Answer:

Velocity of rocket will be equal to 7.81 m/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the rocket $m_1=4kg$

Mass of fuel is given $m_2=50gram=0.05kg$ ( As 1 kg is equal to 1000 gram )

Velocity of fuel $v_2$ = 625 m/sec

We have to find the velocity of rocket $v_1$

From conservation of momentum we know that initial momentum is equal to final momentum '

So $m_1v_1=m_2v_2$ , here $m_1$ is mass of rocket $v_1$ is velocity of rocket $m_2$ is mass of fuel and $v_2$ is velocity of fuel

So $4\times v_1=625\times 0.05$

$v_1=7.81m/sec$

So velocity of rocket will be equal to 7.81 m/sec

A mass free to vibrate on a level, frictionless surface at the end of a horizontal spring is pulled 35 cm from its equilibrium p

saul85 [17]

Answer:

0.67 s

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic motion (SHM).

The displacement, $x$ , of an SHM is given by

$x = A\cos(\omega t)$

A is the amplitude and $\omega$ is the angular frequency.

We could use a sine function, in which case we will include a phase angle, to indicate that the oscillation began from a non-equilibrium point. We are using the cosine function for this particular case because the oscillation began from an extreme end, which is one-quarter of a single oscillation, when measured from the equilibrium point. One-quarter of an oscillation corresponds to a phase angle of 90° or $\frac{\pi}{4}$ radian.

From trigonometry, $\sin A =\cos B$ if A and B are complementary.

At $t = 0$ , $x = 3.5$

$3.5 = A\cos(\omega \times0)$

$A =3.5$

So

$x = 3.5\cos(\omega t)$

At $t = 0.12$ , $x = 1.5$

$1.5 = 3.5\cos(0.12\omega)$

$\cos(0.12\omega)=\dfrac{1.5}{3.5}=0.4286$

$0.12\omega =\cos^{-1}0.4286$

$0.12\omega = 1.13$

$\omega = 9.4$

The period, $T$ , is related to $\omega$ by

$T = \dfrac{2\pi}{\omega} = \dfrac{2\times3.14}{9.4}=0.67$

Rocket engineers use newton's third law during launch. identify the action force.

rosijanka [135]

The answer is A. Newton's third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. A rocket exerts a large force on the gas that is in the rocket chamber (action). The gas thus exerts a large reaction force forward on the rocket (reaction). The large reaction force is called thrust.

An elevator filled with passengers has a mass of 1683 kg. (a) The elevator accelerates upward from rest at a rate of 1.20 m/s2 f

artcher [175]

Answer:

the tension is 18513N

Explanation:

Given that

mass = 1683kg

acceleration = 1.2m/s^2

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2

T-mg = ma

T = ma + mg

T = m(a +g)

T = 1683 kg(1.20 m/s2 + 9.8)

T = 1683 (11)

T = 18513N

therefore, the tension is 18513N
