A rocket in deep space has an empty mass of 220 kg and exhausts the hot gases of burned fuel at 2500 m/s. What mass of fuel is n

eeded to reach a top speed of 4000 m/s
Physics

Scilla [17]4 years ago

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 .

Which choice correctly describes what happens during heating?
Masja [62]

Answer:

Option 4

Explanation:

During heating actually heat transfer takes place from a body at higher temperature to a body at lower temperature and the heat transfer takes place until both attain the same temperature  

Therefore heat transfer depends on the temperature of the systems

Now while comparing the thermal energies of the systems, if both the systems have same mass then the system which is at higher temperature has greater thermal energy when compared to the system which is at lower temperature

So in this case assuming that both the systems have same mass then the energy will leave the system with greater thermal energy and go into the system with less thermal energy as the system with greater thermal energy in this case will be at higher temperature and we are considering this assumption because thermal energy not only depends on temperature but also depends on mass of the system

What do we mean by the interstellar medium?
Sphinxa [80]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The <u>interstellar medium</u> is the content of matter and energy that exists between stars within a galaxy.

In this sense, two components can be distinguished in the interstellar medium: dust particles and gas.

Dust represents 1% of the interstellar medium in mass, while the gas (consisting mainly of hydrogen and helium) represents 99% of the mass of the interstellar medium.

It should be noted that the interstellar matter is not uniformly distributed but is concentrated in molecular clouds.

Please answer the following question.
Elina [12.6K]

Doppler Shift lets you see a star A. Move back and forth

<h3>What is Doppler Shift?</h3>

This refers to the frequency change of a wave in relation to an observer as it moves back and forth.

Hence, we can see that the thing which astronomers can learn from the Radial Velocity Method is D. Period of orbit and minimum mass of a planet as it measures the wavelengths of absorption lines in its spectrum.

Anne has a sample of a substance. Its volume is 20 cm3, and its mass is 100 grams. What is the sample’s density?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

density = 5000 [kg/m^3]

Explanation:

Density is defined as the relationship between mass and volume.

Now we have:

m = 100 [gr] = 0.1[kg]

V = volume = 20[cm^3]

20[cm^{3}]*1[\frac{m^{3} }{100^{3} cm^{3} } ] = 2*10^{-5}[m^{3} ]

density = 0.1 / (2 x 10^-5)

density = 5000 [kg/m^3]
