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

To test the performance of its tires, a car
velikii [3]

<u>Answer</u>:

The coefficient of  static friction between the tires and the road is 1.987

<u>Explanation</u>:

<u>Given</u>:

Radius of the track, r =  516 m

Tangential Acceleration a_r=  3.89 m/s^2

Speed,v =  32.8 m/s

<u>To Find:</u>

The coefficient of  static friction between the tires and the road = ?

<u>Solution</u>:

The radial Acceleration is given by,

a_{R = \frac{v^2}{r}

a_{R = \frac{(32.8)^2}{516}

a_{R = \frac{(1075.84)}{516}

a_{R = 2.085 m/s^2

Now the total acceleration is

\text{ total acceleration} = \sqrt{\text{(tangential acceleration)}^2 +{\text{(Radial acceleration)}^2

=>= \sqrt{ (a_r)^2+(a_R)^2}

=>\sqrt{ (3.89 )^2+( 2.085)^2}

=>\sqrt{ (15.1321)+(4.347)^2}

=>19.4791 m/s^2

The frictional force on the car will be f = ma------------(1)

And the force due to gravity is W = mg--------------------(2)

Now the coefficient of  static friction is

\mu =\frac{f}{W}

From (1) and (2)

\mu =\frac{ma}{mg}

\mu =\frac{a}{g}

Substituting the values, we get

\mu =\frac{19.4791}{9.8}

\mu =1.987

If the distance between two objects decreased, what would happen to the force of gravity between them?
evablogger [386]

Answer: A- It would increase

Explanation:

According to the law of universal gravitation:

F=G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^2}  

Where:  

F is the module of the attraction force exerted between both objects

G is the universal gravitation constant.  

m_{1} and m_{2} are the masses of both objects  

r is the distance between both objects

As we can see, the gravity force is directly proportional to the mass of the bodies or objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them.

In other words:

<h2>If we decrease the distance between both objects, the gravitational force between them will increase.  </h2>

Which of Newton's laws explains why satellites need very little fuel to stay in oribit?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Sattelites don't need any fuel to stay in orbit. The applicable law is...."objects in motion tend to stay in motion". Having reached orbital velocity, any such object is essentially "falling" around the earth. Since there is no (or at least very little) friction in the vacuum of space, the object does not slow.... It simply continues.


Sattelites in "low" earth orbit do encounter some friction from the very thin upper atmosphere, and they will eventually "decay".
