A space vehicle is traveling at 4150 km/h relative to the Earth when the exhausted rocket motor (mass 4m) is disengaged and sent

backward with a speed of 79 km/h relative to the command module (mass m). What is the speed of the command module relative to Earth just after the separation? km/h

Answer:

4213.2 Km/h

Explanation:

Given:

Initial Speed of space vehicle relative to Earth, u = 4150 km/h

Mass of rocket motor = 4m

speed of the rocket motor relative to command module , v'  = 79 Km/h

Mass of the command module = m

Now,

let the speed of command module relative to earth be 'v'

From the conservation of momentum, we have

( 4m + m ) × u = m × v + (4m × (v - v'))

or

5m × 4150 = mv + 4mv - 4mv'

or

20750 = 5v - ( 4 × 79 )

or

20750 = 5v - 316

or

v = 4213.2 Km/h

Water flows through a cylindrical pipe of varying cross-section. The velocity is 5.00 m/s at a point where the pipe diameter is
NISA [10]

Explanation:

We know that rate of flow through a cross section :

v1 \times a1 = v2 \times a2

5 m/s * 1.76cm^2 = v2 * 7.06cm^2

v2 = 1.24 \: m {s}^{ - 1}

Consider a room that is initially at the outdoor temperature of 208C. The room contains a 40-W lightbulb, a 110-W TV set, a 300-
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The rate of increase of the energy content of the room when all the eletrical devices are on is 1650 W.

Explanation:

From conservation of energy,

Rate of energy transfer (\dfrac{dE}{dt}) = Rate of change of energy within the room (E_{in} - E_{out}).

As according to the problem no heat transfer occurs through the walls of the room we can assume that there is no energy transferred to the outside of the room, i.e., E_{out} = 0.

If all the electric devices are on inside the room, then the rate of increase of energy is equal to the power (P_{in}) consumed bt the electrical devices inside the room. Therefore we can write,

\dfrac{dE}{dt} = \dfrac{dE_{in}}{dt} = P_{in} = P_{bulb} + P_{TV} + P_{refrigerator} + P_{iron} = (40 + 110 + 300 + 1200)~W = 1650~W

A psychologist who would claim that a client's personal experience and viewpoint influence behavior more than events in reality would probably use cognitive psychology mixed with developmental aspects to explain the behavior and personality of a person.
