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

Answer:

D

Explanation:

If you list and compare, the elephants hearing range is the closest to a humans.

Humans: 20-20,000

Elephant: 16-12,000

While the others are either too much more or less than a humans.

Bat: 2,000-110,000

Dolphin: 90-105,000

Chicken: 125-2,000

Compare and contrast the life cycle of a low mass star and a high mass star
True [87]
Low mass: Live for billions (trillions?) of years. The first low mass red dwarfs in this universe still haven't died off yet, so we aren't completely sure what happens when they "die." 

<span>Very High Mass: Run through their fuel exceedingly fast. *Die* relatively quickly (in the range of tens to hundreds of millions of years instead of billions and beyond) and go out with style, Supernova that will leave behind a neutron star (the *kind of very high mass stars" end this way) or a black hole (the *very very high mass stars* end this way.)</span>

If this resolving power is diffraction-limited, to what effective diameter of your eye's optical system does this correspond? us
ZanzabumX [31]
"This resolving power" was obviously stated earlier, somewhere before the point where you started copying. With no resolving power specified, there's actually no question, and so no answer.
