Answer:

Elastic potential energy = 5.04 J

Explanation:

Given that

Extension e = 18 cm = 0.18 m

Force F = 56N

Elastic potential energy = 1/2Fe

Elastic Potential energy = 1/2 ×56×0.18

Elastic potential energy = 5.04 J

Explanation A 5000 kg rocket is at rest in deep space. The rocket burns fuel pushing 10kg of exhaust gases rearward at 4000 m/s.
katovenus [111]

Answer:

F = 4000 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of rocket (M)= 5000 Kg

10 Kg gas burns at speed (m)= 4000 m/s

time = 10 s

average force = ?

at the end the rocket is at rest

by conservation of momentum

 M v + m v' = 0

 5000 x v - 10 x 4000 = 0

 5000 v = 40000

    v = 8 m/s

speed of rocket = 8 m/s

now,

we know

change in momentum = F x Δ t

F = \dfrac{m(v_i-v_f)}{\Delta t}

F = \dfrac{5000(8-0)}{10}

      F = 4000 N

Hence, the average force applied to the rocket is equal to F = 4000 N

An airplane has a starting velocity of 300m/s. It then accelerates at a rate of 45m/s2 for a time of 10s. What is it's final vel
Olenka [21]
A = (v - u) / t

a = acceleration
v = final velocity
u = initial velocity
t = time

45 = (v - 300) / 10

45 × 10 = v - 300

450 + 300 = v

v = 750 m/s

Hope this helps!

P.S. Let me know if you need an explanation
