If the forces are equal and opposite why does the rocket ship move

1 answer:

7 0

<span>A rocket in its simplest form is a chamber enclosing a gas under pressure. A small opening at one end of the chamber allows the gas to escape, and in doing so provides a thrust that propels the rocket in the opposite direction. A good example of this is a balloon. Air inside a balloon is compressed by the balloon's rubber walls. The air pushes back so that the inward and outward pressing forces are balanced. When the nozzle is released, air escapes through it and the balloon is propelled in the opposite direction.</span>

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

The radius of a chamber is 2.36 meters.

Explanation:

Given that,

The outer wall moves at a speed of 2.72 m/s.

Mass of the person, m = 75.1 kg

The person feels a force of 235 N force pressing against his back. The force acting on the person is centripetal force. It is given by the below formula :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

r is the radius of a chamber

$r=\dfrac{mv^2}{F}$

$r=\dfrac{75.1\times (2.72)^2}{235}$

r = 2.36 meters

So, the radius of a chamber is 2.36 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

You're driving down the highway late one night at 20 m/s when a deer steps onto the road 44 m in front of you. Your reaction tim

never [62]

Answer:

14.0 m

25.1 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

Distance traveled in the reaction time

Distance = Speed × Time

$\text{Distance}=20\times 0.5=10\ m$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{0^2-20^2}{2\times -10}\\\Rightarrow s=20\ m$

Distance in which the car will stop is 10+20 = 30.0 m

So, the car will not hit the deer

Distance between the car and deer is 44-30 = 14.0 m

$\text{Distance}=u\times 0.5=0.5u\ m$

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow u^2=v^2-2as\\\Rightarrow u^2=0^2-2\times -10\times (44-0.5u)\\\Rightarrow u^2=20(44-0.5u)\\\Rightarrow u^2=880-10u\\\Rightarrow u^2+10u-880=0$

$u=\frac{-10+\sqrt{10^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-880\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}, u=\frac{-10-\sqrt{10^2-4\cdot \:1\left(-880\right)}}{2\cdot \:1}\\\Rightarrow u=25.08, -35.08\ m/s$

Maximum speed of the car by which it will not hit the deer is 25.1 m/s

The record time for a Tour de France cyclist to ascend the 1100-mm-high Alpe d'Huez is 37.5 minmin. The rider and his bike had a

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

1945.6 W

Explanation:

We are given that

Height,h=1100 m

Time,t=37.5 min= $37.5\times 60=2250 s$

1 min=60 s

Mass,m=65 kg

Power,P=700 W

We have to find the his total metabolic power.

Power,= $P'=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{mgh}{t}=\frac{65\times 9.8\times 1100}{2250}=311.4 W$

Where $g=9.8m/s^2$

Efficiency =25%

Therefore,Power,P'= $\frac{311.4}{0.25}=1245.6 W$

Total metabolic power=P+P'=700+1245.6=1945.6 W

When a wave strikes a new medium, three things can happen: reflection, transmission, and absorption. Consider an echo. Do you th

kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

YES

Explanation:

An echo may be defined as a sound which is repeated because of the sound waves that are produced are reflected back after striking a surface. Sound waves can smoothly bounce off the hard objects in the same manner as a rubber ball bounces back the ground.

When a sound wave strikes a hard surface, the sound waves gets reflected back and bounces back to the observer and produces an echo. If the sound waves strikes a soft surface it absorbs the sound.

Although the direction of a sound changes but the echo sounds in the same way as the original sound.
