How do mass and energy affect the acceleration of a rocket

Physics
1 answer:
Alona [7]4 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Factors Affecting a Rocket’s Acceleration. The greater the exhaust velocity of the gases relative to the rocket, the greater the acceleration. The faster the rocket burns its fuel, the greater its acceleration. The smaller the rocket’s mass (all other factors being the same), the greater the acceleration.

A Carnot engine whose high-temperature reservoir is at 464 K has an efficiency of 25.0%. By how much should the temperature of t
nexus9112 [7]

Answer

given,

high temperature reservoir (T_c)= 464 K

efficiency  of reservoir (ε)= 25 %

temperature to decrease = ?

increase in efficiency = 42 %

now, using equation

 \epsilon = 1 - \dfrac{T_C}{T_H}

 0.25 = 1 - \dfrac{T_C}{464}

 T_C= (1 - 0.25) \times 464

 T_C= 0.75 \times 464

      T_C = 348 K

now,

if the efficiency is equal to 42$ = 0.42

 T_C= (1 - 0.42) \times 464

 T_C= 0.58 \times 464

 T_C= 269.12\ K

The length of a simple pendulum is 0.66 m, the pendulum bob has a mass of 310 grams, and it is released at an angle of 12 degree
lina2011 [118]
A) the periodic time is given by the equation;
 T= 2π√(L/g)
For the frequency will be obtained by 1/T (Hz)
T = 2 × 3.14 √ (0.66/9.81)
   = 6.28 × √0.0673
    = 1.6289 Seconds
Frequency = 1/T = f = 1/1.6289
 thus; frequency = 0.614 Hz

b)  The vertical distance, the height is given by
 h= 0.66 cos 12
 h = 0.65 m
Vertical fall at the lowest point = 0.66 - 0.65 = 0.01 m
Applying conservation of energy
energy lost (MgΔh) = KE gained (1/2mv²)
 mgh = 1/2mv²
  v² = 2gΔh = 2×9.81 × 0.01 
                   = 0.1962
v = 0.443 m/s

c) total energy = KE + GPE = KE when GPE is equal to zero (at the lowest point possible)
Thus total energy is equal to;
E = 1/2mv²
   = 1/2 × 0.310 × 0.443²
   = 0.0304 J

explain why a high-speed collision between two cars would cause more damage than a low-speed collision between the same two cars
9966 [12]
The force equation can easily prove this.  F=ma.  This states that the force on an object is equal to mass times acceleration.  If the mass stays the same and the velocity of the cars increases than that means there is a larger force.  This is because in both cases the cars are stopping in almost an instant and the times of the crashes are theoretically identical.  Acceleration is the change in velocity over time.  If the velocity is higher with the same amount of time than that means there is a higher acceleration.  If you plug a higher acceleration into the force equation then you wind up with a higher force and in turn a more damaging collision.
