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.

An capacitor consists of two large parallel plates of area A separated by a very small distance d. This capacitor is connected t
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Will be doubled.

Explanation:

For a capacitor of parallel plates of area A, separated by a distance d, such that the charges in the plates are Q and -Q, the capacitance is written as:

C = \frac{Q}{V}  = e_0\frac{A}{d}

where e₀ is a constant, the electric permittivity.

Now we can isolate V, the potential difference between the plates as:

V = \frac{Q}{e_0} *\frac{d}{A}

Now, notice that the separation between the plates is in the numerator.

Thus, if we double the distance we will get a new potential difference V', such that:

V' = \frac{Q}{e_0} *\frac{2d}{A} = 2*( \frac{Q}{e_0} *\frac{d}{A}) = 2*V\\V' = 2*V

So, if we double the distance between the plates, the potential difference will also be doubled.

Inside a 30.2 cm internal diameter stainless steel pan on a gas stove water is being boiled at 1 atm pressure. If the water leve
dybincka [34]

Answer:

Q = 20.22 x 10³ W = 20.22 KW

Explanation:

First we need to find the volume of water dropped.

Volume = V = πr²h

where,

r = radius of pan = 30.2 cm/2 = 15.1 cm = 0.151 m

h = height drop = 1.45 cm = 0.0145 m

Therefore,

V = π(0.151 m)²(0.0145 m)

V = 1.038 x 10⁻³ m³

Now, we find the mass of the water that is vaporized.

m = ρV

where,

m = mass = ?

ρ = density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Therefore,

m = (1000 kg/m³)(1.038 x 10⁻³ m³)

m = 1.038 kg

Now, we calculate the heat required to vaporize this amount of water.

q = mH

where,

H = Heat of vaporization of water = 22.6 x 10⁵ J/kg

Therefore,

q = (1.038 kg)(22.6 x 10⁵ J/kg)

q = 23.46 x 10⁵ J

Now, for the rate of heat transfer:

Rate of Heat Transfer = Q = q/t

where,

t = time = (18.6 min)(60 s/1 min) = 1116 s

Therefore,

Q = (23.46 x 10⁵ J)/1116 s

<u>Q = 20.22 x 10³ W = 20.22 KW</u>
