Answer:

Explanation:

Let fuel is released at the rate of dm / dt where m is mass of the fuel

thrust created on rocket

= d ( mv ) / dt

= v dm / dt

this is equal to force created on the rocket

= 220 dv / dt

so applying newton's law

v dm / dt = 220 dv / dt

v dm = 220 dv

dv / v = dm / 220

integrating on both sides

∫ dv / v    = ∫ dm / 220

lnv =  ( m₂ - m₁ ) / 220

ln4000 - ln 2500 = ( m₂ - m₁ ) / 220

( m₂ - m₁ ) = 220 x ( ln4000 - ln 2500 )

( m₂ - m₁ ) = 220 x ( 8.29  - 7.82 )

= 103.4 kg .

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

α = 3×10^-5 K^-1

Explanation:

let ΔL be the change in length of the bar of metal, ΔT be the change in temperature, L be the original length of the metal bar and let α be the coefficient of linear expansion.

then, the coefficient of linear expansion is given by:

α = ΔL/(ΔT×L)

   = (0.3×10^-3)/(100)(100×10^-3)

   = 3×10^-5 K^-1

Therefore, the coefficient of linear expansion is 3×10^-5 K^-1

Please help me answer the following question!
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

P = 0

Explanation:

Momentum is defined as the quentity of motion contained in a body. Mathematically, it can be defined as the product of mass and velocity. So, in order to determine the Volkswagen Beetle, at rest, we can use the simple formula, as follows:

where,

P = Momentum of Volkswagen Beetle = ?

m = Mass of Volkswagen Beetle = 750 kg

v = Velocity of Volkswagen Beetle = 0 m/s (since, it is at rest)

Therefore,

P =
