Robert has just bought a new model rocket, and is trying to measure its flight characteristics. The rocket engine package claims

that it will maintain a constant thrust of 12.3 N 12.3 N until the engine is used up. Robert launches the rocket on a windless day, so that it travels straight up, and uses his laser range‑finder to meaure that the height of the rocket when the engine cuts off is 10.2 m 10.2 m . He also measures the rocket's peak height, which is 14.7 m 14.7 m . If the rocket has a mass of 0.663 kg 0.663 kg , how much work is done by the drag force on the rocket during its ascent?

Answer:

The work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J

Explanation:

Given :

Thrust force F = 12.3 N

Displacement d = 10.2 m

Mass of rocket m = 0.663 Kg

From work energy theorem,

  W = \Delta K

 W_{t} - Wd - W_{g} = KE

Where W_{t} = thrust work W_{g} = gravitational work

KE = 12.3 \times 10.2 -Wd - 0.663 \times 9.8 \times 10.2

KE = 59.2 -Wd

After cutoff kinetic energy is converted into potential energy,

KE = Wd' + mg\Delta h

Put value of KE

59.2 -Wd = Wd' + 0.663 \times 9.8 \times 4.5

Work done by drag force is given by,

Wd'+Wd =  59.2 -29.23

                 = 29.96 J

Therefore, the work done by the drag force is given by 29.96 J

natita [175]
Both bricks will hit the ground at the same time.

Falling vertically is always accelerating at 9.8 m/s² because of gravity.
Nothing that's happening horizontally has any effect on that.
The brick that happens to have some horizontal motion will 
probably hit the ground way over there, but that will still be
at the same TIME as this one.

This is a perfect place to remind you of the old unbelievable story,
which I'll bet you heard before:

If you fire a bullet horizontally from a gun, and at the exact same
moment you DROP another bullet out of your hand next to the gun,
the two bullets will hit the ground at the same time !  Even though
they'll be far apart.

Horizontal speed has no effect on vertical behavior.

Electrical energy is used to turn the blades of a fan. The amount of energy transformed is seen here: 750 j electrical energy is
MAVERICK [17]

Here is the energy that is left after the quantity of energy is transformed: 750 j of electrical energy is changed into 400 j of kinetic or mechanical energy, which is then turned into 0.32 j of efficient energy.

To run the fan, electrical energy is utilized.

Here, under the specified circumstances, 750 J of electrical energy is utilized to operate the fan, which is transformed into 400 J of kinetic energy. As a result, 350 J of energy is wasted due to various frictional and resistive losses.

Therefore, we may conclude that only 400 J of the 750 J available energy is used to power the fan, with the remaining energy being wasted as a result of friction.

Additionally, we can state that this fan's effectiveness will be

n = Useful ÷ Total

n = 400 ÷ 750

n = 8 ÷ 25

n = 0.32
