How can a rocket be propelled forward in space where there is no air to push against?

Physics
1 answer:
pychu [463]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Explanation:

In space, rockets zoom around with no air to push against. ... When a rocket shoots fuel out one end, this propels the rocket forward — no air is required. NASA says this principle is easy to observe on Earth. If you stand on a skateboard and throw a bowling ball forward, that force will push you and the skateboard back.

The short answer is that the displacement is equal tothe area under the curve in the velocity-time graph. The region under the curve in the first 4.0 s is a triangle with height 10.0 m/s and length 4.0 s, so its area - and hence the displacement - is

1/2 • (10.0 m/s) • (4.0 s) = 20.00 m

Another way to derive this: since velocity is linear over the first 4.0 s, that means acceleration is constant. Recall that average velocity is defined as

<em>v</em> (ave) = ∆<em>x</em> / ∆<em>t</em>

and under constant acceleration,

<em>v</em> (ave) = (<em>v</em> (final) + <em>v</em> (initial)) / 2

According to the plot, with ∆<em>t</em> = 4.0 s, we have <em>v</em> (initial) = 0 and <em>v</em> (final) = 10.0 m/s, so

∆<em>x</em> / (4.0 s) = (10.0 m/s) / 2

∆<em>x</em> = ((4.0 s) • (10.0 m/s)) / 2

∆<em>x</em> = 20.00 m

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi
slega [8]
We divide the thin rectangular sheet in small parts of height b and length dr. All these sheets are parallel to b. The infinitesimal moment of inertia of one of these small parts is
dI =r^2*dm
where dm =M(b*dr)/(ab)
Now we find the moment of inertia by integrating from -a/2 to a/2
The moment of inertia is
I= \int\limits^{-a/2}_{a/2} {r^2*dm} = M \int\limits^{-a/2}_{a/2} r^2(b*dr)/(ab)=(M/a)(r^3/3) (from (-a/2) toI=(M/3a)(a^3/8 +a^3/8)=(Ma^2)/12 (a/2))

For crystal diffraction experiments, wavelengths on the order of 0.25 nm are often appropriate.
Kamila [148]

Answer:

A) E = 4.96 x 10³ eV

B) E = 4.19 x 10⁴ eV

C) E = 3.73 x 10⁹ eV

Explanation:

A)

For photon energy is given as:

E = hv

E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of photon = ?

h = 6.625 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

λ = wavelength = 0.25 nm = 0.25 x 10⁻⁹ m

Therefore,

E = \frac{(6.625 x 10^{-34} J.s)(3 x 10^8 m/s)}{0.25 x 10^{-9} m}

E = (7.95 x 10^{-16} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})

<u>E = 4.96 x 10³ eV</u>

<u></u>

B)

The energy of a particle at rest is given as:

E = m_{0}c^2

where,

E = Energy of electron = ?

m₀ = rest mass of electron = 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ kg

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

E = (9.1 x 10^{-31} kg)(3  x  10^8 m/s)^2\\

E = (8.19 x 10^{-14} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})\\

<u>E = 4.19 x 10⁴ eV</u>

<u></u>

C)

The energy of a particle at rest is given as:

E = m_{0}c^2

where,

E = Energy of alpha particle = ?

m₀ = rest mass of alpha particle = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Therefore,

E = (6.64 x 10^{-27} kg)(3  x  10^8 m/s)^2\\

E = (5.97 x 10^{-10} J)(\frac{1 eV}{1.6 x 10^{-19} J})\\

<u>E = 3.73 x 10⁹ eV</u>
