The landing of a spacecraft is cushioned with the help of airbags. During its landing on Mars, the velocity of downward fall is 16 meters/second. Immediately after the impact, the velocity is reduced to 1.2 meters/second. If the spacecraft has a mass of 11.5 × 104 kilograms, what is your estimate for the impulse if the time of impact is 0.8 seconds?

We all use gps today, even if we don't drive yet. i bet you have been in the car with a parent and they have asked you to get out your phone to find a specific location. in your car, on the phone, you are using a very sophisticated technology. gps satellites circle the earth twice a day in a very precise orbit and transmit signal information to earth. gps receivers take this information and use trilateration to calculate the user's exact location. essentially, the gps receiver compares the time a signal was transmitted by a satellite with the time it was received. the time difference tells the gps receiver how far away the satellite is. now, with distance measurements from a few more satellites, the receiver can determine the user's position and display it on the unit's electronic map. what type of signal is utilized by the gps satellite?
