Aspace probe has two engines. each generates the same amount of force when fired, and the directions of these forces can be independently adjusted. when the engines are fired simultaneously and each applies its force in the same direction, the probe, starting from rest, takes 21.2 s to travel a certain distance. how long does it take to travel the same distance, again starting from rest, if the engines are fired simultaneously and the forces that they apply to the probe are perpendicular?

25.2 s

Explanation:

In an uniformly accelerated motion starting from rest, the time taken for the motion is given by the equation

where t is the time, d is the distance covered, a is the acceleration.

We also know that the acceleration can be found by using Newton's second law:

where is the net force on the object and m its mass. Substituting into the previous equation,

(1)

So we see that the time taken for the motion is inversely proportional to the square root of the net force.

Let's consider now the space probe in the problem. Let's call F the magnitude of the force generated by each engine.

When the two forces are applied in the same direction, the net force on the space probe is

But when the two forces are applied perpendicularly, the net force is

Using eq.(1) we can write:

where t' is the new duration of the motion. Solving for t',

elly's long hair:

a. if the salon only takes cash, then this isn't the problem. it doesn't matter how much she has in her checking account.   she can't get a haircut until she has the cash.

b. if she has overdraft protection, then there's no problem.   she can go ahead and write a check that her account can't cover, then sometime later, pay the bank some outrageous usury for loaning her a few bucks for a few days, but with beautiful hair.

c. if elly has some principles, and doesn't want to write a bad check, then now she has a problem.   her desire for the new hairstyle is in conflict with her honesty and integrity.

d.   if the bank will not process a check she writes, then even if she had a million $$ in her account, she couldn't use any of it.   the amount she has in her account is not the problem.   and if i may suggest, she might as well close her checking account, and put the money where it'll work for her.   it's not doing her a bit of good in a checking account, since she can't write any checks.

justin can't pay the full balance:

a. he can't even handle the credit limit he has now.   under no circumstances should he ask for a higher limit.

b.   he can ask for the grace period to be extended.   but that's no solution, the bank will almost certainly refuse anyway, and there are much better options.   he knew the rules of his credit card when he started using it.

c.   he definitely should pay the interest on the balance, plus as much of the balance as he can cover at the same time.

d.   he definitely should pay the minimum otherwise they could shut down his card.   he should also pay as much more as he possibly can.   he should also remember the awkward situation he's in, stop buying stuff on credit that he can't afford, and avoid adding any more debt.

i'd say that justin's best best option isn't on this list of choices.   what he has to do:   pay as much as he can at least the minimum payment plus as much more as he can and then avoid adding more debt.
