The galileo space probe was launched on its long journey past several planets in 1989, with an ultimate goal of jupiter. its power source is 15.6 kg of 238 pu, a by-product of nuclear weapons plutonium production. electrical energy is generated thermoelectrically from the heat produced when the 5.59-mev a particles emitted in each decay crash to a halt inside the plutonium and its shielding. the half-life of 238 pu is 87.7 years. (the atomic mass of 238 pu is 238.05 u.) (a) what was the original activity of the 238 pu in becquerel? bg (b) what power was emitted in kilowatts? kw (c) what power (in kw) was emitted 13.0 y after launch? you may neglect any extra energy from daughter nuclides and any losses from escaping y rays. kw

Wo small variable-thrust jets are actuated to keep the spacecraft angular velocity about the z-axis constant at ? 0 = 1.16 rad/s as the two telescoping booms are extended from r1 = 1.18 m to r2 = 4.69 m at a constant rate over a period of 124 seconds. the small 19-kg experiment modules at the ends of the booms may be treated as particles, and the mass of the rigid booms is negligible. determine the necessary thrust t for each jet as a function of time where t = 0 is the time when the telescoping action is begun. after you have the general expression for t, answer the questions. show work.

You have two photos of a person walking. one shows the person at the corner of third and main streets, the other shows the person at the corner of tenth and main streets. there are lampposts at every corner in this town, and the first picture shows it to be 10: 32: 00 exactly. the second picture shows it to be 10: 49: 30. you know three facts: (1) all of the clocks are synchronized; (2) there are exactly 12 equal-sized blocks per kilometer in this town; and (3) the streets that cross main in this area are numbered consecutively, with no interruptions. what is the person’s average speed in kilometers per hour?
