At one instant of time a rocket is traveling in outer space at 2500m/s and is exhausting fuel at a rate of 100 kg/s. If the spee

d of the fuel as it leaves the rocket is 1500 m/s, relative to the rocket, the thrust is:

Thrust is a reaction force described quantitatively by Newton's third law. When a system expels or accelerates mass in one direction, the accelerated mass will cause a force of equal magnitude but opposite direction on that system. Mathematically can be written as,

T = v\frac{dm}{dt}

Here,

v = speed of the exhaust gases measured relative to the rocket.

\frac{dm}{dt}= Rate of change of mass with respect to time

Our values are given as,

v = 1500m/s

\frac{dm}{dt} = 100kg/s

Replacing we have that

T = 1500*100

\therefore T = 1.5*10^5N

Astronomers know that the distance between the Earth and the Sun averages 1.50 x108 km. How can astronomers use the observed ste
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The distance of stars and the earth can be averagely measured by using the knowledge of geometry to estimate the stellar parallax angle(p).

From the equation below, the stars distances can be calculated.

D = 1/p

Distance = 1/(parallax angle)

Stellar parallax can be used to determine the distance of stars from an observer, on the surface of the earth due to the motion of the observer. It is the relative or apparent angular displacement of the star, due to the displacement of the observer.

Explanation:

Parallax is the observed apparent change in the position of an object resulting from a change in the position of the observer. Specifically, in the case of astronomy it refers to the apparent displacement of a nearby star as seen from an observer on Earth.

The parallax of an object can be used to approximate the distance to an object using the formula:

D = 1/p

Where p is the parallax angle observed using geometry and D is the actual distance measured in parsecs. A parsec is defined as the distance at which an object has a parallax of 1 arcsecond. This distance is approximately 3.26 light years

Answer:

Laws of the Park: Newton's First Law

If you understand how a skateboard starts and stops, then you already know something about Newton's first law of motion. This law was developed by English scientist Isaac Newton around 1700.

A particle's position along the x-axis is described by: x(t)=A t + B t​2
ki77a [65]

Answer:

a)V = 25.1 m/s

b)V = 4.226 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

x(t)=A t + B t​²

A = -4.3 m/s

B = 4.9 m/s​²

x(t)=  - 4.3 t +4.9 t​²

The velocity of the particle is given as

V=\dfrac{dx}{dt}

V=-4.3 + 4.9 x 2 t

V= - 4.3 + 9.8  t m/s

Velocity at point t= 3 s

V= - 4. 3 + 9.8 x 3 m/s

V= - 4.3 + 29 .4 m/s

V = 25.1 m/s

At origin :

x= 0 m

0 =  - 4.3 t +4.9 t​²

0 = - 4.3 + 4.9 t

t=\dfrac{4.3}{4.9}\ s

t=0.87 s

The velocity at t= 0.87 s

V= - 4.3 + 9.8  t m/s

V= - 4. 3 + 9.8 x 0.87 m/s

V= - 4.3 + 8.526 m/s

V = 4.226 m/s

a)V = 25.1 m/s

b)V = 4.226 m/s

The friends start by discussing what they know with respect to electric and magnetic fields. Alexa mentions several differences
Sveta_85 [38]

Answer:

A. "The electric force vector is along the direction of the electric field, whereas the magnetic force vector is perpendicular to the magnetic field."

D. "The kinetic energy of a charged particle moving in an electric field is not altered, whereas the kinetic energy of a charged particle moving in a magnetic field is either increased or decreased, depending on the direction of motion."

Explanation:

Electric fields originate from voltage differences, the higher the voltage, the stronger the resulting field. Magnetic fields originate from electric currents, a stronger current results in a stronger field. An electric field exists even if there is no current. When there is current, the magnitude of the magnetic field will change with power consumption, but the strength of the electric field will remain the same.
