A two-stage rocket moves in space at a constant velocity of +4300 m/s. The two stages are then separated by a small explosive ch

arge placed between them. Immediately after the explosion the velocity of the 1160-kg upper stage is +5940 m/s. What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the 2100-kg lower stage immediately after the explosion?

Answer:

 v_{1f} = +3,394 103 m / s

Explanation:

We will solve this problem with the concept of the moment. Let's start by defining the system that is formed by the complete rocket before and after the explosions, bone with the two stages, for this system the moment is conserved.

The data they give is the mass of the first stage m1 = 2100 kg, the mass of the second stage m2 = 1160 kg and its final velocity v2f = +5940 m / s and the speed of the rocket before the explosion vo = +4300 m / s

The moment before the explosion

      p₀ = (m₁ + m₂) v₀

After the explosion

      pf = m₁ v_{1f} + m₂ v_{2f}

     p₀ = [texpv_{f}[/tex]

     (m₁ + m₂) v₀ = m₁ v_{1f} + m₂ v_{2f}

Let's calculate the final speed (v1f) of the first stage

     v_{1f} = ((m₁ + m₂) v₀ - m₂ v_{2f}) / m₁

     

     v_{1f} = ((2100 +1160) 4300 - 1160 5940) / 2100

     v_{1f} = (14,018 10 6 - 6,890 106) / 2100

     v_{1f} = 7,128 106/2100

     v_{1f} = +3,394 103 m / s

come the same direction of the final stage, but more slowly

As v becomes zero at the highest point, i prefer considering different travelling directions so it will become less complicated.
dont forget to add the total time up .

also to master the skills, write down the "uvsat" may help (thats the way i found it easier to handle problems)

Three resistances 2 ohm ,3ohm and 5 ohm are connected in parallel and a
hammer [34]

The potential difference across 3 Ohm resistor is 20V.

The resistors are connected in parallel which means all the three resistances have a fully potential difference of 20V.

An astronaut holds a rock 100m above the surface of Planet X. The rock is then thrown upward with a speed of 15m/s, as shown in
Harlamova29_29 [7]

The acceleration due to gravity of the planet X is 1 m/s².

The given parameters;

  • height above the ground, h = 100 m
  • initial velocity of the rock, u = 15 m/s
  • time of motion of the rock, t = 10 s

The acceleration due to gravity is calculated as follows;

h = ut - \frac{1}{2} gt^2\\\\100 = 15(10) - (0.5\times 10^2)g\\\\100 = 150 - 50g\\\\50g = 150-100\\\\50g = 50\\\\g = 1 \ m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity of the planet X is 1 m/s²
