<u>Yes. The speed of a rocket can exceed the exhaust speed of the fuel.</u>

How this is explained?

  • The thrust of the rocket does not depend on the relative speed of the gases or the relative speed of the rocket.
  • It depends on conservation of momentum.

What is conservation of momentum?

  • Conservation of momentum, general law of physics according to which the quantity called momentum that characterizes motion never changes in an isolated collection of objects; that is, the total momentum of a system remains constant.
  • Momentum is equal to the mass of an object multiplied by its velocity and is equivalent to the force required to bring the object to a stop in a unit length of time.
  • For any array of several objects, the total momentum is the sum of the individual momenta.
  • There is a peculiarity, however, in that momentum is a vector, involving both the direction and the magnitude of motion, so that the momenta of objects going in opposite directions can cancel to yield an overall sum of zero.

how to A golf ball of mass 0.045 kg is hit off the tee at a speed of 45 m/s. The golf club was in contact with the ball for 3.5
Alexandra [31]

Answer: a) 12857.1 m/s/s b) 578.6 N

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = mV2 - mV1

V = AT, 45 / .0035 = 12857.1 m/s/s

(b) .045 x 12857.1 = 578.6 N

A 4 kg toy car moves horizontally on a rough road with coefficient of kinetic friction 0.2. It accelerates from rest to 20 m/s i
attashe74 [19]

The total work done on the car is 784Joule.

<h3>What's the acceleration of the car?</h3>
  • As per Newton's equation of motion, V= U+at
  • U= initial velocity= 0 m/s

V= vinal velocity= 20m/s

t= time = 10s

a= acceleration

  • So, 20= 0+ 10a

=> a= 20/10= 2m/s²

<h3>What's the distance covered by the car in 10 seconds?</h3>
  • As per Newton's equation of motion,

V²-U² = 2aS

  • S= distance covered by the car
  • So, 20²-0=2×2×S=4S

=> 400= 4S

=> S= 400/4= 100m

<h3>What's the work done on the car due to frictional force?</h3>

Work done by frictional force= frictional force × distance

= (0.2×4×9.8)×100

= 784Joule

Thus, we can conclude that the work done on the car is 784Joule.

What is the momentum of a 2.0kg ball rolling at 6.0 m/s
irga5000 [103]
Momentum can be defined by the formula p=m*V (where m is mass and V is velocity) so if we plug in these numbers:

p = 2kg * 6m/s
p = 12 kgm/s
