An astronaut in a spacecraft looks out her window and observes a comet travel in the opposite direction at a relative speed of 237 m/s. the velocity of the spacecraft is 114 m/s directly away from the sun. what is the comet's velocity relative to the sun? assume that motion away from the sun is in the positive direction.

Alarge cruise ship of mass 7.00 ✕ 107 kg has a speed of 11.6 m/s at some instant. (a) what is the ship's kinetic energy at this time? (b) how much work is required to stop it? (give the work done on the ship. include the sign of the value in your answer.) (c) what is the magnitude of the constant force required to stop it as it undergoes a displacement of 3.00 km?

Which statements best describe medical uses for radioactive isotopes? check all that apply. radioactive isotopes are used to detect medical problems. high-energy gamma rays are injected into the body. radioactive isotopes are used to treat some diseases. radiation is used to kill cancer cells. radioactive isotopes are directed at tumors from outside the body.

Irrigation channels that require regular flow monitoring are often equipped with electromagnetic flowmeters in which the magnetic field is produced by horizontal coils embedded in the bottom of the channel. a particular coil has 100 turns and a diameter of 6.0 m. when it's time for a measurement, a 4.5 a current is turned on. the large diameter of the coil means that the field in the water flowing directly above the center of the coil is approximately equal to the field in the center of the coil. the field is directed downward and the water is flowing east. the water is flowing above the center of the coil at 1.5 m/s . what is the magnitude of the field at the center of the coil? what is the direction of the force on a positive ion in the water above the center of the coil? what is the magnitude of the force on an ion with a charge +e?
