Describe how the strong nuclear force between two nucleons varies with the separation of the nucleons, quoting suitable values for separation.

The strong nuclear force is repulsive for nucleon separations less than 0.5 femtometres but doesn't act at roughly 1 femtometre. It becomes attractive between 1 femtometre and 3-4 femtometres, afterwhich ...

A spacecraft called Deep Space 1, mass 486 kg, uses an “ion-drive” engine which expels 0.13 kg of xenon propellant each day at 30kms^-1. What is the initial increase in speed of the spacecraft

Use conservation of momentum (p=mv).Momentum of Xenon = 0.13 kg × 30000 m s^-1 = 3900 kg m s^-1Momentum of spacecraft = 486 kg × vv=3900kgms^−1 /486kg=8.02ms^−1

Solve the Simultaneous equations x^2 + y^2 =29, y-x=3.

y=x+3, Substitute into equation 1 : (x^2) + (x+3)^2 = 29Expand the Brackets : (x^2) + (x^2 + 6x + 9) = 29Collect like terms : 2x^2 + 6x - 20 = 0Take out a factor of two : x^2 +3x -10 = 0Factorise : (x-2)(...
