<h3>Answer:</h3>

B. (PE)beginning = (KE)end

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Mass of an object is 72.0 kg
  • Velocity of the body before it hits the ground is 79.0 m/s

We are required to determine the relationship between the potential energy and kinetic energy before the fall.

  • When an object is at the highest point, it has maximum potential energy and minimum kinetic energy.
  • This is because potential energy is directly proportional to the height of an object above the earth's surface.
  • On the other hand, when an object attains the highest speed it has maximum kinetic energy and minimum kinetic energy.

In this case;

  • The velocity of the object when hitting the ground is maximum and thus the object will have maxim,um kinetic energy.
  • As the object falls towards the ground the potential energy is being converted to kinetic energy.
  • Therefore, the potential energy at the beginning will be equal to the kinetic energy at the end when the object is on the ground.
  • We can therefore, conclude that, (PE)beginning = (KE)end

A solid-propellant rocket has chamber pressure of 6.35 atm with propellant density of 3.8 g/cm3 and burn area of 975 cm2 . Find
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

P = 6.35 atm

= 1.01 × 10^5 × 6.35

= 6.434 × 10^5 N/m^2

As = 975 cm^2

D = 3.8 g/cm^2

M = 320 kg

Since the propellant volume is equal to the cross sectional area, As times the fuel length, the volumetric propellant consumption rate is the cross section area times the linear burn rate, bs , and the instantaneous mass flow rate of combustion, ms gases generated is equal to the volumetric rate times the fuel density, D

ms = D × As × bs

ms ÷ bs = M/L

M/L = 3.8 × 975

= 3705 g/cm

= 3.705 × 10^6 kg/m^3

Pressure = mass × g/area

= mass/length × time^2

t = sqrt(3.705 × 10^6/6.43 × 10^5)

= 2.4 s
