A rocket car on a horizontal rail has an initial mass of 2500 kg and an additional fuel mass of 1000 kg. At time t0 the rocket m

otor is ignited and the rocket burns fuel at a rate of 95 kg/s. The exit speed of the exhaust gas relative to the rocket is 2900 m/s. Neglecting drag and friction forces, determine the acceleration and the velocity of the car at time t = 10 s. Plot the acceleration and velocity from time t0 to t = 10 s.

Answer: Acceleration of the car at time = 10 sec is 108 m/s^{2} and velocity of the car at time t = 10 sec is 918.34 m/s.

Explanation:

The expression used will be as follows.

M\frac{dv}{dt} = u\frac{dM}{dt}

\int_{t_{o}}^{t_{f}} \frac{dv}{dt} dt = u\int_{t_{o}}^{t_{f}} \frac{1}{M} \frac{dM}{dt} dt

       = u\int_{M_{o}}^{M_{f}} \frac{dM}{M}

v_{f} - v_{o} = u ln \frac{M_{f}}{M_{o}}

v_{o} = 0

As, v_{f} = u ln (\frac{M_{f}}{M_{o}})

u = -2900 m/s

M_{f} = M_{o} - m \times t_{f}

           = 2500 kg + 1000 kg - 95 kg \times t_{f}s

           = (3500 - 95t_{f})s

v_{f} = -2900 ln(\frac{3500 - 95 t_{f}}{3500}) m/s

Also, we know that

     a = \frac{dv_{f}}{dt_{f}} = \frac{u}{M} \frac{dM}{dt}

        = \frac{u}{3500 - 95 t} \times (-95) m/s^{2}

        = \frac{95 \times 2900}{3500 - 95t} m/s^{2}

At t = 10 sec,

v_{f} = 918.34 m/s

and,   a = 108 m/s^{2}

A car (mass = 1090 kg) is traveling at 30.4 m/s when it collides head-on with a sport utility vehicle (mass = 2880 kg) traveling
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

The sport utility vehicle was traveling at V2= 11.5 m/s.

Explanation:

m1= 1090 kg

V1= 30.4 m/s

m2= 2880 kg

V2= ?

m1*V1 = m2*V2

V2= (m1*V1)/m2

V2= 11.5 m/s

D, all notebooks would hit the floor at the same time. The time it takes to hit the floor is independent of their weight, but rather dependent on the acceleration of gravity. Since gravity is constant, they will all hit the floor at the same time.
