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

What is the work done if you push a tree with<br> 50 N of force but the tree does not move?
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The work done is 0.

Explanation:

The reason no work is done is because the equation W = Fs.

W = work

F= force

s= displacement

In this scenario F = 50 and s= 0

Therefore.

W = 50(0)

W = 0

A person climbs out of swimming pool and stands in the open air.Explain why evaporation of water from the surface of the persons
Lorico [155]

Answer:

The person feels cool at first because the swimming pool water is usually cool and he/she has that water on his body. But when it evaporates, the cool air directly touches his body and that's why he/she feels cold.
