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

Darya [45]
According to newton's third law of motion, when a hammer strikes and exerts force to push it into a piece of wood, the nail <span>C. exerts an equal or opposite force on the hammer. The third law of motion states that every action has an equal BUT opposite reaction. This means that the nail exerts the same force the hammer exerts on it.</span>

An airplane travels 4000m in 16 seconds on a heading of 35 whats is its velocity
Marizza181 [45]

In the question, you just gave a complete and detailed
description of the plane's velocity vector:

       4,000/16  meters/second , heading 35 degrees .

You might want to simplify the speed and make it a unit rate,
but otherwise, it's perfect.

         250 meters/second, heading 35 degrees .
