Scientists are experimenting with a kind of gun that may eventually be used to fire payloads directly into orbit. In one test, this gun accelerates a 2.7-kg projectile from rest to a speed of 8.3 x 10³ m/s. The net force accelerating the projectile is 4.9 x 105 N. How much time is required for the projectile to come up to speed? i 189.8 Units S
A 5000 kg lorry gradually accelerates from rest. There is a box of mass 200 kg on the back of the lorry. The box is not tied to the lorry. The lorry accelerates from rest to a speed of 15 m/s over a certain distance. The maximum frictional force between the lorry and the box is 630 N. The maximum acceleration (in m/s^2) that the lorry can have without the box falling off is: О 3.15 O 15 O 0.126 O10 uo l1:00 ENG 4)

An Atwood’s machine is made of two masses, a string and a pulley. The string goes over the pulley and the pulley rotates freely with no friction. The pulley is so light it can be considered massless. If m1 is 200 grams and m2 is 300 grams,what is the acceleration of mass m2? Please answer in units of m/s2 and assume that the positive y-direction is up.
A spacecraft was designed to assess the ability of an impact to deflect the path of an asteroid. The spacecraft was launched on a rocket. At launch, the rocket has a mass of 555,000 kg and generates a force of 7.6 x 106 N. A. If you were to neglect the effect of gravity, what would the intial acceleration of the rocket be? B. If the acceleration were to remain constant, how fast will the rocket be moving after two seconds? C. As the rocket burns fuel its mass decreases. If the thrust remains the same, how would your answer to part B change? Would the speed after two seconds be lower, the same or higher?
