A space vehicle is traveling at 3760 km/h relative to Earth when the exhausted rocket motor is disengaged and sent backward. The

relative speed between the motor and the command module is then 90 km/h. The mass of the motor is four times the mass of the module. What is the speed of the command module relative to Earth just after the separation?

Answer:

3688 km/h

Explanation:

Given:-

- The speed of vehicle relative to earth, vs_e = 3760 km/h

- The relative speed of command and motor, v_c/m = 90 km/h

- The mass of command = m

- The mass of motor = 4m

Find:-

What is the speed of the command module relative to Earth just after the separation?

Solution:-

- Consider the space vehicle as a system that detaches itself into two parts ( command and motor ). We will assume that the gravitational pull due to Earth on the space vehicle is negligible. With that assumption we have our system in isolation. We will apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum on the system as follows:

             Initial momentum = Final momentum

                                       Pi = Pf

                  M*vs_e = m*vc_e + 4m*vm_e

Where,

                  M = m + 4m = 5m

                  vc_e = Velocity of command relative to earth

                  vm_e = Velocity of motor relative to earth  

- We will develop a relation of velocities of command and motor in the frame of earth as follows:

                  vm_e =  v_c/m + vc_e        

- Substituting (vm_e) from Equation 2 into Equation 1, we have:

                  5m*vs_e = m*vc_e + 4m*(v_c/m + vc_e)

                  5m*vs_e = 5m*vc_e + 4m*(v_c/m)

- Solve for vc_e:

                  5m*vs_e -  4m*(v_c/m) = 5m*vc_e

                   vs_e - 0.8*(v_c/m) = vc_e

- Plug in values and evaluate vc_e:

                  vc_e = 3760 - 0.8*(90)

                  vc_e = 3,688 km/h

Answer:

The command module is traveling at 3832 km/h after the separation.

Explanation:

Let's call the mass of the module M, and the mass of the motor is 4M. The total mass of the vehicle, then, is M + 4M = 5M.

Now, momentum = force x distance.

Thus, momentum of the vehicle before separation 3760 x 5M = 18800M kg-km/h.

Let's call the velocity of the motor v. So the velocity of the module must be v + 93.

Now, after the separation, the momentum of the motor will be 4Mv, and the momentum of the module is M(v + 90) = Mv + 90M. The total momentum is 4MV + Mv + 90M = 5Mv + 90M.

From conservation of momentum that says initial momentum equals final momentum, we have;

18800M = 5Mv + 90M

Divide both sides by M to get;

18800 = 5v + 90

18800 - 90 = 5v

18710 = 5v

v = 18710/5

v = 3742 km/h

But v is the velocity of the motor, so we have to add 90 to get the velocity of the module, thus, velocity of module = 3742 + 90 = 3832

So the command module is traveling at 3832 km/h after the separation.

Martije has made a slight error in naming a compound monocarbon tetrabromide. What compound is she most likely naming, and what
Alik [6]

Answer: CBr_4 : carbon tetrabromide

Explanation:

CBr_4 is a covalent compound because in this compound the sharing of electrons takes place between carbon and bromine. Both the elements are non-metals. Hence, it will form covalent bond.

The naming of covalent compound is given by:

1. The less electronegative element is written first.

2. The more electronegative element is written second. Then a suffix is added with it. The suffix added is '-ide'.

3. If atoms of an element is greater than 1, then prefixes are added which are 'mono' for 1 atom, 'di' for 2 atoms, 'tri' for 3 atoms and so on.

Hence, the correct name for CBr_4 is carbon tetrabromide.

The answer is the last choice.

Its electrical potential energy stays the same because it has the same electric potential. The reason why is that moving the charge towards X does not change the distance of the negative charge between the plates. The Electrical potential energy of a particle is the result energy by virtue of its position from the electrical fields produce by the plates both positive and negative. Since the charge is still equidistant to each other (assuming based from the diagram) no change in terms of electrical energy consumption or work was done.

A thin spherical shell with radius R1 = 2.00 cm is concentric with a larger thin spherical shell with radius R2 = 6.00 cm. Both
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

a. i. 1350 V ii 0 V iii -450 V b. 6.75 kV. The inner shell is at a higher potential.

Explanation:

The formula for electric potential is given by V = Σkq/r, where k = 9 × 10⁹ Nm²/C², q = charge and r = distance.

q₁ = charge on smaller shell = +6.00 nC = +6.00 × 10⁻⁹ C, r₁ = radius of smaller shell = 2.00 cm = 2.00 × 10⁻² m.

q₂ = charge on larger shell = -9.00 nC = -9.00 × 10⁻⁹ C, r₂ = radius of larger shell = 6.00 cm = 6.00 × 10⁻² m.

a. At r = 0, inside both spheres V = kq₁/r₁ + kq₂/r₂. = k(q₁/r₁ + q₂/r₂) = 9 × 10⁹ [+6.00 × 10⁻⁹/2.00 × 10⁻² + (-9.00 × 10⁻⁹/6.00 × 10⁻²)] = 1350 V

ii. At r = 4.00 cm, the point outside of smaller shell but inside larger shell. r₁ = 4.00 cm = 4.00 × 10⁻² m and r₂ = 6.00 cm = 6.00 × 10⁻². So, V = kq₁/r₁ + kq₂/r₂. = k(q₁/r₁ + q₂/r₂) = 9 × 10⁹ [+6.00 × 10⁻⁹/4.00 × 10⁻² + (-9.00 × 10⁻⁹/6.00 × 10⁻²)] = 0 V.

iii. At r = 6.00 cm, the point outside both shells. r₁ = r₂ = r = 6.00 cm = 6.00 × 10⁻². So, V = kq₁/r₁ + kq₂/r₂. = k(q₁ + q₂)/r = 9 × 10⁹ [+6.00 × 10⁻⁹+ (-9.00 × 10⁻⁹)]/6.00 × 10⁻² = -450 V.

b. The potential of the surface of the smaller shell is V₁ = 9 × 10⁹ [+6.00 × 10⁻⁹/2.00 × 10⁻²] = 2700 V = 2.7 kV.

The potential of the surface of the larger shell is V₂ = 9 × 10⁹ [-9.00 × 10⁻⁹/2.00 × 10⁻²] = -4050 V = -4.050 kV. The potential difference V₁ - V₂ = 2700 - (-4050) V = 6750 V = 6.75 kV. Since the potential difference is positive, V₁ is higher. So, the inner shell is at a higher potential.

In a container of negligible mass, 0.400 kg of ice at an initial temperature of -29.0 ∘C is mixed with a mass m of water that ha
Pie

Answer:

1 kg

Explanation:

The container has negligible mass and no heat is loss to the surrounding.

Mass of ice = 0.4kg, initial temperature of ice = -29oC, final temperature of the mixture = 26oC, mass of water (m2) = ?kg, initial temperature of water = 80oC, c ( specific heat capacity of water ) = 4200J/kg.K, Lf = heat of fusion of water = 3.36 × 10^5 J/kg

Using the formula:

Quantity of heat gain by ice = Quantity of heat loss by water

Quantity of heat gain by ice = mass of ice × heat of fusion of ice + mass of water × specific heat capacity of water = (0.4 × 3.36 × 10^ 5) + (0.4 × 4200 × (26- (-29) = 13.44 × 10^4 + 9.24 × 10^ 4 = 22.68 × 10^4 J

Quantity of heat loss by water = m2cΔT

Quantity of heat loss by water = m2 ×4200× (80 - 26) = m(226800)

since heat gain = heat loss

22.68 × 10^4 = 226800 m2

divide both side by 226800

226800 / 226800 = m2

m2 = 1 kg
