A rocket of initial mass 115 kg (including all the contents) has an engine that produces a constant vertical force (the thrust)

of 1930 N . Inside this rocket, a 18.5-N electrical power supply rests on the floor.
A) Find the initial acceleration of the rocket.

B) When the rocket has reached an altitude of 120 m, how hard does the floor push on the power supply? Neglect the air resistance.

Answer:

Part (i) the initial acceleration of the rocket is 6.98 m/s²

Part(ii) the floor pushes on the power supply at 120m altitude by a force of 31.68 N

Explanation:

Part (i) the initial acceleration of the rocket.

For the rocket to accelerate, the force applied to it must overcome gravitational force due to its own weight.

F_{Net} = M(a+g)\\\\1930 = 115(a+9.8)\\\\a +9.8 =\frac{1930}{115} \\\\a +9.8 = 16.78\\\\a = 16.78-9.8\\\\a = 6.98 \frac{m}{s^2}

Part(ii) how hard the floor pushes on the power supply at 120 m altitude

At 120 m height, the acceleration of the rocket is 6.98 m/s², which is the same as the power supply.

given force on power supply;

F = 18.5 N

Applying Newton's second law of motion, the mass of the power supply = 18.5/9.8

= 1.888 kg

The force on power supply at this altitude = m(a+g)

                                           = 1.888(6.98 +9.8)

                                           = 1.888(16.78)

                                           = 31.68 N

Therefore, the floor pushes on the power supply at 120 m altitude by a force of 31.68 N

If the half-life of tritium (hydrogen-3) is 12.3 years, how much of
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

0.0000076 grams

Explanation:

We're given the half life of Tritium to be 12.3 years. In order to find out the amount of substabce remaining:

Let's first find how many 'half lives' are in 250 years.

n =  \frac{250}{12.3}  = 20.325

Now what is half life? It means the time taken for a given quantity of an element to lose half it's mass.

So in 12.3 years we can find that The amount of 250 g of Tritium will be 250/2 = 125 g. In 24.6 years we'll have 125/2 = 62.5 g

So now we can devise a formula:

m =  \frac{original \: amount}{ {2}^{n} }

Where m is the remaining amount and n is th number of half lives in the time given.

Using this formula we can calculate:

m =  \frac{10}{ {2}^{20.325} }

Doing this calculation we get:

m = 0.0000076 \: g

As we can see a very small value remains.

Jamison walks to a friends house. He walks 1000 meters north, then realizes he walked to far so he turns around and walks 200 me
olasank [31]

We will find that his average velocity is 1.11 m/s north-wise.

<h3>How to get the average velocity?</h3>

We define average velocity as the quotient between the displacement and the time it takes to make that displacement.

We know that he starts at the point 0m, where this measures distance in the north direction.

Then he moves 1000 meters north, so the new position is 1000m.

Then he moves 200 meters south, so the new position is:

1000m - 200m = 800m.

The displacement is equal to the difference between the final position (800m) and the initial position (0m).

D = 800m - 0m = 800m.

And we know that it takes 12 minutes to walk that distance. Because we want the average velocity in meters per second, we write:

12 minutes = 12*(60 seconds) = 720s

Then the average velocity is just:

AV = (800m)/(720s) = 1.11 m/s

And the direction of this average velocity is north-wise.

two astronauts are taking a spacewalk outside the International Space Station the first astronaut has a mass of 64 kg the second
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Approximately 0.88\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}} to the right (assuming that both astronauts were originally stationary.)

Explanation:

If an object of mass m is moving at a velocity of v, the momentum p of that object would be p = m\, v.

Since momentum of this system (of the astronauts) conserved:

\begin{aligned} &(\text{Total Final Momentum}) \\ &= (\text{Total Initial Momentum})\end{aligned}.

Assuming that both astronauts were originally stationary. The total initial momentum of the two astronauts would be 0 since the velocity of both astronauts was 0\!.

Therefore:

\begin{aligned} &(\text{Total Final Momentum}) \\ &= (\text{Total Initial Momentum})\\ &= 0\end{aligned}.

The final momentum of the first astronaut (m = 64\; {\rm kg}, v = 0.8\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} to the left) would be p_{1} = m\, v = 64\; {\rm kg} \times 0.8\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} = 51.2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}} to the left.

Let p_{2} denote the momentum of the astronaut in question. The total final momentum of the two astronauts, combined, would be (p_{1} + p_{2}).

\begin{aligned} & p_{1} + p_{2} \\ &= (\text{Total Final Momentum}) \\ &= (\text{Total Initial Momentum})\\ &= 0\end{aligned}.

Hence, p_{2} = (-p_{1}). In other words, the final momentum of the astronaut in question is the opposite of that of the first astronaut. Since momentum is a vector quantity, the momentum of the two astronauts magnitude (51.2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}) but opposite in direction (to the right versus to the left.)

Rearrange the equation p = m\, v to obtain an expression for velocity in terms of momentum and mass: v = (p / m).

\begin{aligned}v &= \frac{p}{m} \\ &= \frac{51.2\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}}{64\; {\rm kg}} && \genfrac{}{}{0}{}{(\text{to the right})}{} \\ &\approx 0.88\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}} && (\text{to the right})\end{aligned}.

Hence, the velocity of the astronaut in question (m = 58.2\; {\rm kg}) would be 0.88\; {\rm m \cdot s^{-1}} to the right.
