A spaceprobe in outer space is flying with a constant speed of 1.795 km/s. The probe has a payload of 1635.0 kg and it carries 4

092.0 kg of rocket fuel. The rocket engines of the probe are capable of expelling propellant at a speed of 4.161 km/s. Then the rocket engines are fired up. How fast will the spaceprobe travel when all the rocket fuel is used up?

The speed by which the spaceprobe travels when all the rocket fuel is used up will be 29.262 m/sec.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of linear momentum?</h3>

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum before the collision is equal to the momentum after the collision. These laws state how momentum gets conserved.

Unit conversion;

1 km/sec = 1000 m/sec

Given data;

Spaceprobe speed  = 1.795 km/s = 1795 m /sec

Probe mass = 635.0 kg

Fuel mass = 4092.0 kg

Expelled propellent velocity = 4.161 km/s = 41461 m/sec

From the momentum conservation principle;

\rm P_i = P_f \\\\ (m_p+m_f)v_i = m_pV - m_fv_p \\\\ V = \frac{(635+4092)1795+4092 \times  41461}{635} \\\\ V = 280540.7 \ m/sec \\\\ V = 28.05 m/sec

Hence, the speed by which the spaceprobe travels when all the rocket fuel is used up will be 29.262 m/sec.

WHY does an acceleration cause velocity to increase
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

When the velocity of an object changes it is said to be accelerating. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. ... Acceleration occurs anytime an object's speed increases or decreases, or it changes direction.

A car traveling at 30 m/s speeds up to 35 m/s over a period of 5 seconds. What is the acceleration of the car?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

u =30 m/s

v = 35 m/s

t = 5 secs

Explanation:

a = (v- u)/t

a = (35-30)/5

a = 5/5

a = 1 m/s^2

The velocity of blood flow is ________. A) in direct proportion to the total cross-sectional area of the blood vessels B) slower
Leto [7]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

The velocity at which blood flows in the blood vessels is inversely proportional to the total cross-sectional area of the blood vessels present in the body. This means that if the cross sectional area of the vessels low, then there will be high rate of blood flow, and vice versa. This blood flow is minimum in the case of capillaries, where it gets enough time for the exchanging of essential nutrients as well as gases.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

The whale shark is the largest of all fish and can have the mass of three adult
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

m = 20,000 kg

Explanation:

Force, F=2.5\times 10^4\ N

Acceleration of the shark, a=1.25\ m/s^2

It is required to find the mass of the shark. Let m is the mass. Using second law of motion to find it as follows :

F = ma

Putting the value of F and a to find m

m=\dfrac{F}{a}\\\\m=\dfrac{2.5\times 10^4}{1.25}\\\\m=20,000\ kg

So, the shark's mass is 20,000 kg.
