A rocket in deep space has an empty mass of 150 kg and exhausts the hot gases of burned fuel at 2500 m/s. It is loaded with 600

kg of fuel, which it burns in 30 s. What is the rocket’s speed 10 s, 20 s, and 30 s after launch?

Answer:

v(10\,s) \approx 775.387\,\frac{m}{s}

v(20\,s)\approx 1905.350\,\frac{m}{s}

v(30\,s) \approx 4023.595\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The speed of the rocket is given the Tsiolkovsky's differential equation, whose solution is:

v (t) = v_{o} - v_{ex}\cdot \ln \frac{m}{m_{o}}

Where:

v_{o} - Initial speed of the rocket, in m/s.

v_{ex} - Exhaust gas speed, in m/s.

m_{o} - Initial total mass of the rocket, in kg.

m - Current total mass of the rocket, in kg.

Let assume that fuel is burned linearly. So that,

m(t) = m_{o} + r\cdot t

The initial total mass of the rocket is:

m_{o} = 750\,kg

The fuel consumption rate is:

r = -\frac{600\,kg}{30\,s}

r = -20\,\frac{kg}{s}

The function for the current total mass of the rocket is:

m(t) = 750\,kg - (20\,\frac{kg}{s} )\cdot t

The speed function of the rocket is:

v(t) = - 2500\,\frac{m}{s}\cdot \ln \frac{750\,kg -(20\,\frac{kg}{s} )\cdot t}{750\,kg}

The speed of the rocket at given instants are:

v(10\,s) \approx 775.387\,\frac{m}{s}

v(20\,s)\approx 1905.350\,\frac{m}{s}

v(30\,s) \approx 4023.595\,\frac{m}{s}

Define Nuclear Physics ?​
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

Definition. Nuclear physics is the study of the protons and neutrons at the centre of an atom and the interactions that hold them together in a space just a few femtometres (10-15 metres) across. Example nuclear reactions include radioactive decay, fission, the break-up of a nucleus, and fusion, the merging of nuclei.

The law of reflection says that the angle of incidence is
nekit [7.7K]
The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Furthermore, the law of reflection states that the incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal all lie in the same plane.

hope this helps :)
