A rocket sled with an initial mass of 3 metric tons, invluding 1 ton of fuel, rests on a level section of track. At t=0, the sol

id fuel of the rocket is ignited and the rocket burns fuel at the rate of 75 kg/s. The exit speed of the exhaust gas relative to the rocket is 2,500 m/s, and the pressure is atmospheric. Neglecting friction and air resistance, calculate the acceleration and speed of the sled at t = 10 s.

Answer:

v = 719.2 m / s and     a = 83.33 m / s²

Explanation:

This is a rocket propulsion system where the system is made up of the rocket plus the ejected mass, where the final velocity is

           v - v₀ = v_{e} ln (M₀ / M)

where v₀ is the initial velocity, v_{e} the velocity of the gases with respect to the rocket and M₀ and M the initial and final masses of the rocket

In this case, if fuel burns at 75 kg / s, we can calculate the fuel burned for the 10 s

            m_fuel = 75 10

            m_fuel = 750 kg

As the rocket initially had a mass of 3000 kg including 1000 kg of fuel, there are still 250 kg, so the mass of the rocket minus the fuel burned is

              M = 3000 -750 = 2250 kg

let's calculate

            v - 0 = 2500 ln (3000/2250)

            v = 719.2 m / s

To calculate the acceleration, let's use the concept of the rocket thrust, which is the force of the gases on it. In the case of the rocket, it is

             Push = v_{e} dM / dt

let's calculate

             Push = 2500  75

             Push = 187500 N

            If we use Newton's second law

             F = m a

             a = F / m

let's calculate

              a = 187500/2250

              a = 83.33 m / s²

Same speed, because mass is neglected. The things that affect the speed are the distance and speed of the rock.

3. The center of mass (or center of gravity) of a two-particle system is at the origin. One particle
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

B) (-2.0 m, 0.0 m)

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of particle 1 is, m_1=2.0\ kg

Mass of particle 2 is, m_2=3.0\ kg

Position of center of mass is, (x_{cm},y_{cm})=(0,0)

Position of particle 1 is, (x_1,y_1)=(3.0\ m,0.0\ m)

Position of particle 2 is, (x_2,y_2)=(?\ m,?\ m)

We know that, the x-coordinate of center of mass of two particles is given as:

x_{cm}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}

Plug in the values given.

0=\frac{(2.0\times 3)+(3.0\times x_2)}{2.0+3.0}\\\\0=6+3x_2\\\\3x_2=-6\\\\x_2=\frac{-6}{3}=-2.0\ m

We know that, the y-coordinate of center of mass of two particles is given as:

y_{cm}=\frac{m_1y_1+m_2y_2}{m_1+m_2}

Plug in the values given.

0=\frac{(2.0\times 0)+(3.0\times y_2)}{2.0+3.0}\\\\0=0+3y_2\\\\3y_2=0\\\\y_2=\frac{0}{3}=0.0\ m

Therefore, the position of particle 2 of mass 3.0 kg is  (-2.0 m, 0.0 m).

So, option (B) is correct.

What type of planets does the asteroid belt orbit?​
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Main Asteroid Belt: The majority of known asteroids orbit within the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, generally with not very elongated orbits. The belt is estimated to contain between 1.1 and 1.9 million asteroids larger than 1 kilometer (0.6 mile) in diameter, and millions of smaller ones.
