A two-stage rocket is traveling at 1200 mis with respect to the earth when the first stage runs out of fuel. Explosive bolts rel

ease the first stage and push it backward with a speed of 35 mis relative to the second stage. The first stage is three times as massive as the second stage. What is the speed of the second stage after the separation?

Answer:

The speed of the second stage after separation is 4905 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

Due to conservation of momentum, the momentum of the system first stage - second stage must remain constant before and after the separation. The momentum of the system is calculated by adding the momentums of each object:

initial momentum = final momentum

m₁₊₂ · v = m1 · v1 + m2 · v2

Where:

m₁₊₂ = mass of the two stage rocket

v = velocity of the rocket

m1 = mass of stage 1

v1 =  velocity of stage 1

m2 = mass of stage 2

v2 = velocity of stage 2

We have the following data:

m1 = 3 · m2

m₁₊₂ = m1 + m2 = 3 · m2 + m2 = 4 · m2

v = 1200 m/s

v1 = -35 m/s  (let´s consider the backward direction as negative)

v2 = ?

Then, replacing these data in the equation of momentum of the system:

m₁₊₂ · v = m1 · v1 + m2 · v2

4 m2 · 1200 m/s = 3 m2 · (-35 m/s) + m2 · v2

Let´s solve the equation for v2:

divide both sides of the equation by m2:

4 · 1200 m/s = 3 · (-35 m/s) + v2

4800 m/s = -105 m/s + v2

v2 = 4800 m/s + 105 m/s = 4905 m/s

The speed of the second stage after separation is 4905 m/s

Answer:

Explanation:

If the second stage has mass M, the total mass of the first and second stages is 4M. Since the stages are separating at 35 m/s, the lighter second stage must have received most of that velocity change: specifically, 3/4 of it. So Stage Two has added (35 * 0.75) m/s to its velocity.  The overall velocity of the second stage is (1200+ (35*0.75) m/s =1226.25 m/s.

3. The propeller of a World War II fighter plane is 2.30 m in diameter. (a) What is its angular velocity in radians per second i
Darya [45]

Answer:

(a) Angular velocity will be 125.6 rad/sec

(b) Linear velocity will be 144.44 m /sec

(c) Centripetal acceleration = 1849.3031 g

Explanation:

We have given diameter d = 2.30 m

So radius r = \frac{d}{2}=\frac{2.30}{2}=1.15m

(a) Speed is given as 1200 rev/min

We know that angular velocity is given by \omega =\frac{2\pi N}{60}=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 1200}{60}=125.6rad/sec

(b) Linear speed is given by v=\omega r=125.6\times 1.15=144.44m/sec

(c) Centripetal acceleration is given by a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{144.44^2}{1.15}=18141.664m/sec^2

We know that g=9.81m/sec^2

So 18141.66m/sec^2=\frac{18141.664}{9.81}=1849.3031g

A 0.683 kg mass moves in SHM at the end of a spring. It takes 1.41 s to move from the position with the spring fully extended to
dsp73

Answer:

Spring constant of the spring will be equal to 9.255 N /m          

Explanation:

We have given mass m = 0.683 kg

Time taken to complete one oscillation is given T = 1.41 sec

We have to find the spring constant of the spring

From spring mass system time period is equal to T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{K}}, here m is mass and K is spring constant

So 1.41=2\times 3.14\sqrt{\frac{0.683}{K}}

0.2245=\sqrt{\frac{0.683}{K}}

Squaring both side

0.0504=\frac{0.4664}{K}

K=9.255N/m

So spring constant of the spring will be equal to 9.255 N /m
