A rocket ship at rest in space gives a short blast of its engine, firing 50 kg of exhaust gas out the back end with an average v

elocity of 400 m/s. What is the change in momentum of the rocket during this blast?

Answer:

20,000 Ns

Explanation:

mass of exhaust gases, m = 50 kg

velocity of exhaust gases, v = 400 m/s

The momentum of a body is defined as the measurement of motion of body. mathematically, it is defined as the product of mass off the body an its velocity.

change in momentum of rocket = final momentum - initial momentum

                                                     =  m x v - 0

                                                     = 50 x 400

                                                     = 20,000 Ns

If a star's radial velocity is -50 km/s, the frequency of its light would appear to be ______ (higher or lower) than its true fr
Phoenix [80]

Answer: If a star's radial velocity is -50 km/s, the frequency of its light would appear to be higher than its true frequency. We usually say that the star's wavelength is blue shifted.

Explanation:

Radial velocity is defined as the velocity of how an object is seen by the axis of a circle.

Then, if the radial velocity is -50km/s, this means that the radius is decreasing, and then that the star is coming towards the viewer.

as the star is coming towards the viewer, we will see a shorter wavelength, which implies that the frequency would appear to be bigger as it really is.

and this is called a blue shift, because the blue light is the visible light with the biggest frequency, while the red light is the visible light with the smallest frequency, then we have:

If a star's radial velocity is -50 km/s, the frequency of its light would appear to be higher than its true frequency. We usually say that the star's wavelength is blue shifted.

If she runs 3,223 meters each day and keeps this up for two weeks, how many miles will she have run
seropon [69]

Answer:

28 miles

Explanation:

3,223 meters/day x 14 days = 45,122 meters

1 meter = 3.28 feet

45,122 meters = 148,000 feet

5280 feet = 1 mile

148,000 feet = 28 miles

A 1.51 kg ball and a 1.97 kg ball are connected by a 1.63 m long rigid, massless rod. The rod is rotating clockwise about its ce
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

T = 1.205\,N\cdot m

Explanation:

Needed torque can be estimated by means of the Theorem of Angular Momentum Conservation and Impact Theorem. The center of mass of the system is:

\bar r = \frac{(0\,m)\cdot (1.51\,kg)+(1.63\,kg)\cdot (1.97\,kg)}{1.51\,kg+1.97\,kg}

\bar r = 0.923\,m

Let assume that both masses can be modelled as particles, then:

[(1.51\,kg)\cdot (0.923\,m)^{2} + (1.97\,kg)\cdot (0.707\,m)^{2}]\cdot (38\,\frac{rev}{min} )\cdot (\frac{2\pi\,rad}{1\,rev} )\cdot (\frac{1\,min}{60\,s} ) -T\cdot (7.5\,s) = 0\,\frac{kg\cdot m^{2}}{s}

The torque needed to stop the system is:

T = 1.205\,N\cdot m
