A rocket with a mass of 2.0 Ã 106 kg is designed to take off from the surface of the earth by burning fuel and ejecting it with

an exhaust speed of 3500 m/s. what is the minimum rate at which the fuel should be consumed in order to attain liftoff?

thrust force getting from the burning of mass should balance the weight of the rocket

here thrust force is given as

F_t = v\frac{dm}{dt}

now by force balance we can say

mg = v \frac{dm}{dt}

now plug in all values in this

(2 \times 10^6)(9.8) = 3500 \times \frac{dm}{dt}

\frac{dm}{dt} = \frac{19.6 \times 10^6}{3500}

\frac{dm}{dt} = 5600 kg/s

so rate of mass burning per second will be 5600 kg per second in order to lift up the rocket

AleksandrR [38]

We know, by conservation of energy :

\dfrac{kx^2}{2}=mgh

Therefore,

\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}

Putting given values, we get :

\dfrac{x_1^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{h_1}{h_2}\\\\\dfrac{4.9^2}{x_2^2}=\dfrac{50.2}{2\times 50.2}\\\\x_2^2=2\times 4.9^2\\\\x_2 = 4.9\times \sqrt{2}\\\\x_2=6.93\ cm

Therefore, the spring be compressed to 6.93 cm to send the ball twice as high.

Hence, this is the required solution.

shepuryov [24]
When a circuit is complete, or closed, electrons can flow from one end of a battery all the way around, through the wires, to the other end of the battery. Along its way, it will carry electrons to electrical objects that are connected to it – like the light bulb – and make them work!

UNO [17]
<h2>Spring constant is 14.72 N/m</h2>

Explanation:

We have for a spring

            Force =  Spring constant x Elongation

            F = kx

Here force is weight of mass

           F = W = mg = 0.54 x 9.81 = 5.3 N

Elongation, x  = 36 cm = 0.36 m

Substituting

           F = kx

           5.3 = k x 0.36

             k = 14.72 N/m

Spring constant is 14.72 N/m

What happens to an electromagnetic wave as it passes from space to matter?
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

When an electromagnetic wave passes from space to matter, some part of the energy is absorbed by the matter and it increases its energy. The wave may reflect and some part may pass through the matter depending on the amount of energy they have. The amplitude of the wave decreases if some parts of it are reflected.
