moment t=0 the particle was located at the point x=0 , find: (a) the time dependence of the velocity and the acceleration of the particle, (b) the mean velocity of the particle averaged over the time that the particle takes to cover the first s metres of the path.

A satellite of mass M_(S) is orbitting the earth in a circular orbit of radius R_(S) .
