A 4.0 kg model rocket is launched, shooting 50.0 g of burned fuel from its exhaust at

Physics

Anettt [7]3 years ago

The velocity of the rocket is 7.8 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the rocket+fuel system must be conserved.

Before the launch, the total momentum of the system is zero, since the rocket and the fuel are at rest:

p=0

After the launch, the total momentum is

p=MV+mv

where

M = 4.0 kg is the mass of the rocket

V is the velocity of the rocket

m = 50.0 g = 0.050 kg is the mass of the fuel ejected

v = -625 m/s is the velocity of the fuel (taking "backward" as negative direction)

Since the total momentum is conserved, we have

0=MV+mv

So we can solve the equation to find V, the velocity of the rocket:

V=-\frac{mv}{M}=-\frac{(0.050)(625)}{4.0}=+7.8 m/s

And the positive sign means the rocket moves forward.

The current that charges a capacitor transfers energy that is stored in the capacitor’s electric field. Consider a 2.0 μF capaci
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

the capacitor voltage is V = 20 V

Explanation:

Given,

Capacitance of the capacitor =  2.0 μF

energy stored = 200 W

time (t) =2.0 μs

Capacitor voltage = ?

\dfrac{dE}{dt}=200 W

E =200\times 2 \times 10^{-6}

E =400 \times 10^{-6}\ J

we know,

E = \dfrac{1}{2}CV^2

V =\sqrt{\dfrac{2E}{C}}

V =\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 400 \times 10^{-6}}{2\times 10^{-6}}}

V =\sqrt{400}

V = 20 V

so , the capacitor voltage is V = 20 V

Why are there so few working wave power stations?
Bond [772]
Well mostly because it's for oceans and lakes that have waves. so if you don't live near any of these, you wouldn't be getting power. <span />
