<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.

A grandfather clock is "losing" time because its pendulum moves too slowly. Assume that the pendulum is a massive bob at the end
IgorC [24]

Answer:

d) shortening the string

Explanation:

Time period of a pendulum clock is dependent on two factors namely:length and acceleration due to gravity.

When a clock loses time, the time period of the pendulum clock increases.

This however can be corrected by decreasing the length of the pendulum.The time period of the pendulum clock is not dependent on the mass of the bob. The time period of the pendulum clock can be corrected only by changing the length of the pendulum string.

When measuring accelerations with three different graphs (x-t, v-t, a-t) which gives the most reliable results and why?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

the best graph to find the acceleration is v-t since calculating the slope averages the different experimental errors.

Explanation:

The different graphics depending on time give various information, let's examine what we can get from some

Graph of x -t. from this graph we can obtain the speed through the slope, but the acceleration is not directly obtainable

v-t chart. We can get the acceleration not through the slope and the distance traveled by the area under the curve. Obtaining acceleration is very accurate since it is an average that avoids possible errors in measurements. This is the best graph to find the acceleration

Graph of a-t In this graph the acceleration is a point on the Y axis, it gives some errors because it depends strongly on the possible experimental errors.

In conclusion, the best graph to find the acceleration is v-t since calculating the slope averages the different experimental errors.
