How do mass and energy affect the acceleration of a rocket

Physics

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 rock is thrown horizontally from a high building at 33.8 m/s. What is the magnitude of its velocity 4.25 s later?

<h2>Answer:53.63 $ms^{-2}$ </h2>

Explanation:

The equations of motion used in this question is $v=u+at$

When a object is projected horizontally from a sufficiently height,the x-component of acceleration remains zero because there is no force that drags the object in x direction.

But,due to gravity,the object accelerates downward at a rate of $9.8ms^{-2}$ .

In X-Direction,

Given that initial velocity= $u_{x}$ = $33.8ms^{-1}$

Using $v=u+at$ ,

$v_{x}=33.8+(0)4.25=33.8ms^{-1}$

In Y-Direction,

Given that initial velocity= $u_{x}$ = $0ms^{-1}$

Using $v=u+at$ ,

$v_{y}=0+(9.8)4.25=41.65ms^{-1}$

$v=\sqrt{v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2}}$

$v=\sqrt{1142.44+1734.72}=\sqrt{2877.163}=53.63ms^{-1}$

A bullet is fired into the air at an angle of 45°. How far does it travel before it is 1,000 feet above the ground? (Assume that

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

It travels 1414 feets.

Explanation:

Let's take the length the bullet travels <em>l </em>as the hypotenuse of a right triangle and the height it reaches one of its sides. Since we got the angle α at which it was fired and the height <em>h</em> it reached, we can calculate <em>l</em> using the <em>sin(α)</em> function:

$sin(\alpha )=\frac{opposite side}{hypotenuse}\\sin(\alpha)=\frac{h}{l}\\l=\frac{h}{sin(\alpha)}$
