A tracking station on Earth observes a rocket move away at 0.370c. This rocket is designed to launch a projectile at 0.505c rela

tive to the rocket. What speed (in terms of the speed of light) does the tracking station measure for the projectile if it is fired (a) straight ahead of the rocket or (b) backward from the rocket?

Answer

given,

speed of rocket moving away = 0.370 c

speed of projectile = 0.505 c

a) Speed of the tracking station

  u = 0.505 c + 0.370 c = 0.875 c

 u'= \dfrac{u-v}{1-\dfrac{uv}{c^2}}

 u'= \dfrac{(0.875 c)-0.370 c}{1-0.875 \times 0.370}

        u' = 0.747 c

b)  when the rocket is moving backward

    u = -0.505 c + 0.37 c = - 0.135 c

 u'= \dfrac{-v}{1-\dfrac{uv}{c^2}}

 u'= \dfrac{(-0.135 c-0.370 c}{1-(-0.135) \times 0.370}

        u' = -0.481 c

A total Δν of 15 km/s is required to achieve an interplanetary mission. The proposed rocket has two stages. The first stage alon
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

102000 kg

Explanation:

Given:

A total Δν = 15 km/s

first stage mass = 1000 tonnes

specific impulse of liquid rocket =  300 s

Mass flow rate of liquid fuel = 1500 kg/s

specific impulse of solid fuel = 250 s

Mass flow of solid fuel = 200 kg/s

First stage burn time = 1 minute = 1 × 60 seconds = 60 seconds

Now,

Mass flow of liquid fuel in 1 minute = Mass flow rate × Burn time

or

Mass flow of liquid fuel in 1 minute = 1500 × 60 = 90000 kg

Also,

Mass flow of solid fuel in 1 minute = Mass flow rate × Burn time

or

Mass flow of solid fuel in 1 minute = 200 × 60 = 12000 kg

Therefore,

The total jettisoned mass flow of the fuel in first stage

= 90000 kg +  12000 kg

= 102000 kg

PART 2 OF ENERGY AND FORCES UNIT TEST
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

1. at least two charged interacting parts

2. from the electric fields of charged subatomic particles

3 an arrow released from the bow

4Electrical fields of charged particles interact, bonding those with opposite charges.

5 the interaction of the electric fields of protons and electrons

6 The energy stored in the system increases.

7 Kinetic energy increases because the magnets move in the direction of the field.

8 Iron pieces accelerate toward the magnet, and the energy stored in the system decreases.

9  

The energy stored in the field decreases because the magnet moves in the direction of the field.

10 The energy stored increases and then decreases.

11 The wire was not connected to the source.

12  The electromagnet will become more powerful.

the rest are written, hope this helps (:

A motor cycle travelling at 10 m/s accelerates at 4m/s(squared) for 8s.
Sever21 [200]


10 x 4^2 = 160 / 8..

V = 20m/s...

...x 8 = 100 miles,meters, metric what ever m stands for after 8 seconds.

This is my guess since the problem says 4m/s^2

V= distance/ ST (traveled/used)
