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 an object sinks in a fluid, the buoyant force ____.
german
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. As an object sinks in a fluid, the buoyant force increases before it is submerged and as the object is submerged the buoyant force stays the same. This can be explained by Archimedes principle.<span />

What constant acceleration is required to increase the speed of a car from 20 mi/h to 51 mi/h in 3 seconds
sdas [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity

a = (51 - 20) / 3 = 10⅓ mi/hr/s

which should probably be converted to standard units.

10⅓ mi/hr/s(5280 ft/mi) / 3600 s/hr) = 15.15555... ≈ 15.2 ft/s²

which is roughly half the acceleration of gravity.

An electron with a speed of 1.7 × 107 m/s moves horizontally into a region where a constant vertical force of 4.9 × 10-16 N acts
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

 y = 77.74 10⁻⁵ m

Explanation:

For this exercise we can use Newton's second law

        F = m a

        a = F / m

        a = 4.9 10⁻¹⁶ / 9.1 10⁻³¹

        a = 0.538 10¹⁵ m / s

This is the vertical acceleration of the electron.

Now let's use kinematics to find the time it takes to move the

         x= 29 mm = 29 10⁻³ m

On the x axis

            v = x / t

            t = x / v

            t = 29 10⁻³ / 1.7 10⁷

            t = 17 10⁻¹⁰ s

Now we can look for vertical distance at this time.

            y = v_{oy} t + ½ a t²

            y = 0 + ½ 0.538 10¹⁵ (17 10⁻¹⁰)²

            y = 77.74 10⁻⁵ m
