Paper For Above instruction

The provided set of physics problems covers a range of fundamental topics including impulse and momentum, the relationship between velocity, momentum, and kinetic energy, the motion of objects along curved paths, gravity effects on weight, projectile trajectories, and orbital motion. This paper systematically addresses each question, integrating core physics principles, formulas, and explanations to clarify these concepts thoroughly.

Impulse, Momentum, and Speed Changes (Chapter 7)

The first problem involves analyzing the impulse delivered to crates pushed across a classroom floor over 3 seconds. Impulse (J) is defined as the change in momentum (Δp), mathematically expressed as:

J = Δp = F × Δt

where F is the net force applied and Δt is the time interval. Since the crates start from rest, their initial momentum is zero. The impulse determines how much their momentum changes; thus, the impulse delivered to each crate equals their change in momentum.

Next, consider the ranking of impulse, change in momentum, final speed, and momentum after 3 seconds:

1. Impulse (J): Directly proportional to the net force and time, so the larger the force, the greater the impulse.
2. Change in momentum (Δp): Equals impulse, so it’s also proportional to force and time.
3. Final speed (v_f): With constant mass, final velocity relates to the change in momentum by p = mv, indicating the higher the change in momentum, the higher the final speed.
4. Momentum after 3 seconds (p = mv): Depends on the final velocity, so it follows the same ranking.

Hence, if larger forces act during the push, the order from greatest to least is:

1. Impulse delivered
2. Change in momentum
3. Final speed
4. Momentum in 3 seconds (which equals the change in momentum in magnitude)

Effects of Doubling Velocity on Momentum and Kinetic Energy (Chapter 7)

When the velocity of an object doubles, the momentum (p) = mv also doubles because:

p = mv

Doubling v doubles p, so:

Factor change in momentum = 2

However, kinetic energy (KE) = (1/2)mv². When v doubles:

KE_new = (1/2)m(2v)² = (1/2)m(4v²) = 4 × (1/2)mv²= 4 KE

Thus, the kinetic energy increases by a factor of four.

Motion Along Curved Paths and External Forces (Chapter 8 and 9)

For an object to move along a curved path, a force directed towards the center (centripetal force) must act upon it. Without this inward-directed force, an object cannot follow a curved trajectory and would instead move in a straight line tangential to the path, as per Newton's first law.

On a planet with the same mass as Earth but twice the diameter, the gravity (and thus weight) experienced by an astronaut is affected by the inverse square law:

g = GM/r²

Given that the mass (M) remains constant and the radius (r) doubles, the new acceleration due to gravity g_new is:

g_new = GM/(2r)² = GM/(4r²) = (1/4) × GM/r² = (1/4)g

Therefore, the astronaut’s weight on this larger planet is one-quarter of what it is on Earth.

Projectile Paths and Zero-Gravity Conditions (Chapter 10)

The path of fireworks fragments follows a projectile trajectory characterized by constant acceleration due to gravity. Each fragment ideally traces a parabola, assuming uniform gravity and no air resistance:

Path: y = v_0yt - (1/2)gt²

In a gravity-free environment, there is no acceleration acting on the fragments; thus, their paths would be straight lines in the direction of initial velocity, remaining unaffected by gravity and continuing at constant velocity.

Orbital Motion and Centripetal Acceleration (Chapter 10)

A space shuttle coasting in a circular orbit undergoes continuous change in velocity direction, which constitutes acceleration, according to Newton’s second law:

a = v² / r

Even though the speed remains constant, the direction change implies acceleration directed towards Earth’s center, ensuring the orbit's stability. This centripetal acceleration is fundamental for maintaining circular orbital motion.

Conclusion

This comprehensive overview addresses key physics concepts related to impulse, momentum, kinetic energy, motion along curved paths, gravity effects, projectile motion, and orbital mechanics. Understanding these principles is critical for analyzing real-world phenomena spanning from simple classroom experiments to complex space missions. Correct application of formulas and explanations enhances grasp of physical laws governing motion and forces in our universe.
