A space vehicle is traveling at 2980 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 94 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:

3054.4 km/h

Explanation:

Using the conservation of momentum

momentum before separation = 5M × 2980 Km/h where M represent the mass of the module while 4 M represent the mass of the motor

initial momentum = 14900 M km/h

let v be the new speed of the motor so that the

new momentum = 4Mv and the new momentum of the module  = M ( v + 94 km/h )

total momentum = 4Mv + Mv + 93 M = 5 Mv + 93M

initial momentum = final momentum

14900 M km/h = 5 Mv + 93M

14900 km/h = 5v + 93

14900 - 93 = 5v

v = 2961.4 km/h

the speed of the module = 2961.4 + 93 = 3054.4 km/h

Water runs into a fountain, filling all the pipes, at a steady rate of 0.750 m3>s. (a) How fast will it shoot out of a hole 4
kati45 [8]

Answer:

velocity  = 472 m/s

velocity = 52.4 m/s

Explanation:

given data

steady rate = 0.750 m³/s

diameter = 4.50 cm

solution

we use here flow rate formula that is

flow rate = Area × velocity .............1

0.750 = \frac{\pi }{4} × (4.50×10^{-2})²  × velocity

solve it we get

velocity  = 472 m/s

and

when it 3 time diameter

put valuer in equation 1

0.750 = \frac{\pi }{4} × 3 ×  (4.50×10^{-2})²  × velocity

velocity = 52.4 m/s
